Shoes for the summer
June 8, 2017 6:39 PM   Subscribe

I need men's shoes that look equally good with business casual (khakis/slacks) or casual (jeans and a button up shirt) and will help keep my feet cool. Brown or black. Preferably available in the United States without breaking the bank. Thank you.

Woven loafers are a possibility as some air can get through. Also, mesh loafers for a more casual look.

How about Clarks?

Maybe something from Ecco?

I have had good luck with finding them on sale at The Walking Store.

I'm a big fan of Rockport shoes. They manage to combine classic styles with good comfort. A venetian or penny loafer with traditional soles will never go out of style in your lifetime. You can also take them to a cobbler and get rubber sole/heel protectors. Replace those once a year and those shoes will last forever.

I'm also a big fan of low, ankle, or "no show" athletic socks for summer. They are much cooler than regular men's socks, and much more pleasant than going without socks.
