Each Wednesday we’ll answer the on-going question: “What do I wear with these?” It’s a question we get quite often here at the shop and we love giving suggestions when helping our customers. This week we are helping out the guys.
Desert boots or chukka boots have been trending for several seasons, so much so that we consider them a classic style. We like this one from Satorisan, meant to be worn without socks and designed with side vents to keep your feet cool. The leather sock liner and foam rubber sole mold to your feet making them super comfortable. Wear these with your chinos and a short sleeve woven shirt for a casual Friday at work.
A smart update to your work shoe collection is a woven oxford. Perfect for summer weather to be worn with or without socks. We like this laceless style from Officine Creative. The handwoven leather is rich in color and texture. We would pair these with jeans and a linen sport coat and forget the laces and the socks, or not.
Okay guys, time to up your game when it comes to sandals. Ditch the thongs (at least once in awhile) for a comfortable leather slide style. Wear them with a pair of Bermuda shorts and a long sleeve linen shirt and you won’t get funny looks the next time you frequent that trendy restaurant wearing your rubber flip-flops. Instead you’ll be admired for your casual laid-back look.
Thanks for stopping by, we hope you have a great rest of your week! To view more styles for guys visit us at resoul.com.
Sometimes, guys see a loafer in the shop and say “I don’t know how to pull that penny loafer, slip-on, thing off.” Well, let us show you, gentlemen. A really nice loafer will go with just about anything. Especially this beauty from Officine Creative. We like them with jeans or casual trousers. The key is to wear them with”no socks.” Wink. Wink. We have a nice collection of Stance Super Invisibles socks in the shop right now that will be perfect for the warmer days. So go ahead, get out of your sneaks and into a pair of classic loafers. They’ll look great on you!
re-souL is proud to present Thorocraft footwear for men. Founded in California in 2009, this company blends interesting modern materials and advanced footwear technology with traditional bench style craftmanship. For example, Thorocraft utilizes laser cutting technology to precision cut a perforated detail as shown in the style Mercer below. For their sneakers the footbeds are lined with soft pigskin and utilize premium breathable latex foam for soft cushioning. The outsole is crafted from their genuine rubber compound which provides excellent flexibility and comfort. We love the mix of materials; leather, suede, raffia and ponyhair which turn an ordinary oxford or sneaker into something truly unique.
Quality and construction are just as important as style. Thorocraft hand selects high grade materials that will gain the unique character of the person who wears it and only look better over time. Upon the completion of each shoe, each pair is thoroughly inspected and only after meeting their construction requirements, the heel rivet is added to their shoes as a seal of approval.
