While shoes are not most mens priority, much less shopping for them, finding the perfect pair and making sure they match clothes and accessories is the key to developing your daily style.
If shoes hold little interest for you, or youre lacking inspiration on what to go for, try stealing some ideas from our famous friends. Their stylists did the work and you can use that to help you find inspiration and give you a heads up on whats on trend, and in some cases whats definitely not.
Take star-spangled inspiration from Jay-Z and invest in iconic Timberland shoes. While Jay-Zs dedication to the brand has boosted their gangsta rap credentials, the outdoor apparel label also has an impressive range of non-ghetto clothing including classic lace-ups and deck shoes.
If gangstas not your thing, try a pair of Cuban heels in the style of flamboyant, gentleman scruff Russell Brand. Polished leather boots are the last word in dapper and with the rise of the Made in Chelsea brigade and a new wave of posh sweeping the nation, Chelsea boots are also making a comeback.
If none of these are sticking and youre after something altogether more casual, Brad Pitt loves his Vans leather sneakers so much that he even dresses his children in them too. For all out classic comfort, you cant go wrong with classic Converse hi-tops, worn by just about every off-duty celebrity from here to LA and back.
