There are a few essential things that we should look out for when buying shoes; the most important being the trinity – build, comfort and versatility.
You have to be very intuitive and creative when you are buying a pair of shoes. Invest in shoes that keep your feet protected from all weather conditions, that are comfortable, free of blisters and one you can rotate through at least a handful of outfits and still look super trendy at the same time.
Whether you like to stick to the classics: trainers, the slip-on, lace-ups, sneakers or just poolside flip flops we have this season’s must-haves when it comes to men’s shoes.
1. Nike Air Force 1

3.Oxford Shoes
Before we even say anything about the Oxford shoe, we need to clarify something for the purpose of this article. An Oxford shoe is a shoe with laces, and not a slip-on, monk strap shoe or Chelsea boot. It has a closed lace system.

We have been seeing loafers everywhere; they are real fashion trendsetters. Business meetings, date nights or just casual outings, you won’t go wrong with this pair. The variety of this make, is also a plus.
5. Havaianas, flip Flops
When summer arrives and the weather heats up, it’s no doubt that even the most obsessive sneaker lover will trade in their sneakers for a lightweight summer-friendly shoe and Havaianas are definitely your first option.
