The question of shoes is often left unanswered by men who are just beginning to craft their image. This is, without doubt a mistake, because, as we all know, the devil is in the details. When you encounter new people–be they a new client, a boss, or a potential in-law, you want to be able to put your best foot forward.
That foot should be shod appropriately for the circumstances, dress or business casual. As well, what most guys don’t consider is that, though high-quality dress shoes cost a bit more up front, they will last longer and stay nice looking longer than a cheap pair of shoes bought off the sale rack. Take time to consider how you’re presenting yourself.
Do you have the right shoes for the needs of the moment? Here are some stylish options to get you off on the right track.
