Best of the City 2013: slip-on leisure shoes that are way more stylish than Toms

Rivieras has been churning out these perforated slip-ons for years, selling them mainly to a clientele of laid-back Europeans and a niche North American following. But this year, they seem to be everywhere. The canvas and cotton are the highest quality, and the leather-lined soles will weather Toronto’s pavement just as well as the beaches these kicks were named after. From $85.
