Men's Casual Shoes Guide: Loafers, Sneakers and Boots

The right pair of shoes can change an outfit completely. Here is a quick guide to the most useful casual styles and how to wear them.

Loafers

Slip-on loafers sit between formal and casual. They pair well with chinos and trousers, and a flat sole makes them comfortable for driving and long days out.

Sneakers

Clean white sneakers go with almost everything, from jeans to tracksuit trousers. Choose a plain design if you want one pair that works for many outfits.

Boots

High-top boots add structure and warmth in cooler months. They look good with straight trousers and jackets, and a sturdy sole helps on wet pavements.

Sandals and slippers

Lightweight flip-flops and sandals are practical in hot weather, and soft-soled slippers are for indoors.

Fit tips

  • Try shoes on later in the day, when feet are at their largest.
  • Leave a little room at the toe.
  • Check the size chart on the product page, because sizing can differ between styles.
  • Wear new shoes at home for short periods first.

Keep them looking good

Wipe leather and synthetic uppers with a soft damp cloth, let wet shoes dry naturally, and rotate pairs so each one can rest.
