Men’s lace-up shoes
Lace-up shoes for men are a classic addition to any wardrobe. As a versatile shoe, you can pair them as easily with business attire as you can with relaxed leisureoutfits, enjoying optimal support and maximum comfort for all-day wear.
Finding your perfect men’s lace-up shoes
With so many styles, brands and colours on the markets, finding your perfect men’s lace-up trainers may feel a bit daunting. From comfort and support to occasion and materials, there are a few things to consider before making your choice.
Things to consider when buying lace-up shoes
Style – Are you looking for something to go with everything? Something sporty? Something eye-catching? Something from your favourite brand? Although the shoe’s components are the same, style makes a huge difference to when and where you’ll wear your lace-up trainers.
Fit – Support your style with a well-fitting pair of lace-up trainers. As with all shoe purchases, it’s good practice to measure your feet before you buy and ensure the fit is snug (but not noticeably restrictive) with a little wiggle room for your toes. Likewise, you don’t want them to be loose enough to fly off your feet.
Material – Different materials require different maintenance, so have a think about what you want and what you’re prepared to do for the upkeep. Whether textiles, leather, suede or synthetics, doing your research before buying may save you a bit of a headache later.
Ways to style men’s lace-up shoes
For a casual look, pair lace-up trainers with jeans, chinos or shorts, and a t-shirt or polo shirt on top. To dress them up, try styling with some dark-wash jeans and a button-down shirt – a blazer or sportcoat is an optional addition for something even more sophisticated.
