The Best Sandals Not Named Yeezy Slides

Today’s Yeezy Slides drops could have gone better, but before you pay resell, here are the best alternatives for your go-to summer sandal:

Birkenstock Boston

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this has been Instagram’s most popular slip-on. All the moodboarders fought over the Stussy collaboration but the OG Taupe colorway is just as good and is readily available.

Suicoke Kaw-Cab

The more affordable Visvim Christo. Suicoke has established itself as the go-to sandal brand out of Japan. With a range of models, the Kaw-Cab is a personal favorite due to the upper construction. The sandals are also outfitted with Vibram soles. They’re on sale via SSENSE with the SHOP15 code.

Nike Asuna Crater Slide

Nike’s newest sandal features 20% recycled materials by weight. The Crater Foam also offers great cushioning and comfort to go along with a nice design.

adidas Adilette Boost Slide

Perhaps the go-to post-game footwear for most, the adilette slides have been a staple with athletes. Add the extra boost cushioning and you have a guaranteed winner from adidas here.

Merrell Hydro Moc

If you thought you could get through another day without hearing me talk about these, you were wrong. That being said, the Hydro Moc is now being picked up by global retailers like SSENSE. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the public catches on. Sharing the same DNA as the Foam Runners and Crocs, these will undoubtedly be the sandal of the summer.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
