5 Footwear Styles Every Man Should Own

Every man needs at least one formal pair of shoes in their wardrobe. But whether you wear them on a daily basis, or a couple of times a year to the occasional wedding or formal event, it can be tricky to know which style to go for.
They say if you want to judge a man look at his shoes, which is why your shoe game needs to be strong. Here are 5 quintessential shoes that every man should have in his closet for year-round wear. 

The Chelsea Boot

Winter calls for a boot that can withstand the weather and still look the part. A black leather Chelsea boot is the perfect choice for the cold months. Handcrafted and built to last, it is a classic style with versatility.

The 'Jordan' is a leather Chelsea boot, cut to hit above the ankle and will mix effortlessly into your workweek and weekend wardrobes. Leather signals luxury and is often chosen for its smart, durable qualities. Influencer @suitup.sulit has styled his Jordan Leather Chelsea Boots with a tailored suit the perfect weekday or weekend look. Shop the look. 

Smart Sneakers

A luxury take on a basic sneaker, from street-casual to smart-casual not to mention a master of comfort. A formal sneaker can up-grade any outfit. One trend that’s showing no signs of slowing down is the suit and sneaker combination. Two of the most masculine items that work in harmony if styled correctly.
The Tristan Sneaker is cut from smooth leather and soft suede, featuring a padded collar for additional ankle support and XL Extralight® insoles. 
Style the Tristan with a sharp, crisp suit. Keep the pants slim-fit and cut right at the ankle. If you want to make more of a statement, try contrasting color palettes. For example, the Tristan Black Leather Sneaker pairs well with a light slim-fitting grey suit. Shop the look. 

The Loafer

The Loafer is a classic footwear style that stands the test of time, which is why every man should own a pair. Looking back over the years there is not a fashion icon, be it man or woman, whose closet has not included a pair of loafers. A staple addition, the loafer can rise to any occasion.
The important question is whether to wear socks or not. This may be weather dependent. We also recommend getting a pair of loafer liners to slip in the bottom of your loafer, giving the sock-less impression without needing to do so. This brings the added bonus of preventing excess sweating, odor and also helps prevent shoes from rubbing.  
The Brighton Bourbon Leather Venetian Loafer pairs nicely with a sharp black suit. Keep your loafers looking brand new by buffing and polishing regularly, maintaining a sharp, sleek look. Shop the look. 

The Monk Strap


How do you define the double monk strap? A traditional but fashion-forward style, the most noticeable feature being that it is lace-less. A minimalistic but sophisticated style and commonly referred to as the ‘most advanced’ dress shoe.
The Gordon Rush collection of double monk straps feature brushed brass buckles and a clean profile. Wear them with a sharply tailored suit or pair up with a casual dinner jacket. They also team well with a distressed pair of jeans. The collection comes in a rich color palette of brown’s and black’s made from smooth Italian leather. Shop the look. 

Lace-Ups

The Gordon Rush Lace-up collection has a variety of styles to compliment a relaxed or refined style. Featuring a modern design with a focus on functionality. Simple, timeless shapes that can adapt to any look.
