Men's shoes by type, from the most formal to the most casual
Men's shoes are sorted here by style, from derbies and ankle boots for smart outfits to sneakers, sandals, and flip-flops for everyday wear. Identify the style of your outfit, then compare the brands in each section.
From the most formal to the most casual
- Derbies and brogues: smooth or textured leather, for the office and special occasions.
- Ankle boots and boots: Chelsea, boat ankle boots or winter boots.
- Loafers: slip-ons, from jeans to tailored trousers.
- Sneakers: retro running from Mizuno, Saucony, Asics and Karhu, with lower styles from Puma and Autry.
- Sandals and flip-flops: summer and the beach.
Care based on style
A smooth leather derby should be brushed and polished regularly to maintain its shape. A suede ankle boot needs waterproofing, while a canvas sneaker just requires a simple dry brush.
Always let a wet pair dry in the air, away from radiators that can crack the leather.
Which style for which outfit?
- Suit or tailored trousers: a derby or leather loafer.
- Raw denim: a Chelsea boot or a boat shoe.
- Shorts and summer outfits: a sandal or a low sneaker.
A pair of solid leather sneakers bridges these styles, from smart casual at work to weekend wear.
