Many form shoes are widely worn to place of work, dance or other other special formal events. Formal shoes usually come in black. But other colors could be grown, burgundy, oxblood, etc.

    • Yes, birkenstock, TEVA, Chaco and keen sandals too can go to the beach. But one thing about wearing shoes (I mean covered shoes) is that once you get sand into your leg, it becomes uncomfortable and you have to put off the shoes at interval to pour out the bucket of sand that is already in your shoes.
      So it is better to wear shoes that aren’t covered. For sandals or slippers, it is easy for movement around the beach and sands can go out by themselves. Thanks for the comment
