How To Pick The Perfect Pair Of Men’s Shoes

Choosing a pair of shoes is a lot harder than people think, and it’s important that you get it right. The wrong pair of shoes can leave you with sore feet at the end of the day, and you need to make sure that they match your outfits as well. If you aren’t sure where to start when buying a pair of men’s shoes, here are a few things to consider. 

Do You Know Your Size? 

This seems like a strange question and most people assume that they do know their size. However, it’s not just a single number that you need to know. Even though you might know the basic size, do you know whether you need a broad shoe or a narrow one? Do you need more space near the toes or something that tapers at the end? Everybody has a slightly different shape to their foot, and it’s important that you find shoes that match your shape if you want them to be comfortable. It’s best to get your feet measured up by a professional and take their advice on the kind of shoe that you need. 

Consider The Weather 

Next, you need to think about the weather and find shoes that are suitable. When the weather is warm, a nice pair of boat shoes are perfect. They allow your feet to breathe and they work well as part of a casual outfit. 

However, a pair of boat shoes won’t last long in the winter when it’s pouring with rain. You’ll need to find a pair of good quality men’s waterproof shoes to get you through the winter. If you can find some breathable shoes that are still waterproof, that’s ideal because you can wear them all year round. 

Find The Right Materials

Picking the right material is important, and it all depends on when you are planning to wear the shoes. For example, if you want something for everyday casual wear, it’s fine to go for some basic fabric shoes. However, if you want something that works well for formal occasions, you’ll need to look for a good quality leather. When you are choosing materials, consider the weather as well because leather and suede are not going to do too well in the rain. 

Pick The Right Colors

Finally, you need to make sure that you pick the right color of shoe. When you are deciding on a color, think carefully about the clothes that you are going to pair with it because, if you pick something too bold, you won’t be able to wear it with that many outfits. Black is the most versatile color and it’s great for formal outfits, but it’s not as effective for a casual look. Light brown is a great color for casual outfits, and a brown leather also works well as part of a formal outfit. If you want to introduce a bit more color, it’s best to go for a two tone shoe so you can balance it. 

Follow these basic steps when choosing shoes and you’ll be able to pick the perfect pair.
