It has long been believed that shoes are a man's appearance, so it should not only be beautiful, but also clean, well-groomed. For example, a woman dressed with a needle and hung with diamonds, the entire image can spoil the groomed hands with peeling varnish. And a man must have impeccable shoes. Even if the guy has crumpled jeans and a T-shirt with a wiped pattern, the shoes should shine. This moment must be taken into account, going on a date, a business meeting or an interview.
First and foremost, it is necessary to take into account the style of clothing, otherwise - the image of a man will be disturbed by such seemingly small things as footwear.
Classical style of clothing:
- Under the classic costume it is worth buying only strict shoes.
- Light gray, white and beige suits are combined with shoes in the same color scheme.
- Only black shoes are suitable for a black suit.
- The gray and blue costume is suitable for shoes black, Burgundy and brown.
- A brown suit only accepts shoes in tone or burgundy.
- Oxford, derby - a kind of strict men's shoes, which are different lacing. At Oxford it is closed, and at the derby - open. Classical Oxfords are made of black, less often - brown leather, can be matte, glossy and lacquer( exclusively for tuxedo).
Important! Manufacturers often experiment, so now you can meet this type of shoes also from suede.
- Brogi are derby or Oxford with perforation along the toe and along the seams. Traditionally, the brogues are made of brown leather. They can be worn not only with strict suits, but also with jeans, trousers of chinos.
Important! Brogue - penetration of decorative holes in the skin. Brogues borrowed aristocrats from Irish farmers, who thus struggled with excess moisture in their shoes.
- Another kind of elegant shoes - monk. Their difference is that they are decorated with buckles. These shoes are not very strict, so it is perfectly combined with both the casual costume and the kazhual style clothing.
Casual wear:
- For walking, nature, under casual clothes, you can pick moccasins, snipers, slips, espadrilles, topsiders.
- Sandals will suit the heat.
- Unofficial but stylish shoes are recognized as loffers. They do not have laces or fasteners. The shape is similar to moccasins, only have a heel and a thicker sole. Lophers can be worn without socks, so it is advisable to buy leather.
- Topsiders - comfortable shoes with a white rubber sole, originally invented for yachtsmen.
- Moccasins, espadrilles, siphons are made of canvas, linen, cotton, sometimes - soft leather. They are worn without socks for everyday clothes, breeches and shorts.
Sportswear
For men's jogging and sports, men choose, of course, sneakers, tennis sneakers, sneakers. In specialized stores every season new models of sports shoes are exhibited.

In order not to be mistaken in quality, shoes need not only be seen on the picture, but also to measure, touch, consider the material, seams, soles, and resemble a little in it. If the shoes are uncomfortable, walking in it will turn your day into flour. Therefore, our recommendation - to buy shoes only after fitting, especially winter and demi-season. To buy shoes in online stores, of course, you can, but if this is your years-proven brand, whose sewing patterns are always right for you and you know the exact size.
Important! An exception can be made for such species as slates, flip flops, open sandals. Here, the finger and the heel do not rest, so the most important thing is to guess with the size.
So, we come to the store to choose the best men's shoes:
- Naturally, we start with the size.
Important! In order not to be mistaken, shoes should be measured in the afternoon, when the leg is slightly swollen. If you buy in the morning, then later it may be tight. Especially it concerns shoes and shoes.
- Next, after fitting, thoroughly examine the appearance of the pair being purchased.
- Winter boots, demi-season shoes, lofers, moccasins - it is more practical to buy from leather.
Important! If you doubt whether it's skin, put fingers to it. The skin will become a little warm, and the substitute will remain cool to the touch.
Materials
To understand for yourself which men's shoes are better, you need to know what materials it is sewn at all. Here are the options:
- Pig skin - the most budget option. It is thick and porous, because of this it looks gruff and gets wet faster.
- Veal leather is the best option. It is thinner than pork, elastic and very wear-resistant.
- Goat's skin is thin, but the shoes look gorgeous. Most of the goat skin is made of shoes "on the way out."
- Suede also looks beautiful, but does not like moisture and dirt, and also requires careful and careful care.
Important! There are also firms that sew in small batches of shoes made from reptile skin and even some fish species, but this is a separate issue requiring detailed consideration.
What distinguishes quality footwear, what should I look for?
- The leather or fabric should be painted in a qualitative and uniform manner, without cracks, scratches, wrinkles, creases.
- There should be no blurred boundaries at the joints of the parts. Stitches should be even, stitches are continuous, without protruding threads.
- The sole should be firm, made of practical material, flexible.
- The pair of shoes should not have a sharp unpleasant chemical smell.
- Nails and other fastenings should not protrude through the insole, you do not have to dig into the folds, thick seams and other irregularities.
- Heels also need to be flat and the same.
- Do not forget to inspect the accessories - rivets, buckles, holes for the laces and the laces themselves.
Important! If you consider all these characteristics, it becomes clear that cheap quality shoes can not cost. Therefore, if you are offered in the store supposedly high-quality leather pair of shoes for a ridiculous price( share, sale), you should be alerted. Do not be lazy to check all of its characteristics.
If you are willing to fork out and buy a decent pair, then go to the store with brand shoes.

Winter and demi-season shoes, as we said, it is better to buy after careful fitting. Even if you know your size, the templates from different firms are different, and sometimes significantly.
Important! If we talk about inexpensive Chinese shoes, then the size may not coincide.
What are the properties of good men's shoes:
- The ideal pair for the cold season should be made of leather. How to distinguish the skin from forgery, smooth seams, the quality of painting - see above.
- Now the sole: in a winter pair, it should be thick and have a relief so that you do not freeze and do not slip on the ice. Also, it should be elastic, not oak, so that you can walk comfortably.
- Separately, pay attention to insulation. It is desirable - that it was a natural sheepskin. Then the feet will be warm, in addition, natural fur - breathing. Artificial fur quickly loses volume and tramples down. In addition, it poorly passes air and has a low hygroscopicity, so the legs will freeze and sweat. Subsequently, shoes will quickly lose their appearance, and you will constantly struggle with the unpleasant odor emanating from them, and legs at the same time.
