Which shoes you wear to the beach depends on what time of year you’re going, what the weather is like, what you plan on doing and how far you’ll have to walk back to wherever it is you’re staying or parked before walking to the water.

Rubber shoes might seem like the obvious choice, but they don’t make much sense if you’re planning to go straight to dinner after your day in the sun. They also are not the most comfortable when sand gets inside them. The combination of wet feet and sticky sand can cause quite the rash in rubber shoes.

On the other hand, you can’t just wear your canvas sneakers. You have to wear shoes that can both get wet — you know how waves are — and then be machine washed once home to remove the sand from within them. Leather shoes are a tricky call, too, because they aren’t technically waterproof. Shoes like Sperry Topsiders, however, can totally get wet. In fact, they were made to withstand exposure to water. You just have to let them dry.
