Shoe Guide For Men The first thing anyone notices about you is your shoes making it the focal point of your outfit. Since your shoes tell a lot about you, it's important that you pick it correctly and make that accessory of your outfit a perfect one. The classic dress shoes such as Oxfords, Derbies and Bluchers aren’t seasonal and one way to give them a special pop in the summer months is by adding a little sprezzatura to them with colourful laces. Moreover, you can keep your daily toiletries kit ready with the HE deo while you are preparing for the day with the perfect shoes. Here is a list of best shoes every man should have -


Boat shoes One of the easiest shoes to just slip on and go. Just avoid wearing a popped-collar polo at the same time. Quintessentially preppy, the boat shoe is arguably one of the most prominently seen casual shoes in summer resort towns. Originally designed as practical footwear for sailing, they became a staple in the wealthier North-eastern beach communities before making their way across the United States and around the world. Today, boat shoes are found on the feet of gentlemen who parade down the boardwalk or streets in summer as a rakish flip of the bird to their usual business attire and the man — much as the Ivy Leaguers did in the 60s with clothing. Worn generally without socks, boat shoes are typically made from leather, suede or even canvas, and they utilize a non-slip sole with water-resistant uppers and a unique lacing system. Before you hit the shoe rack do use the best perfumes for men and be ready for the day.


Loafers Just watch Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief and you'll understand why loafers are the perfect summer shoe. There are a number of different styles of loafers which give gentlemen a nice range to choose from based on their attire that day. Many men often misconstrue the loafer as being any slip-on shoe or driving moc, but in fact, they are in a league of their own. The best thing about the loafer is that it provides a cool summer look that can work with both casual and business-appropriate apparel. This makes it one of the most versatile shoes in the summer collection and a must-have shoe for men. Available in both leather and in suede, there are a variety of styles such as the penny loafer, the Gucci loafer, and the tassel loafer, which is perfect for business attire. Opt for HE Deo and be on point!


Espadrilles The ultimate chill-out shoe. Best when paired with a linen suit and a cool rum cocktail. Once considered an inexpensive shoe for the common labourer, espadrilles originated in the Pyrenees, although they were also worn for decades in Mallorca, Spain. Today, they are a stylish summer shoe that has found its way from Spain to North America. A flat and flexible shoe, they are usually made from canvas or cotton upper with a defining sole made of jute rope. They really vary in style but are always very casual. Exceptionally popular in Europe, they first became mainstream in North America in the 1980s, their popularity due to being seen in Miami Vice. Today, many designers produce them, and they can be found for just a few dollars to upwards of thousands depending on the brand and craftsmanship.


Desert Boots When it comes to hot-weather shoes, these have it right in the title. Originally made for British soldiers in the desert, the desert boot is a menswear stalwart that can be dressed up or down, and worn with or without socks. Pretty much the perfect all-around summer shoe. Do use the best perfumes for men and show off the perfect look.
