Maxim's guide to the best footwear for this sporadically sunny season.

Getting our Summer Kicks...

Pretty Green 'Champagne' Desert Boot

Desert boots have made a heavy duty stamp in the fashion world over the last year or so, and these summer shaded efforts from Pretty Green look the business. Great for treading on the toe's of tossers who insist on wearing flip flops down your packed out local at ten pm.

Converse All Star Players

A pair for you skateboarding aficionados out there wanting to champion some new Con's this season, without worrying about looking too '2002'. A typically Americanised approach from the yank skate brand with a red white and blue colourway yes, but these will get you all the right looks - from the skate park to sun lounger.

Haivaianas '4nite'

With a name that gets mispronounced more often than Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny (its Hav-ay-arnas not Havanas), the king of the flip flop brand has adorned the feet of celebs and intrepid travellers alike for a while now. Though immense popularity has rendered the brand a bit cliché'd - impressively they still continue to delve into some pretty badass collaborations to keep their designs fresh. We're big fans of their new '4nite' styles, though wouldn't recommend staring at the mad design too long if you've ingested a little too much LSD at a Thai Full Moon Bash.

Sebago Beacon

Widely regarded as the best boat shoe about - Sebago Docksides have been a staple of style and comfort for the land and sea faring chap for decades. Where many high street brands have tried to design a Mod influenced 'boot boat shoe' and failed, Sebago suceed in looking beautifully shipshape. If you're quick about it...you can pick them up on offer via our handy link below.

Ted Baker Asook

Those of you misguided folks out there thinking ol Teddy B's only good for pointy toe shoes and even more pointed shirt collars best get aload of their fresh new trainer range. Simple, understated and classically fashionable, these summer pumps will look right at home from Bournmouth to Benidorm this summer.
