Summer Shoe option

Band of Outsiders - 3 Eye Boat Shoe  $210

I know the boat shoe is nothing new, but as we approach summer its time to shed those heavy boots/lace-ups and slip into something lighter. Like Tom Ford says, a man should never wear sandals unless at the beach and this modern take on the boat shoe by Band of Outsiders is a perfect answer for your summer footwear needs.

Slipper

Brooks Brothers $198

These velvet slippers from brooks are legit. You can wear them with a dinner jacket, a tux, or a a suit. I really like this look, and if you can pull them off, go for it. Try wearing them with a pair of bright socks, like pink of electric blue.

Das Boot

oaknyc.com J shoes $112

ssense.com Diesel $250

A Swedish friend of mine was wearing the coolest boots the other day so I searched the Internet and came across these two pairs. I have never been a huge boot fan but I think I am starting to reconsider.

Prada's take on the classic converse cap toe.

Rolling High-Top

The Best shoe ever made. Can be worn with a suit, jeans, or shorts. Patten leather that cleans very easily. I have two pair and they are the best purchase in my wardrobe.

New Balance low-top

reminds me of the spring court low top. Great spring/summer option with rolled pants or shorts.

Snake Skin

Wow. Acne snake skin desert boots.

Moncler

When Moncler first became popular a few years ago I thought they would fade fast. This is one reason why I was wrong.

Great pair of sneakers from China! they were originally martial art shoes and are now sneakers. I have a pair and everyone comments on them. They do run about a half-size small, so size up.

Camo

From: my-wardrobe.com $280.50

It seems like camo shoes are in! I was recently at Barneys in New York and picked up some awesome camo desert boots. They are by Co-Op and are not available online ($275). These Comme de garcons shoes are rad and they also come in a leather loafer. I'm sure we will be seeing a lot of camo soon.
