They don't. Sandals are gay.

so he's running around doing errands on a random weekend day in espadrilles? he doesn't have a pair of tevas or whatever to throw on when it's hot and he is out running around?

My dad never wore flip flops or sandals. It was the boat shoe thing.

DH wears Chacos. I tried them but they were too narrow for my feet.

I don't understand this thing about men not being allowed to wear sandals? Why?

Because a lot of people have weird and regressive rules about clothing and gender

I think this is my DH b/c he won't wear sandals. Even when i'ts baking outside. We've been togerther 25 years and I still ahve not figured this out.

and now our DS won't wear them either.

??? oh well.

I’m the PP you’re responding to. I have no issue with people wearing what they’re comfortable in. My husband wears sandals occasionally but is just physically more comfortable in sneakers; one of my sons is also like this, while the other wears Birks a lot. That’s fine! I just can’t handle people imposing these meaningless “rules” on other people.

Exactly. There are a lot of variations in "sandals" for men. That was the point of the original question.... what types of shoes for teens/men in hot climates?
