Men have the option of the traditional lace-ups such as oxfords, brogues, capped toes, wing tips, or slip-ons. The laced shoe is the most professional shoe for men in business and dressier than the slip-on. In fact, the laced shoe is considered by many to be the only option when wearing a business suit, especially in the most traditional professions.<\/p>
Slip-on shoes should be simple in style and of top quality leather. For business in general, avoid styles that have a lot of details, any metal branding or design motifs. The simple tassel style is recommended only for men working in a more relaxed business environment.<\/p>
Shoes should be made of leather both for the upper part and for the soles. Thick rubber soles only make you like a \u2018backroom Boy\u2019, regardless of how comfortable they might be. Choose good quality calfskin leather shoes with a leather lining which allows your feet to breathe, and are most comfortable.<\/p>
The most appropriate colour for shoes is black. Cordovan (a reddish-black- burgundy), Oxblood, maroon or dark brown are also acceptable in many businesses. Beware of light colours or trendy fashion colours like moss green or true blue that sneak in once in a while among the offerings in men\u2019s\u2019 shoe stores. As great as they look, these fad colours are short lived and for casual wear only, never in business.<\/p>
Men looking for something lighter or cooler to wear to work during the hot season can choose a lighter leather slip-on or lightweight lace-ups. Simple styles in good quality leather are business appropriate and acceptable in more casual work environments or on casual Fridays.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
