5 Rules of Wearing Men's Shoes

• Contrary to popular belief, real men do care
  about their looks, which is why many guys
  nowadays spend a considerable amount of money on
  quality men's shoes. Today, the topic of having
  more than a pair of footwear is no longer taboo
  for guys. Because you'll need the right shoe for
  every occasion, you'll need to invest in several
  pairs to make sure the fashion police won't come
  anywhere near you.

• Meanwhile, if you have absolutely no idea on how
  to buy the right pair of footwear, don't worry.
  All you have to do is base your decision on the
  gathering that you'll be attending. Dress shoes
  are for events or get-togethers that require you
  to wear a suit. Casual footwear is for events
  that you can attend while wearing a pair of jeans
  or khakis. You can simply choose your shoes
  according to the shirt and pants that you will be
  wearing.

• No matter what the occasion is, your men's shoes
  should be a shade darker than your pants.
  Although there is no specific rule on wearing
  socks, they should serve as a nice bridge between
  your footwear and your pants. You wouldn't want
  to get caught wearing neon-coloured socks under
  your shiny Balmorals now would you? As for your
  belt, if you are required to wear one, make sure
  at least some tones match the tones of your
  kickers.

• Always spend the bulk of your money on footwear,
  not shirt or pants. According to fashion experts,
  your footwear should be the most expensive part
  of your wardrobe. If you can, try purchasing a
  pair of custom shoes. While they may be a bit
  pricey, customised footwear is unlike those that
  are mass-produced. Customised footwear are
  hand-crafted and made from only the best
  materials.

• When in doubt, go conservative instead of edgy,
  especially if you're attending a formal event.
  Unless you have what it takes to wear exotic
  men's shoes with pointed toes and are made from
  snakeskin or alligator skin, then it is best that
  you stick to those with a more conventional and
  widely accepted design.

• Wearing dirty men's shoes is a huge fashion
  faux-pas. Even if you are donning the most
  expensive footwear in the world, people would
  approach you like a gazelle would do to a lion if
  you're wearing a grimy footwear. So unless you
  want people to avoid you like the plague, clean
  and polish your kicks before you go out and
  mingle.
