The
modern man is a style conscious being with the highest regard to personal style
and quality clothing and accessories. Some follow the most recent fashion trends, whereas others like to
stay in their long standing comfort zone. According to a well-known saying
‘men are recognized by the kind of shoes they wear’. Men like
fashion shoes, and in many cases,
the shoes actually do speak for their personality. If you take a look at a few
men on the street and consider their shoes, you will note that those wearing
dressy shoes with suits are most likely working within an corporate environment
while those with comfortable casual shoes are often from more casual working
environments. Needless to say, if someone wears work boots, they are obviously
blue collar workers or those who provide physical labour.
As
it is evident, your shoes will reflect a little bit about you and your
lifestyle: what type of job you are doing, your personal style and your level
of income. Aside from what you portray to the world, there are a few important
considerations that men will have to look into when they select shoes.
Build a simple selection
Although
women tend to buy more shoes than they actually wear, it is rarely the case
with men. In which case, it is very important to build up a selection that is
both simple and functional. In other words, go for function and quality, not
for quantity.
Choose
proper fitting shoes
It
doesn’t matter what your job, lifestyle or personal style is unless your shoes
fit you perfectly. No matter what you do all day, shoes that don’t fit properly
will be uncomfortable and will lead to a range of health problems including
foot and back pain. Look for a fit that is not too tight or too lose for the most
comfort. Anything that is too lose will cause walking difficulties while
anything too tight will cause pain. If you have especially large or small feet,
look into getting custom fitted shoes for the highest comfort.
It's
rather sensible to follow or to
want to follow the latest trends.
However, not all trends work for
everyone and everyone’s lifestyle. If you like the flashy look and it doesn’t
interfere with your work or lifestyle, we say go for it! If you’re looking to
combine comfort with functionality, be sure to give the highest priority to
that for the best results. If you’re looking for shoes for a simple night out
go for a simple shirt
and throw a blazer with dress shoes or dressy loafers for a
complete look.
