Sometimes it can seem as though women get all the sartorial fun, particularly when it comes to footwear. It is not that one sided, really. There is a good deal of variety in mens shoes, and this is something many males are not aware of.
Called variously the sneaker, the runner, or the trainer, the most basic casual footwear is well known. These are very obviously popular among males. A lot of guys don’t realize that these aren’t the only things around.
If a more sophisticated footwear is required, a pair of dark Oxfords is usually a safe choice. With a low instep and simple, if any, embellishment, they can be worn almost anywhere. In general, the Oxford is considered an excellent starting point for those embarking on a quest for good formal footwear.
Should you wish to project a sense of casual formality, a pair of loafers may prove useful. Strapless, laceless, and without buckles, they invoke the comfortable lines of a slipper. The leather or suede, properly cared for, offsets this impression with its luxurious texture.
Similar in style to a loafer, the monk strap is another popular design for males. They slip on without laces, but they have a strap and buckle on the upper portion. They work well with nearly all outfits, from suit pants to blue jeans.
Once they start wearing more formal footwear on a regular basis, many guys decide to continue. Perhaps it is a symbol of a sort of transition into adulthood for them. Sneakers are strongly associated with teenagers and children.
They can be quite expensive, and sometimes it isn’t easy to justify spending a lot of money on something that won’t see much use. In truth, most mens shoes are extremely flexible apparel and can be appropriate in almost any scenario.
With the high rate that fashions change these days, it can be tough to stay on top of the latest styles. In particular, what’s new and impressive in women’s shoes seems to change in the blink of an eye. Luckily you can always count on Sketchers to offer comfortable, quality and (of course) stylish footwear.
