Fashionable men's shoes
Despite the fact that women are considered the main fashionistas, a strong half of humanity also loves to dress stylishly and beautifully. Shoes for many men - a very important element of the wardrobe, which should always be in perfect condition. And women, in turn, according to the state of footwear, men can determine his character.
Features and benefits
Fashion models and types
The taste and color - no friends. The presence of a huge amount of shoes of different types, styles and colors suggests that men like completely different models of shoes. In order to maintain a leading position in the market, designers are constantly trying to surprise their customers with new products in the world of fashionable men's shoes.
Brogues
Many are accustomed to the fact that men wear shoes of concise design, without unnecessary details. Brogues are considered very extravagant men's shoes. They are cropped shoes with a protruding heel. The main element of the brogues is perforation on the toe and along the seams. The sock is also most often decorated with “wings” that separate the two parts of the boot.
At its core, brogues are not even a separate type of shoe, but a way to decorate a shoe. But, nevertheless, they are immediately distinguished from other types of shoes.
Derby
Despite this unusual name, the derby is familiar to all shoes with open laces. Their side parts are superimposed on the front, which, in turn, are one with the tongue.
Derbies are more familiar shoes for men. In addition, these shoes are considered versatile, as they can be worn with classic clothes or in combination with casual style. The color range of shoes is quite diverse - from classic shades to too bright and unusual.
Waterproof
In the season of changeable weather, which is inherent in most regions of Russia now, it is very important to be sure that the feet will remain dry under any circumstances.
Waterproof shoes are a trend for several seasons, so many brands emphasize that their shoes do not get wet. There are several types of waterproof shoes. One of the most popular and most modern methods of protection is the manufacture of shoes using gore tex technology. Because of this, the shoe gets an additional membrane layer that does not let moisture through.
Military
The military style, or military, has been used for many years in creating shoe collections. As a rule, shoes of this style are elongated models with laces from the toe to the very end of the shoes. The footwear has a thick corrugated sole from thick rubber.
Dutiki
Dutiki have long been considered the warmest winter shoes, so they are very popular with men. They are boots, the top of which is made of thick bolonevoy fabric, and the lining is made of artificial fur or sheepskin.
And here is the mistaken opinion that artificial fur is not capable of warming properly. Due to the fact that the bolon's fabric does not allow air and moisture, heat accumulates and is stored inside the shoe. Boots of this type are well suited for a wet winter.
Wedding
Everyone knows how long the girls are preparing for the wedding. But men are preparing for it no less. Fashionable and comfortable wedding shoes are an important element of the image. Of course, those who decide to hold their celebration in the warmer months are much easier to choose a wardrobe than those whose wedding fell in the winter.
In this case, wedding shoes should be warm, but should not look cumbersome. That is why shoes of this type are made of genuine leather using a thin lining of natural fur. In such shoes, the future husband will feel comfortable, and frozen feet will not spoil the impression of the holiday.
Membrane
Membrane fabric is a true innovation in the creation of many types of clothing and footwear. Its advantage is that it practically does not let in cold air, as a result of which a thermos effect appears. In addition, this fabric is not blown and waterproof.
Men's shoes with a membrane lining do not have additional insulation, the need for which disappears. Despite the fact that these boots do not have the usual fur, they are very warm and well suited for men who lead an active lifestyle.
Low
Low men's shoes can be of two types: sport and classic. The first type is very reminiscent of sneakers that can be worn during the cold season. Unlike normal sports shoes, these shoes have a softer sole, which does not stiffen and does not slip on the snow.
The second type of shoes resembles classic shoes and is suitable for those who prefer business style in clothes. This footwear is perfectly combined with classic trousers, and it is almost impossible to distinguish it from shoes.
Cowboy
The cowboy style, which originated in the West and was practically national, gradually appears in Europe and the CIS countries. Cowboy boots are considered extraordinary shoes that are suitable for special occasions and themed events. But more and more you can meet men who use this style as an everyday.
Designers try to create cowboy-style boots that can be worn every day with familiar casual wear. Of course, such shoes are not analogous to Western ones, but still very similar to them.
Brutal
The brutal style of shoes is a rather vague concept, as each has its own brutality. The most important thing is that the style of the shoes harmonizes well with the rest of the clothes. For many, brutal boots are associated with suede shoes of marsh or olive color. As a rule, these boots have thick soles and laces.
But men should be careful when choosing such shoes. Boots of this style should be worn with wide trousers, but not flared. In addition, these shoes are suitable only for owners of tall and dense stature.
Frogs
Frogs are a shoe style that combines leather shoes and rubber boots. The lower part is rubberized, and the top is made of genuine leather. Boots look quite interesting due to such an unusual combination of materials.
Frogs are ideal for wet weather, when puddles occupy all the space. Such shoes are a great opportunity to plunge into childhood and run through puddles, without fear of wetting your feet. Boots are considered very stylish and look expensive, thanks to the leather upper.
Colors
What colors of shoes do men prefer? As always, classic colors remain in fashion: black, gray, dark blue and brown. But, so that it was not so boring, olive, pistachio and marsh are added to these shades.
The most courageous representatives of the strong half can afford orange shoes, which will cheer up those around them and the shoe owner himself.
Materials
Leather
Genuine leather is one of the most preferred shoe materials for men's shoes. This is not surprising, since the skin has wear-resistant qualities, it is easy to care for, and it allows you to maintain the status of a business and serious man.
Genuine leather shoes remain the most popular among men, despite the huge variety of shoes from other materials.
Suede
Suede - a very moody material that requires special constant care. Due to their employment, men simply do not have time to properly care for suede shoes.
Most often men's suede shoes are designed for special occasions. It is difficult to argue with the fact that these shoes look very stylish and elegant in combination with a classic suit and belt in color.
Cloth
The fashion for everything simple and affordable is gradually returning. Cloth shoes are a variant of the Russian footwear, which was popular in the nineties.
Cloth boots are great for dry, frosty winters. They are as warm as national boots, but are considered more comfortable. The boots have a rubber sole and a lock in the front or side. Modern cloth boots are made with a thick sole, which allows them to better keep warm.
Felted
Felted boots, or felt boots, are considered to be genuine Siberian shoes. Since ancient times, felt boots are the warmest winter shoes, which again gains a leading position in the footwear market.
Modern men's boots are very similar to shoes, have a shortened design and a zipper.
How to choose
The choice of men's shoes is a very responsible and painstaking event. Men are much more fastidious than women in choosing their wardrobe.
First of all, shoes should be comfortable and of high quality. Pay attention to the presence of a stitched sole, if it is not a classic shortened model.
For each case, you can pick up your pair of shoes. Naturally, you will not wear dutik or felt boots to work in the office.
Boots of large sizes are more often sold in specialized stores, and their range is much smaller.
What to wear
Different types and styles of shoes are designed for different life situations and different types of clothing. For example, you will not dress quilts with a classic suit, as well as cowboy boots.
Jeans are often a universal element of the wardrobe that fits almost any shoe. But jeans are different too. It is better to wear dark jeans with classic boots, and blue ones will look good with cowboy boots.
