We asked a panel of testers to try these styles out on holiday and they rated them for comfort, style and coolness.</p><p>1. <strong>Rio Men’s Adventure Sandal:</strong> £49.99, hi-tec.com</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/Hi-Tec.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="Hi-Tec.gif" title="Hi-Tec.gif"/></div></div></div><p>So you want to feel bit of fresh air but don’t fancy showing off you’re the hooves you’ve had stuffed in socks for the rest of the year? These sandals have mesh uppers and the closed-toe style gives more coverage. Great if you’re likely to be walking on rougher terrain.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.hi-tec.com/uk/rio-adventure-mens-sandal-navy-graphite-orange.html" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p>2. <strong>Valor Race Sandal: </strong>£55, clarks.co.uk</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/Clarks-Valor-Race.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="Clarks-Valor-Race.gif" title="Clarks-Valor-Race.gif"/></div></div></div><p>These are pretty good-looking if you like the minimalist style of sandal. In soft leather, our tester said he felt these were smart enough to wear to dinner after a long day walking around a humid Disneyworld in Florida. Not traditionally sporty, but majorly comfortable.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/26106973" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p>3. <strong>Lotus Rothbury Sandal:</strong> £35, brantano.co.uk</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/lotus_brantano.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="lotus_brantano.gif" title="lotus_brantano.gif"/></div></div></div><p>A more traditional choice, these Lotus sandals are well made for the price and scored well for their comfortable, moulded memory-foam foot bed. Our tester wore them on the tourist trail in Marrakech and gave them a glowing report.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.brantano.co.uk/men/sandals/mens-men-sandals-sandals-brown-lotus-8000029734" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>4. <strong>Regatta Outdoor Sandals:</strong> £35, matalan.co.uk</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/matalan.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="matalan.gif" title="matalan.gif"/></div></div></div><p>Not everyone likes the feeling of a shaped sole and our tester found the flat foot bed on these Regatta numbers more comfortable for everyday use than other sports sandals. They suited his wider feet as the Velcro straps adjust in three places.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.matalan.co.uk/mens/footwear/s2598252/regatta-outdoor-sandals" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p>5. <strong>The North Face Hedgehog Sandals: </strong>£55, johnlewis.com</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/NORTH-FACE-JON-LEWIS.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="NORTH-FACE-JON-LEWIS.gif" title="NORTH-FACE-JON-LEWIS.gif"/></div></div></div><p>The North Face i associated with cold-weather clothes and shoes, but the brand does a great line in sandals too. If you’re Alpine hiking this summer, the Hedgehog sandal is a good choice. The ‘nubuck’ upper is synthetic and water resistant while the sole is non-slip on rocky riverbanks.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.johnlewis.com/the-north-face-men%27s-hedgehog-sandal-tnf-black-tnf-red/p1131176" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p>6. <strong>Rip Tape Sandal: </strong>£19.50, marksandspencer.com</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/marksandspencer.gif" width="564" height="752" alt="marksandspencer.gif" title="marksandspencer.gif"/></div></div></div><p>Our tester liked the ‘barely-there’ feeling of these light sandals. Perhaps more suited to walking round a mall than the foothills of the Himalayas, they’re a great bargain choice, especially if your feet tend to swell in hotter weather as the day goes on.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.marksandspencer.com/riptape-sandals/p/p22371491" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>7. <strong>Landsurfer Sandal:</strong> £75, fitflop.co.uk</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/fitflop.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="fitflop.gif" title="fitflop.gif"/></div></div></div><p>Our tester found FitFlops took a bit of getting used to – the sole on these sandal feels rounded so he needed to ‘find his feet’ at first. Now he’s converted and especially likes how they’ve made him ‘address his poor posture’. Top marks.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.fitflop.co.uk/mens/mens-sandals/fitflop-landsurfer-in-textile-%7C-official-fitflop-store/883945658495.html" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>8. <strong>TerraFi 4 Sandal:</strong> £70, teva.co.uk</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/Teva.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="Teva.gif" title="Teva.gif"/></div></div></div><p>This chunky Teva strap sandal takes the design classic and makes it even more comfortable. For all-day wear this was the sandal our tester raved about most, as it had a light but substantial sole, moulded comfort for the feet and breezy summer styling.</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336/http://www.teva.co.uk/1004485.html" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p><p> </p><p>9. <strong>F&F Leather Triple Strap Adventure Sandal: </strong>£20, clothingattesco.com</p><p></p><div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161108045336im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/05/08/16/FF-Leather-Triple-Strap-Adventure-Sandals.gif" width="564" height="423" alt="FF-Leather-Triple-Strap-Adventure-Sandals.gif" title="FF-Leather-Triple-Strap-Adventure-Sandals.gif"/></div></div></div><p>This well-priced choice from Tesco is for you if you’re a once-a-year-on-hols sandals wearer.
