Sneakers

Today, Sneakers are everywhere, and some would say worn too much. I recommend owning a classic pair of low-top sneakers with a leather or suede upper.

Boots

Want to look like a tough guy? Of course you do. Service boots are a little old-fashioned But just because they’re old-fashioned looking doesn’t mean they’re out of style. Wearing boots needs Extra confidence

Loafers are the signature slip-on shoes of adulthood.

They’re a solid mix of high-end style, with that low-key desire to have a fun time.

Wing-Tip Brogues Shoes

There are many different types of brogues, but we would recommend going with a “Full Brogue” or “Wingtip,” as shown above. They will likely be one of your most often worn shoes, making them an easy choice for shoes every man should own.

Cap-Toe Balmoral Oxfords

A standard of menswear, the “Cap-Toe” Oxford, can be used in most professional situations. It distinguishes itself by the extra piece of leather added across the toe box.

The Trainers

Sometimes you need a shoe that’s easy to slip on and jet out the door. This is the kind of shoe you use to power through the tough days.

Of course, you don’t need to keep these sneaks relegated to the world of errands—paired with some Joggers, trainers can be the base of an amazing laid-back casual Saturday outfit, too.

Chukka boots

Chukka boots are simply designed and can range anywhere from supremely casual to dressy and formal.

When deciding which chukka you’re going to get, take a quick assessment of what your wardrobe needs.

Boat shoes

I recommend wearing boat shoes with shorts.

You can get away with wearing them with pants but make sure your pants have a taper of some sort at the bottom. Wearing boat shoes with boot-cut pants would look very strange.

Also, this is another shoe I recommend wearing without socks or with no-show liner socks.

Once broken in, Boat shoes form to your feet and become extremely comfortable to wear.
