Practical and Fashionable Style Guide for Men’s Shoes

Men’s fashion has been grabbing eyeballs globally with the new and old styles that are transforming into mainstream trends as men are becoming more fashion-forward. In their endeavor to become more stylish, a lot of men end up wearing the wrong pair of trousers or shoes.  

Men’s footwear has been scrutinized by the fashion police as it is very easy to go wrong with their shoes. On one hand, there is the style factor and on the other, there is comfort, both of which have to be borne in mind. We all know that comfortable shoes are a little towards the uglier side (unfortunately), whereas those stylish shoes kill your feet when worn for a few hours. How do we find the perfect balance of style and comfort and where?

Do not lose hope as we are here to guide you to the best shoes for men. We will also educate you on the basic features of a great pair of men’s shoes. So let’s get started. 

•  The basic idea is to be comfortable, which will reflect as confidence in the way you carry yourself. If the tapered end of your favorite shoes squeeze the life out of you, then just ditch them and take to something much more comfortable with ample toe room like men’s wooden clogs.

•  Always keep in mind the toe spring, which is the space between the toes and the ground. Ideally, the toe spring should be enough to fit in a pencil, right beneath the toe. The toe spring lets you move forward naturally in the process of walking by projecting the feet forward for the next step. It is very important for the pronation of the feet. 

• Most shoemakers disregard toe spring and make completely flat, razor sharp shoes that look good but prolonged wear can cause plantar fasciitis. Anatomically designed shoes like men’s wooden clogs have sufficient toe spring that doesn’t compromise with the aesthetics of these shoes.

• The last shape should complement the arch of the wearers’ feet. While some men are flatfooted, some have a prominent arch and some men have neutral feet which are considered ideal. Men’s wooden clogs have an orthopedically correct footbed carved out of alder wood for optimum arch support for all feet types in men.
