Generic Surplus - Slip On

Following The Generic Man's philosophy of clean, simple lines, Generic Surplus offers its own take on the classic slip-on style. While these aren't as formal as some of the brand's other shoes, the vulcanized mesh version makes for a great casual summer shoe that is both durable and breathable. Pick up a pair in black, gray, or khaki. $52

ALIFE - Public Naval Leather

Taking design cues from both the Vans Era and the Slip-On, the ALIFE crew created a plimsoll-style sneaker that is built from premium leather. It follows a minimalist theme, featuring faux eyelets, an elastic tongue, and cork insoles. A red heel tab adds a nice pop of color, and the quality construction ensures you'll be comfortable throughout your day. $110

Creative Recreation - Don Carlo

Dress it up or keep it simple, the Creative Recreation Don Carlo is a good look for both formal and casual occasions. Sure, a pair of oxfords or wingtips can be great if you want to dress like your dad, but for a classy yet modern look, Creative Recreation is the way to go. $63

Clae - Garvey

The Clae Garvey is a great slip-on, and a must-have for the summer. It combines the comfort of a cupsole with premium Napa leather for a shoe that not only looks good, but that can also double as semi-formal footwear. $50

Nike - Air Rejuven8 Mule 2

What will Nike think of next? The Rejuven8 Mule 2 combines the feel of a Mule with Torch and Lunar Foam technologies to create a whole new category of comfort. While not the most aesthetically pleasing shoe on the market (or city-appropriate), the Air Rejuven8 Mule 2 is a leader in comfort and breathability when you're on vacation. $100

Supra - Cuban

Possibly one of Supra's cleanest silhouettes, the Cuban is back and better than ever for 2010. The chain loop and fold-over tongue have been replaced by a boat-shoe-like leather lace, so these aren't technically a slip-on, but we're calling it one anyway. The canvas build makes for another winner from the folks over at Supra. $68

Vans Vault - Home School Slip On LX

Call it the older college-graduate cousin of the Old Skool and the Mid Skool: The new Home Skool slip-on epitomizes the top-level design aesthetic of the Vans Vault line. It's available in either black or white, and both pairs feature a smooth, premium-leather construction with minimal accents. The black pair gets help from a nice blue inner lining, while the white pair is contrasted with black. $104

However, this time around, the hand-sewn shoes are unlined and unconstructed for barefoot comfort and all day wearability. $195
