Separately from the rest of the clothing, men's shoes are the visual end point and receive a disproportionate amount of attention; although they cover only 5% of your body, they can account for more than 30% of the visual assessment. Perfect men's shoes are those that are both functional and stylish - by following these principles of footwear selection, this goal can be easily achieved.
Important principles to follow when choosing footwear
First of all, you should always wear the right shoes for the right occasion. Secondly, invest in quality, good shoes perfectly fit on the foot and give you the right comfort. In the long run, this investment pays for itself, as high-quality men's shoes are much less frequently replaced. Thirdly, you should never give up on the right fit and comfort, it is very important to buy the right size and shape of shoes. Fourthly, after choosing shoes, it is important that they are properly maintained, because perfectly matched shoes can be irreplaceable.
Choosing the right size and colour
You can measure the size at the store, but it can also be done in a simple way at home: when you put an empty A4 sheet on the floor, put on a sock that you usually wear in shoes you are planning to buy, then put your foot on paper and lean slightly forward so your knee is more protruding than your calf. Keep an eye on the outline of your foot, as the tip of the pen or pencil should stick to the sock and not be pushed out of the sock. Finally, use a ruler to draw straight lines that touch the most outer points on each side: front, back, right and left. Measure the foot between the two outermost points in length and width. The obtained result is precisely the dimensions of the feet, due to significant deviations in the sizes of various manufacturers of men's shoes, it is recommended to each time check the dimensions with the size table of the brand.
When it comes to colours, black shoes work well with navy blue, grey or black trousers. Brown shoes are best suited for light brown, brown, beige, green and other darker shades of earth. The burgundy shoes work well with khaki, lighter brown, blue and grey. Light brown shoes look great with lighter earth tones, blue, beige, lighter brown or white.
Selection of men's shoes for a given style
Not every model fits every style, so it is important to choose the right footwear for the rest of your wardrobe. You can wear almost any colour or style of shoe for jeans, but avoid very shiny shoes that are designed for more elegant outfits. Cossacks, sneakers, moccasins and sandals work great in combination with jeans, so it can be helpful to control the style of the shirt. For example, a sporty polo shirt can work well with moccasins, a T-shirt fits well with sneakers or retro boots, while long, artistic buttons fit well with sandals.
A lot of moccasins, oxford style shoes and others fit ordinary pants, so the choice is free - as long as the shoes are also in everyday style.
For elegant trousers it is best to choose shoes in the same style as when wearing a suit. Glossy materials tend to indicate more chic shoes, as well as smaller heels and soles. Choose footwear of the same color or darker than your pants, and if you wear a belt, match it with your shoes.
