What shoes are You wearing during summer?

[Oystermuppet]

Good day Folks!
Because of summer season items being on sale this winter, I'm trying gather as much as I can, to be ready for the sun.
I've purchased some linen shirts and linen trousers, but now I'm looking for some shoes to match them.

Since I've always wore synthetic sneakers during summer, I'd like to go for leather, but I'm not sure which way should I go - all tips appreciated.

For now I'm eyeing Panama Jack Gadner or Julius models, pictures below:

Please share photos or Yours, really hoping for on-feet photos, so I can see how they look paired with trousers.

Thank You.

@Jon Crow ah yes, I really like the look of leather boat/deck shoes, but the thought of putting my feet into shoes without socks on scares me I'll have to give them a try some day

Jim green Vellies, the absolute perfect shop shoe and summer beaters.

These are the custom shop Vellies I ordered this past summer.
I have had absolutely zero problem wearing these or my beater rough out Vellies with thin no show athletic socks during the past 2 100°f-110°f+ northern California summers.

I love the Vellies for their wide toe box, but they do also offer their lower top shoelies which just may be more of what you're after.
If the wide toe box interested you ( it's the best ) it can be custom ordered on this last from their custom shop.
If I remember correctly my upgraded custom shop Vellies were only $225 shipped to my door from the factory in south Africa.
They normally only run about $130, and can even be had for $100 under their frequent sales.
No they may not be the most sleek dressy upscale looking shoes or boots, but they are good quality rugged and comfortable.

January in London, and I'm trying not to think about the hellheat that will descend in May and plague us until September. When it comes, though... I wil wear leather shoes as normal forcmuch of it. Penny loafers work well, being low shoes thry leave more of my foot exposed (in a sock. I never leave the house without socks on). I've sadly found the heat harder to bear as I've aged, so last year for the first time in maybe two decades I picked up a couple of pairs of sneakers. Not a fan of sneakers at all, but needs must. Just the clasic vans that look like regular shoes but in canvas with rubber soles. Vans Classics have been around since 66, though they are of a style that dates a decade or two earlier. The slip on pair are handy for flying in when it's too hot for a proper shoe. Next Summer Inplan also to try a Clarks desert boot.

I love to rock' loafers during summer, super easy to just throw on, not very sweaty and looks great with pretty much everything

For now I only own one pair of Mojas after throwing away/giving away the rest, as they were done sadly.
I do plan to pick up 1-2 new pairs for this coming summer(a pair of suede penny loafers in some "fun" color and a nice pair of horsebit loafers in black leather would be awesome )

Cheers!

Loafers are my go to as well until we hit absolute hellheat, then I retreat into canvas.

I personally don't like canvas shoes, haven't owned a pair for years as often I find them very uncomfortable and they seem to fall apart from just looking at them wrong.

"Luckily" for us we get like 1 or 2 of those days per summer(if we are lucky lol), which is another reason why I can pass them up haha. But if I lived in Thailand, Australia or Brazil for example I'm sure my opinions would be different xD.

I have some, and low canvas converse, but they don't get as much use time as my good leather sandals do here in Spain, 300 days of sunshine oof haha
