Finding the Perfect Shoe

Whether you’re dressing for summer or fall, footwear is always important. Lisa Xing tells you everything you need to know about choosing a shoe to suit your style.

A solid pair of summer or fall shoes is always difficult to find. This is especially so for men because there just aren’t that many styles to begin with. This, paired with the fact that our feet do sweat a lot when it gets hot, and sometimes, socks are just plain uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the sock situation is hard to remedy, but there are a lot of comfortable styles that can keep your feet happy and relatively cool in the summer but are resilient enough to carry into fall. They may not be as airy are flip-flops, but they will keep you looking good when the temperature soars or plummets.

Moccasin-inspired
Moccasin styles of footwear look great on men. Don’t think about the traditional kind, but rather—look out for styles inspired by the traditional moccasin. They’re great for summer because you can easily slip them on and off. They are casual but not too casual that you can’t wear them to work. Typical moccasin colours are usually perfect in that they will match with almost anything, especially if you chose a cream or brown shoe. Look for ones with rubber soles that have grip. This makes them a lot easier to get on and off. They are perfect with summer shorts or khakis as and are always a hit with fall jeans, so feel free to keep these shoes around for months.
