" This week The Wall Street Journal has gone through the trouble of interviewing Stuart Weitzman \u2014 the maker of shoes that many women love \u2014 on his rather surprising love of sandals. Men&amp;#039;s sandals. Or &amp;quot;Mandals,&amp;quot; which somehow made it through the WSJ editing process. Anyway, his advice is pretty much that they&amp;#039;re perfect for the summer, especially in Europe, if you happen to spend all your time there. Beat-up leather is nice, too, but make sure the straps aren&amp;#039;t too thin. Those would just look bad on a man&amp;#039;s wider foot, plus they might be painful as they dig into your skin. Don&amp;#039;t wear sandals to work, he reminds us all, as if that were actually up for debate. And here&amp;#039;s some advice from us: Don&amp;#039;t wear sandals at all, maybe. Especially if you live in a city. Myriad other options exist which will allow your feet to breath without requiring you to visit the manicurist. Like espadrilles, say, or the slip-ons above. They&amp;#039;re Rivieras Leisure Shoes, from the South of France. So they&amp;#039;ll work plenty fine in Europe. And here, too.
