Style Pick of the Week: Astorflex Surflex Cupsole Shoes – An Easygoing Spring and Summer Footwear Move

Sometimes, the easiest style solutions are right in front of your face — or your feet, in the case of the best sneakers for men. There are times where sleek loafers suffice, there are times when trail-ready hiking sandals are the way to go, and there are opportunities where white leather sneakers are going to deliver in fine form. Of course, you can find all of ’em at Huckberry, which is what brings us here today.

And then there are those in-between times when the style solution as far as the best men’s sneakers are concerned is to go with something more easygoing — a slip-on sneaker that has elements of most of the sneakers mentioned above, with the casual ease to pair with a camp collar shirt and stretch chino shorts, or else a crisp, breezy polo and linen trousers.

And thanks to my good friends at Huckberry, your new casual footwear style solution awaits — the hybrid Astorflex Suriflex Cupsole Slip-On Sneakers, with BBQ-ready style and the comfort to take you into and through the weekend. Ideally, you’ve heard of the family-owned footwear producers at Astorflex over the years reading this blog, with a focus on sustainably sourced rubber and aged suede and leather for supple style and comfort — these stylish men’s slip-on sneakers certainly fit their billing, at least in my experience.

The key with the Astorflex Suriflex Cupsole Slip-On Sneakers (which come in two shades of handsome suede and an eye-catching Nubuck option) is the cupsole sneaker outsole and memory foam footbed, one covered in leather for comfort right out of the box.

The crepe cup sole delivers support, rebound and comfort, and these fresh kicks are handmade in northern Italy for the ultimate in stylish, responsible construction. They’re also unlined for added comfort from the moment you first slide into ’em (which I would imagine to be right when you unbox ’em from my good friends at Huckberry!).

Best men's slip-on sneakers.

Helpfully, the Chestnut Nubuck leather option of the Astorflex Suriflex Cupsole Slip-On Sneakers will start to develop its own patina over time, something I always appreciate when it comes to the best sneakers for the men. And the earthy suede varieties of the Astorflex Suriflex Cupsole Slip-On Sneakers should pair as reliably with olive chinos as with light wash jeans and a lightweight pocket tee. Expert, versatile summer style that hits the right marks awaits: All you need to do is embrace the style solution that is easygoing-yet-highly-wearable slip-on sneakers.

The Tuesday Steal: These Refined Slip-On Sneakers From Todd Snyder are a Downright Style Steal

Best men's sneakers for summer.

When you think of slip-on sneakers, what’s the first style or thought that springs to mind? Perhaps you consider the laidback nature of canvas slip-ons, the type you’d wear kickin’ around the boardwalk, or perhaps at a backyard BBQ. Or perhaps you think of something with a touch more refinement, like the Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers shown above?

The second option is definitely more uncommon in the world of the best men’s sneakers, but make no mistake, you can trust Todd Snyder and Todd Snyder footwear to deliver an elevated yet thoughtful take on a classic. A leather slip-on might seem an unusual approach to a casual footwear style, but one that pays dividends when worn and styled the right way — and of course, these Todd Snyder sneakers are now helpfully on sale. Let’s dive in, shall we?

The Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers came about because, as the brand itself says, its namesake designer was “looking for something casual but cool that would be easy to slip on and off,” and thus, these handsome leather slip-on sneakers sprang to life.

With a streamlined suede leather upper and a sporty yet casual, refined yet easygoing silhouette, they check all the right boxes when you want something sharp and fashionable besides lace-up leather dress shoes or loafers.

That’s right: If I were you, I’d go so far as to pair the Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers with linen trousers and perhaps a knit polo, or else even a classic pocket T-shirt and rolled light wash jeans (the good news for you is, Todd Snyder sells all of those essentials — and then some).

They’re also made for comfort when worn to summer BBQs and all-day outdoor affairs — a cork footbed molds to your foot over time, and the EVA midsole delivers rebound and cushioning.

As I often say, one of America’s best menswear designers seems to have considered every detail from the ground up, and this pair of the best slip-on sneakers for men is no exception. They’re also marked down 24 percent right now, so you’re getting some serious bang for your buck when it comes to the Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers. Try ’em on for size and get out there this summer, my friends.
