Whether you're looking for something comfortable to wear while you're out and about or something a bit more fashionable to impress at the office, it can be difficult to weed through all of the options. And regardless of style, you want to make sure that you invest in a pair that will last. Especially if you live in a cosmopolitan city where you do plenty of walking, consider your shoe purchase to be more of an investment, rather than a purchase.
Men, in particular, are hard on their shoes—often opting for comfortable pairs that can be worn over and over again. In recent years men’s footwear has undergone a shift away from stringent rules of sartorial etiquette. Today, sneakers are no longer just for the gym and good dress shoes aren’t only made in Italy. The days of buying the same pair of dress shoes are gone as every fashion and footwear brand takes on something slightly unexpected. And there are plenty of styles to choose from. It's a far cry from your father's era where it was either loafers or oxfords. Now, there are plenty of styles that transition from work meetings to hanging out with friends after work.
So instead of opting for the same old pair, consider spicing up your wardrobe with a fresh pair of kicks that will make you feel good, while also supporting you. Whether it be a pair of stylish loafers with a traditional touch or fashion-forward sneakers, it's important to weight function versus fashion. From platform chelsea boots to patchwork sneakers, we’ve put together a list of the most lust-worthy men's designer shoes on the market.
