Shoes

Gentlemen, what's next on the list?

If you missed the first installment of my series, be sure to check it out here.

Shoes. So many of us decided we were not going to spend money on shoes because you're only going to wear your dress shoes every now and then. But here's the thing, usually when you wear those dress shoes, it is for HOURS! I'm not talking 2 or 3, we're talking 7+, and when you buy those cheap shoes, your feet will be killing you at the end of the day.

Here's the thing with dress shoes, they stand the test of time. Not much has changed in the fashion of dress shoes over the years and that's a good thing. Penny loafers still look great. Double monk strap, horse-bit loafer, they all stand the test of time and why not spend a little extra on something that can stay in your rotation for 10+ years and not only be comfortable but still be trendy.

I recommend 3 pairs of dress shoes, 1 pair in black, 1 pair in brown, and 1 fancy pair. The great thing about dress shoes is they're not like Jordan 1's where you need to have every colorway, you'll be fine with just black and brown.
