Hi guys, let’s think of ourselves for a minute. Lets research on some issues
concerning us. To be honest with you, I just learnt about some of the shoe
names but I would not reveal how plenty or how little I knew about the various
male shoe names before now.
The following are type of male shoes you can find around
1- Oxfords
Originally
known as Balmorals in England, oxfords are leather shoes with a low instep, closed lacing and a non-rubber
sole. Modern oxfords, however, may be constructed from suede
or synthetic
materials according to the designer’s taste, but no matter the material used to
construct them, oxfords are usually quite plain with few — if any —
embellishments. This type of shoe best fits formal outings.
2- Loafers
As a
young lad, this was about the only shoe I knew its name. Loafers look sporty as well as official on
the wearer. It is known to have no lace or buckle. Traditionally made from
leather, loafers are slip-on shoes that resemble a moccasin on top, but have a
wide and fairly flat heel. Many loafers have tassels, although these are often
dispensed with nowadays.
Penny loafers have a strap across the upper portion of
the shoe, which was originally designed to hold chain or an ornament.
3- Cap toes
Cap toes
are essentially decorated oxfords. Dress shoes can be embellished in a number
of ways, but a cap toe on oxfords is by far the most common. Oxfords are
usually quite spare with no superfluous features on the top portion of the
shoe
above the toe. In contrast, cap-toe shoes have an additional layer or band of
leather over the toe. The extra portion might be a clean and simple line, in
which case you will be able to wear them more frequently.
4- Dress boots
Dress
boots are slim, ankle-length boots with a slight heel that fit the foot and leg
quite snugly. They perfectly fit both formal dressing and casual wears.
5- Monk strap
This
style of shoe refers to dress shoes that are similar to loafers in that they
don’t have laces. While loafers are typically plain or tasseled, monk strap
shoes have a metallic buckle and a leather strap on the upper portion of the
shoe; a feature that also distinguishes them from cap toes, where the leather
strap is located above the toe portion of the shoe.
The shoe is designed in
such a way that it can be used for both casual and formal outing.
6. Athletic Shoes
Athletic shoes can be broken up into many categories: Runners, Walkers,
Cross-Trainers, Hikers, and Tennis Shoes. Each shoe is designed for the
activity in its name and you should be careful to primarily use it for that
purpose.
You can wear your walkers and hikers with casual clothes, but make sure that
you keep them clean since there texture is not the same as ordinary shoes. The
watch word is ‘Keep it clean’. Washing it with hand is more preferable as
against using washing machine, which might not be of good to the shoe.
7. Boat
Shoes
