Sandals for Men

Sperry’s men’s sandal range covers three main styles. Flip flops and thong sandals, like the Baitfish Thong, Porto, Ventura, and Havasu, are the most popular and come in leather and synthetic options with rawhide and skip lace detailing. Slides, like the Flow Slide, offer an easy slip-on option with a molded footbed. And leather sandals bring a more strapped, structured look for days when you want something a little more put together than a flip flop. Most styles come in tan and brown leather, plus black and navy in select colorways.

Yes, and the difference is obvious as soon as you wear them. Sperry flip flops are made with full-grain leather, rawhide lacing, and Wave-Siping™ rubber outsoles built for traction on wet surfaces like boat decks and docks. That's what separates them from your average drugstore flip-flop. Styles like the Baitfish Thong are designed to be worn in and around water, so they get more comfortable the more you wear them. If you've been on the fence, they're genuinely worth the upgrade.

Built for it. Sperry sandals and flip flops are designed with coastal conditions in mind, from the Wave-Siping™ traction soles that grip wet surfaces to the leather and synthetic uppers that can handle sand, salt water, and sun without falling apart. The Baitfish Thong flip flops are both beach-ready and genuinely look good enough to wear off the sand too. If you need something even easier to throw on and off, the Flow Slide is a great beach day option.

Sperry flip flops and thong sandals, like the Baitfish, use a toe post construction where a strap goes between your first and second toes to hold the sandal in place. Slides, like the Flow, use a single wide band across the top of the foot with no toe post, so they're easier to slip on and off. Flip flops tend to offer a more secure fit for active days, while slides are the low-effort option for casual wear. Both styles use Sperry's Wave-Siping™ outsoles for grip on slippery surfaces.

Sperry sandals generally run true to size. Leather thong sandals like the Baitfish will feel snug at first and soften with wear, so if you're between sizes, going true to size is usually the right call. Slides like the Flow should fit comfortably across the foot without the band feeling too tight or sliding around. Wide width options are available in select styles for a more comfortable fit. Check the Sperry size guide before you order if you're unsure.

The Baitfish Thong is Sperry's most popular flip-flop style, made with full-grain leather and built to last beyond one summer. The Havasu is the go-to for a traditional leather thong sandal with all-day cushioning. If you want a slide, the Flow Slide is the easiest option for casual warm weather days. And if you want something with more structure, Sperry's leather boat sandals bring a strapped, adventure-ready look. The right pick depends on how active your summer plans are.
