We all know that warmer weather calls for the donning of tank tops, but what do Seattle summer months mean for men's feet? Save the flip-flops for the beach, and opt for a fresh pair of sneakers. As the line between athletic wear and everyday apparel continues to blur, the beloved shoes are a functional and fashionable win. Once you slip 'em on, you'll be on-trend and equipped to tread the city pavement or safely complete your bike commute.
