Fashion is a topic that’s always in flux. Trends come and go, but some shoes always seem to remain stylish. Below we’ve rounded up the best men’s shoes available today and why they’re so popular.
Boots
Boots like men western boots are a stylish man’s best friend. They can be worn in the winter, but they’re also versatile enough to be worn with jeans, chinos, and slacks. You can wear them with your suit for an evening out on the town or even with a tuxedo. If you’re feeling adventurous, throw on a sport coat and you’ll look like James Bond straight from the 1960s (and everyone knows how awesome that era was).
Slip-On
A slip-on is a shoe that has no laces but instead is held on by a strap across the top of your foot. The main benefit of a slip-on shoe like this UGG men’s slippers that it’s easy to get on and off, which makes it great for days when you don’t want to worry about tying laces or untying them at the end of your day. They’re also great for days when you arrive late because slipping off your shoes before entering an office building is more courteous than leaving them in place while walking through the lobby on stocking feet with everyone watching (or worse: barefoot).
Slip-on can be worn with jeans or chinos, but they’re more appropriate when paired with a suit, you’ll find them most commonly in dark colors such as brown and black. And like other styles we’ve discussed above, they look best when matched properly: try pairing these shoes with casual shirts or dress shirts (not T-shirts) along with some nice trousers in charcoal gray, navy blue, or black. You might even want to invest in some socks if you want extra warmth!
Tennis Shoes
Tennis shoes are a great investment. They go with jeans, shorts, and suits (in other words: they’re perfect for any occasion). And if you wear them to the gym or on the court, you’ll also get a lot of use out of them there. A pair of tennis shoes like these tennis shoes in Australia can be worn in any casual or formal setting and they’re comfortable enough that you could even sleep in them.

The White Sneaker
It’s a classic and for good reason. The white sneaker can be worn with jeans or chinos in a casual setting; it can also be worn to the office with a suit and tie. At night, the same pair of shoes will easily transition from work to dinner and drinks without looking out of place in any setting. And if you have a closet full of shirts but are missing one thing? A white sneaker is your best bet for pairing with anything and making everything look better than it already did.
The versatility of this shoe makes it easy to see why every man should own at least one pair; they’re great as an everyday staple or as an alternative option for more formal occasions when dress shoes aren’t necessary (like when you’re going for drinks after work).
The Black Loafer
The black loafer is a classic shoe that every man should have in his wardrobe. The black loafer has a moccasin-like upper made of leather, suede, or other soft materials. It’s traditionally worn without socks, but you can choose to wear them with no-show socks if desired.

The dress boots are black and brown
Dress boots are a great choice for formal occasions. They’ve been worn by men (and women) for centuries, first as riding boots and then as part of their everyday attire. They can be worn with a suit or even casual clothing, and they come in both ankle-high heights and higher styles known as over-the-knee boots. A classic dress boot should feature leather or suede uppers, laces up the front, and buckles at the sides. Some dress shoes have more ornate details like decorative stitching patterns on their uppers, while others are simple enough to complement any outfit you want to pair them with.
The casual boots
Casual boots are a must-have for any guy who doesn’t want to compromise style for comfort. With the right pair of casual boots, you can easily transition from work to dinner or drinks with friends, and back again if necessary. They’re also a great go-to when you need something comfortable but stylish to wear with jeans or chinos and a shirt in case your plans change at the last minute.
Casual boots are versatile enough that they can be worn on their own in cold weather (or even while traveling), but they aren’t so slouchy as to look out of place at an office party or dressy event either. And best of all, as long as you make sure your pants/jeans fit properly around your ankles (and don’t have cuffs), it won’t matter what kind of pants you’re wearing under them—they’ll still look good.
