There’s a time, a place and a shoe for everything. Check out our list of shoes for every occasion.
Sleek Sophisticated
#1
These are your go-to leather lace-up dress shoes. Although we normally think of dress shoes in a formal manner, they don’t always have to be paired as such. Perfect or a day at the office or date night, a pair of black lace-ups or a Chelsea Boot can go with jeans, a suit or anything you want to add swag to.
Man of Many recommends Salvatore Ferragamo – Fedele Oxford, To Boot New York – Winston Oxford or Church’s – Ely Chelsea Boot.
Training Day
#2
Dripping in sweat isn’t the only way to look like you’re coming from the gym. A nice pair of Trainers can do the trick, just fine. Go athletic with your style and keep it casual with some sweats and a hoodie. Working out is optional.
Man of Many recommends Nike – Flyknit Lunar2, Saucony – Shadow 5000 or Nike – Air Zoom Wildhorse 2.
Casually Kickin’ It
#3
Looking for something to just wear with a pair of jeans on a lazy Sunday? Reach for a pair of sneaks. Jordans, Chucks or classic shell-toed Adidas are the go-to options for a casual jeans and a tee ensemble.
Man of Many recommends Vans – Era 59 C&L, Adidas – Gazelle 2.0 or Converse – Chuck Taylor.
Dress Up or Dress Down
#4
Dress Up or Dress Down: Give your “work shoes” a chance to see life outside the cubicle. Try something new! Throw on a pair of loafers the next time you go to the club for a twist on a classic style.
Man of Many recommends Quoddy – Camp Sole Bluchers, Carlos Santos – Acacia Penny Loafers or Wolverine – 1000 Mile Boot.
Beachcombing
#5
Those basic, rubber $1.99 flip flop are out as the shoe of choice for some fun in the sun. Class up your summer shoes with a bit of suede or leather. And if you absolutely can’t abandon flip-flops, fine. Just invest a little more in a sturdy pair.
Man of Many recommends Birkenstock – Arizona, Cole Haan – Meyer or Havaianas Brasil.
