most suitable men's shoes for every occasion

 

Have you ever heard someone talk about the "pants-to-shoe ratio"? While this expression explicitly speaks to how your pants hang at your ankle at first glance, shoes play an essential role in making a great first impression on your peers. There are some unwritten but basic rules regarding the best shoes for men. You can wear simple jeans and a t-shirt, but your shoes will make or break any outfit. This is where we come in. 

Fortunately, from winter through spring and beyond, we have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the vibrant outdoors while upping your style game with a new pair of shoes. From the perfect bike shoes to some of the most expensive, we've rounded up the best teams of shoes to include in your wardrobe this year and beyond, as each pair deserves to become your go-to shoe for any occasion. 

Bozeman Shoes by Rhodes

working boot

Initially made for factory and war workers, the work boot became a fashion staple but never lost its function. The following options live up to their name, offering steel stems, carbon fibre tips, and long-lasting durability. Whether working in the field or not, every man should own a great pair of work boots. After all, this is the point of any investment. 

Huckberry's Rhodes footwear line continues to blend the perfect balance of hard-working style, understated style, and of course, functionality. This peep-toe pair looks good with duty canvas work pants and skinny blue jeans.

If these work boots are good enough for offshore fishermen, they can handle your daily demands. Plus, the exclusive Huckberry hint of camouflage and orange adds a nice touch of elegance and increased visibility.

Classic Red Wing Heritage loafer

Emboldened by fashion retailers like Madewell, Red Wing has a rich heritage. This particular style dates back to 1952 and has since become one of the most popular shoe styles in the country. The fit becomes more and more customizable over time, so expect it to be a little snug at first, with a little breathing room that will loosen eventually.
