These Ralph Lauren slides are a reasonable start—not too expensive, but also not too cheap. Ralph Lauren products have always been made from excellent materials, and the brand is renowned for its long-lasting products (some people have had their items for 20-plus years). The ‘Ponys’ are good for both casual and pool wear, and have the signature Polo finish with Ralph Lauren's iconic Big Pony logo at the top. The EVA midsole provides extra comfort, making this a solid pickup.

• Cons: Could run too small
• Size(s): 4-14 | Material(s): Synthetic Upper, EVA Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

Stylish and comfortable, the Adidas Adilette Comfort Sandals are a versatile slide for men that can be worn casually, or even cross into the semi-formal category depending on the event. You could pair these with different athletic outfits, or even suits/blazers for a variety of looks. The EVA outsole makes for an easy walk, and can be paired with other Adidas items.

With over five available colorway options, the ‘Adicanes’ have a synthetic upper, durable footbed, and are fast-drying for pool days. The ‘Adicanes’ have always been reasonably priced (they tend to go for about $50) as of this writing, so this definitely a snag when it comes to non-designer slides that have a slightly designer look.

• Pros: Very affordable
• Cons: Not as durable as other slides
• Size(s): 7-13 | Material(s): Rubber Upper, Rubber Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

You aren't going to beat the price of $12.99 for a pair of good quality slides from a big-name athletic brand. While the shoes may not be as long lasting compared to other slides that you spend more money on, they are easily replaceable so it's not that big of a deal.

• Pros: Stylish and comfortable
• Cons: Not as durable as other slides
• Size(s): 8-13.5 | Material(s): Synthetic Upper, Synthetic Outsole | Strap Type: Two adjustable straps

While technically labeled a men’s shoe, the ‘Arizona Slides’ is actually a unisex sandal as they are suitable for women as well. The ‘Arizona Slides’ feature an EVA upper complete with adjustable straps, making the foot support solid. The slides can be worn around the house, but are still stylish enough for Airport and grocery store runs. The shoes are also waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about them being ruined if in the instance you get caught in the rain. While we don’t recommend them for work, these could make for a good commute shoe if you have to walk long distances.

• Pros: Versatile and comfortable
• Cons: May be too wide towards the top of the shoe
• Size(s): 7-13 | Material(s): 100% Polyurethane Upper, Rubber Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

The Jake Logo Slides are made with a 100% polyurethane upper , which means your slides will be protected on the beach, lake, water, etc., and the shoes can be worn for different occasions. While the black colorway is a great choice, there is also a brown option to choose from as well.

• Pros: Great Design and Comfortable
• Cons: Could be too pricey
• Size(s): 5-9 | Material(s): Rubber Upper, Rubber Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

Gucci is well...Gucci—one of the most renowned and respected brands on the planet, and having a Gucci item of any kind (even if it’s only one piece) just takes your closet to another level. These rubber slides are highly rated, and remain one of their most popular and best selling items. Again, this all about your personal preferences in terms of what you are willing to pay for slides. If the $300 price tag is cool for you, then this is a worthy investment.

These are also very highly rated, so it appears you will definitely be getting the bang for your buck if you do decide to purchase.

• Pros: Versatile, nice design

Speaking of Nike, the ‘Air Max Camden Men’s Slides’ may be worth a shot if you are looking for a new pickup. The Camden's are composed of synthetic material, so you likely won’t be able to wear them to the pool, but they can work for casual outings and house wear. The ‘Camdens’ feature the standard slip-on design with an elastic panel, and has a textured footbed plus a cushioned Air Max Heel Unit to provide ultimate comfort. The upper part of the shoe has an elastic strap complete with the Nike branding, and also features a black/red colorway option if you want more design.

In case you were wondering, Banana Republic offers a decent selection of slides for both men and women. The Men’s Pool Slides are similar to some of the other pool sandals that we have listed, but the toe strap on these is a tad bit wider compared to the others. At the moment these are the only casual/athletic slides listed on Banana Republic’s website, but they do have a few dressier ones to choose from if you are interested in those as well.

• Pros: Affordable and Versatile
• Cons: May run slightly small
• Size(s): 8-12 | Material(s): Rubber Upper, Rubber Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

Champion has their own slides that are both comfortable and colorful, and sure to add some flavor to your wardrobe. Multiple colorways are available depending on which outlet you shop from, and prices tend to range from about $20-40. In general, Champion is known for their athletic apparel, so the slides will also compliment those items (or any other outfits you have in your closet for that matter).

Have you ever been in the shower and wondered how much easier your life would be if you had a pair of shoes to step into to avoid slipping? Shower slides (or slippers) are really an essential item that everyone should have, and yet most of us don’t own a pair. Adidas currently has the Adilette Cloudfoam Shower Slides on their website, and the slides are made with slip-resistant materials to provide safety, and avoid tracking a bunch of water on the floor once stepping out of the shower.

Even though the ‘Adilettes’ are considered a shower shoe, you can also take them to the pool (or any other water location). You can select from five different colorway options (red, black, white, blue, and gray), and Adidas offers multiple sizes ranging from youth to adult. At just $17.50, these are definitely a steal. 

• Pros: Cutting edge look
• Cons: May not be affordable
• Size(s): 8-13 | Material(s): Leather Upper, Leather Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

Out of all the slides we have on this list, these are arguably the most edgy. Cutting edge and athletic, the Prada's men's slides are a sophisticated shoe that can be used for work, school, or any casual/semi-casual event. The slides have a soft padded leather to provide additional comfort to the foot, and a cushioned insole. Stylistically, these shoes are very attractive, and are versatile enough to go with many different items in your closet. Plus, they can last quite a long time if given the proper care.

• Pros: Sleek Look
• Cons: May not be the most comfortable
• Size(s): 39-46 | Material(s): Leather Upper, Leather Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

Moschino continues to be one of the most famous luxury brands in the world, and are most known for their innovative and eccentric designs. While the ‘Logo Print Slides' aren’t the most ‘out of the ordinary’ compared to other items in the brand’s lineup, they are still unique. Dubbed as poolside attire, the sandals are decorated with a gold-tone logo print, and have a thick wide leather strap complete with the iconic Moschino branding.

The only potential negative with this shoe compared to others, is that it may not be as comfortable due to the lack of additional padding and cushioning. If you can get past that, the Print Slides are a great purchase. However if lack of comfort is a deal breaker, then we can certainly understand that as well. That said, the Print Slides are a solid pickup with excellent ratings.

• Pros: Comfortable and affordable
• Cons: May run too big/small
• Size(s): 40-46 | Material(s): Rubber Upper, Rubber Outsole | Strap Type: Single non-adjustable

• Pros: Comfortable and very affordable
• Cons: The strap may be too loose
