Father’s Day Gift Ideas: A Toe-to-Head Gift Guide

Jun 8, 2022

Here’s to the king of the grill, master of the lawn and lord of the dad jokes. June is all about celebrating dear old Dad, and while homemade cards and kids’ artwork are nice, get him what he really wants this Father’s Day — an outfit that slaps, complete with Father’s Day shoes and accessories … and maybe a nap, too. Here are a few Father’s Day gift ideas to help fete the guy who holds the fam together:

Sea Shoes

Where do boats go when they get sick? To the doc. We guarantee Pops will love a pair of Hey Dude Wally Funks, whether he actually owns a boat, loves deck shoe fashion or just enjoys a bad dad joke. These seriously comfortable Father’s Day shoes can be tossed in the wash, they’re flexible, foldable — and they just plain look good. 

On the Clock

Don’t delay! If you usually find dad headed to The Home Depot with a list and a purpose, then make sure he has a solid timepiece on his wrist to make sure he’s in, out and tackling that next DIY project well before lunchtime. This Father’s Day, give him a classic Columbia watch to keep tabs on the day. Choose from a variety of watch faces and band options that fit his personal style.

World’s Best Shades

Does he spend plenty of time fertilizing the lawn or coaching the kids’ various sports? Hook him up with a pair of polarized Oakley sunglasses. If he was a ’90s kid, he most def had a pair of the ever-popular shades back then. Not totally sure of his sunnies style? You’ll never miss with a pair of classic Ray-Ban sunglasses. For serious snatched style, let him protect those peeps with the cool blues, rosy pinks and vibrant yellows of King Ice lenses.

Sandals, No Socks

Get him some Birkenstock sandals for summer. They hit all the dad marks: The footbed provides contoured support that conforms to his foot. He can wear them with jeans, shorts, swim trunks and more. They also pass the quality vibe check with their cork and leather materials. Five stars, chef’s kiss, definitely dad-approved.

Polos for Pops

Want dad to stop embarrassing you with his dad style? Wrap up a polo shirt. He can wear it to the ballpark, school awards ceremonies, barbecues, graduations — you name it. Give him a classic PGA TOUR polo, pick out a fashion-forward AKOO version or choose a Nike Dri-FIT polo.

Dress Dad in Denim

Wrap up the jeans and denim shorts he wants this Father’s Day, whether he’s a Levi’s guy, a Born Fly father or a Dickies dad. Choose from a wide range of denim styles, fits and washes that match his interests and preferences.

The Ultimate Dad Gift

You knew we had to throw in one classic dad shoe, right? Go with a pair of New Balance 2002R or New Balance 992 in white, brown or other tone that matches Pops’ personality. If you want a solid runner that really supports his arches and alleviates his plantar fasciitis, you can’t go wrong with a Brooks Adrenaline GTS series shoe for dad.
