Fashion Shoes and other Style Tips for Men

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.

 Pick the right trends to follow

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.
