To bravely go without socks in the summer is to be okay with the prospect of destroying your shoes. Some of us aren't there yet. Thankfully, there are some affordable footwear options out there which allow you to wear handsome, comfortable shoes during sockless season and not break down in tears if they don't make it until next summer. Case in point: these suede loafers from, wait for it, Hush Puppies. Yes, the favorite footwear choice of fathers (and grandfathers) has a few slip-ons you may be interested in. The company, founded in 1958, has updated some of the archival designs with a leaner toe and an ultra-light leather-lined footbed for comfort. The Nicholson model even has a moisture-wicking mesh fabric lining. Featherweight and affordable, consider the shoes an alternative to wearing flip flops anywhere but near the pool.
