Oxford
The ultra-classic Oxford originated from Oxford England in the 1840s. It was to serve as a transition away from wearing boots and towards wearing shoes. During that period, many of the roads were bad which made it necessary to wear boots because of the mud. When the street conditions improved, Oxfords took over from the boots and became the preferred choice to be paired with suits. That what makes it the first choice for dress shoes that every trendy man should own.
Espadrilles
The Espadrilles is a shoe that molds to the shape of the foot easily which makes it a breathable shoe for your feet and also very comfortable and light on your feet.
Moccasins
Trendy, comfortable and great choice for driving. The moccasins are soft-soled shoes. The name moccasin comes from the Algonquian Powhatan word “makasin” and the Proto-Algonquian word “maxkeseni” which means shoe.
Bluchers
The Blucher (pronounced bloo-ker or bloo-cher) shoe has a military history. These shoes can be identified by the shoelaces tabs are stitched on top of the throat area of the shoe and also by its hockey stick shape of the lace tabs. These shoes are so versatile that they can be worn in almost any situation.
House Slippers
This goes without saying. Be it slides or flip flops, no mans should go around the house barefeet.
