Jacques Soloviere has some really funky options. Itโs a love it or hate it situation but Iโm obsessed with them right now. Peep their oxfords and loafers.
The Paraboot Michael is my personal fav, also love the Chambord โ both will last you a lifetime.
Morjas has some amazing offerings in both the loafer & shoe department too. All the above mentions + more are in the article. Enjoy!

I don't drive so I walk a lot and treat shoe purchases as if I am buying vehicles. I have acknowledged this week that I now have every shoe I will need. I have tried and tested many many many kinds and brands and these are my findings
Trainers:
- For day to day, city walking etc = Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 (I have walked 15,000 steps in these and felt nothing)
- For longer distances, when you need a chunky sole, rain etc = Adidas Astir
Sandals:
- Clarks (I just got the Alda Cross sandals and wowww)
Boots:
- Vagabond (beautifully made, comfy, great styles)
- Fly London (I wore these for ten hour bartending shifts and they were super comfy)
- Skechers (mostly hideous but they have squishy sole walking boots which are peak comfort)
Heels:
- I have done a lot of research here and the way to find walkable heels is to look for the positioning of the heel. If the heel is directly under the heel of the foot that's good, if it's right at the back that's bad. It's all about the weight distribution.
- My favourite nice heels are from Aquazzura, my second favourite are from H&M.
Loafers:
- Gucci win for both heeled and flat loafers
- Marks and Spencers in second place for chunky loafers
Slip ons/clogs:
- Birkis by Birkenstock
- bonus round: I've loved every pair of sliders I've ever met

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version.
Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.
