The summer is a tricky time for men because it's not easy to find a pair of shoes to wear with shorts. Flip flops are the standard shoe of choice, but if you're not going for a run or to the gym, wearing athletic shoes with socks and shorts is a little awkward. So that's when city sneakers come in to play. With city sneakers, you can wear shorts in the summer and look very stylish. Your flip flops are no longer your one trick pony in the summer. Take a look at this huge collection of sneakers and find the perfect pair or two to keep you fashionable this summer without compromising style or comfort.

Take for example the ECCO Urbanity Tie sneaker. With a distressed and oiled suede upper, this shoe has a sporty look and the rich, breathable leather lining raises your comfort factor and keeps you dry and cozy all summer long. With a lightweight polyurethane sole that absorbs impact and gives flexibility, durability and traction, you can't go wrong with this choice from ECCO. The comfort fiber system with this sneaker gives you a leather-covered and removable insole that conforms to the shape of your foot for support. Worn with shorts, capris or even jeans, you'll look like a million, no, a trillion bucks this summer.

A sneaker that's all about performance and dependability is the North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR shoe. It protects your feet from bad weather conditions and still looks fabulous in any season. Head to the trails or go for a hike, regardless of the weather. It's an all terrain running shoe and is a great option for those travelers who can afford to take only one shoe with them on their expedition to Europe or their quest to discover new lands out East. The new lacing system on these sneakers gives a custom-fitting feel and the construction on these puppies keeps them looking brand new, even when you've just come back from an awe-inspired hike.

For a European flavor, check out the Vera Cruz shoe from Hi-Tec. With a suede and mesh upper and featuring a moisture-wicking lining, these are great substitutes for sandals or flip flops when the temperature really starts to climb. From New Orleans to Florence, these shoes can withstand any temperature, thanks to this impressive lining. While your feet are staying cool, this sporty sneaker features an outsole that's built from carbon rubber, which gives you amazing multi-directional traction and durability. The molded EVA midsole keeps you feel tre bien, while the styling on this shoe keeps you tre chic.

Take your personality out onto the city streets while wearing the Timberland Front Country Slip On shoe. This casual shoe for men has a full grain leather or suede upper that has perforations for great breathability and also features elastic panels for a great and secure fit. The 50 percent recycled mesh lining and footbed get rid of moisture, keeping you cool and dry and also allowing you to feel good about keeping the Earth green. An anti-fatigue technology on these Timberlands gives comfort and long-lasting support. The Front Country Slip On shoe has Gripstick rubber outsole for great traction. Wear these shoes with khakis and a t-shirt for a casual but sporty look all summer or spring long.
