Men’s Designer Shoes: Our Top Picks

Women seem to have all the fun when it comes to designer shoes, but that does not mean men can’t have fully stocked shoe closets.  Stores abound with designer shoes for men, but it can be difficult to wade through the trends to find pairs that are truly worth the investment.  We are sharing our top current picks for designer men’s shoes to guide you in your choice.

Oxfords

Every man’s wardrobe should include at least one pair of good looking Oxfords.  This versatile shoe can be worn with a tailored suit or with a pair of jeans and a button down.  We recommend investing in one of these two beautiful shoes.

These classic brown Austin-cap oxfords by Tom Ford are the perfect shoe for any stylish gentleman.  The calfskin shoe features brogue detailing for a traditional oxford look.  If Cary Grant wore a shoe on this list, it would be this one.  These shoes sell for $1,990.

We also love these beige suede Balmorals from Gianvito Rossi.  The sleek lines and stacked heel have a modern sensibility that won’t detract from your designer suit.  However the unusual color makes these shoes anything but boring.  Expect to pay $895 to own these shoes.

 

Made in Italy, Gianvito Rossi’s five-eye balmorals are constructed of beige suede. Known for using artisanal techniques, the Milan-based label creates subtle, understated shoes with durable soles.

 

Sneakers

Combining the world of luxury and athletic wear, these Tom Ford hightops elevate a casual outfit to something extraordinary.  The calf leather sneakers are understated in style, but elevated in materials.  This is the way to look effortlessly cool.  The sneakers will set you back $1,090.

These Valentino sneakers are an example of camouflage that does anything but blend in.  The bold shoes featured camo leather appliques accented in blue and olive suede.  Own these Rockrunner sneakers for $795.

 

Crafted of army green, blue, and multicolored camouflage-print canvas, appliquéd leather, and suede, Valentino’s Rockrunner low-top sneakers are styled with the house’s signature rubberized pyramid studs rendered at the heel stabilizer.

 

Boots

These stylish Fratelli Giacometti chukka boots are made in Italy of beautiful leather.  Chukka boots are versatile enough to wear with formal or casual outfits, so these are another investment-worthy item.  This pair retails for $1,115.

 

Styled with a plain toe, Fratelli Giacometti’s three-eye chukka boots are constructed of brown burnished leather.

We love these sleek Calvin Klein Tex boots as well.  The side zip closure provides a stylish detail to the boots, as well as saving you a few seconds of time getting ready in the morning.  The Italian leather upper is complimented by a sturdy rubber sole.  Pre-order this pair for $1,195.

 

Smooth, glazed leather and a smartly pointed toe elevate an Italian-crafted boot grounded by durable Goodyear welt construction.

Loafers

Two of the three versions of this Gucci loafer men’s designer shoes feature a strip of the iconic Gucci grosgrain, but we prefer the understated all-black version.  The unmistakable Gucci insignia still clearly identifies these leather slip-ons as designer shoes.  These gorgeous shoes cost $695.

These stylish apron toe loafers from Gianvito Rossi simply ooze luxury.  The navy suede Venetian loafers may not work with every outfit, but the fashionable man can certainly find a use for them in his wardrobe.  Pre-order these beautiful shoes for $875.
