The 411 On The Types Of Winter Shoes Every Man Needs

Every year when winter rolls around, our lives get thrown off course. Your skin gets dry, public transportation is a mess because of the snow—even your choice of shoes is limited because of Jack Frost. While we can’t do anything about public transit (for your skin, moisturizing lotion will do), we may be able to do something about your shoe situation.

We’re here to make sense of the winter chaos by breaking down the shoes you need to ensure a warm and stylish winter.

The Work Shoe

Many of shiny oxfords and brogues have met an unfortunate end because of snow. We would hate for the same to happen to yours. Instead, go for shoes that are tough enough to withstand the harshest of winter conditions, like lace-up boots with a cushioned lining and rubber sole for extra traction. Arrive at work looking your professional best wearing a gray chunky-knit cardigan over a plum-hued shirt and navy pants.

The Lounge Shoe

It’s the first Saturday you have to yourself in forever and you intend to take full advantage by staying home and doing absolutely nothing. You have everything you need for your big day in, including warm blankets, a fridge full of beer and the pizza guy on speed dial. All that’s missing is a pair of lush, sheepskin-lined slippers to keep you warm as you lounge the day away.

The Date Night Shoe

Your work boots are fine for the office, but when it comes to going out with a special someone, shoes with a little more pizazz are in order. Choose a pair of patent-leather ankle boots with strap detailing to fit the tone of your romantic outing. Make it a dashing ensemble by adding dark-wash jeans and a pink shirt peeking out beneath a navy crew-neck sweater.

There’s no reason for winter to throw everything off track. Stay on point by stocking up on these winter shoes.

Tell winter that this time around, you’re in control.
