Breakdown Of Men's Dress Shoe Style

A ‘dress shoe’ means something you’d like to wear at a formal meeting, office party or at an event. An informed and stylishly slanted refined man such as yourself is very much aware that he has various kinds of dress shoes to go for, yet these are most well-known styles to get ready or go savvy easygoing with.

1. Brogues

The brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterised by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations and serration along the pieces' visible edges. Brogues with denim are one of our favourite combinations. Take a slim pair of blue or raw denim jeans, pair them with brown, black or blue mens brogues and you have the best outfit look.

2. Oxfords

An Oxford is a lace-up shoe that has the bottom of the lacing section sewn closed and one that also has the eyelet facings stitched underneath the vamp. Oxfords are simply your essential shoes when it comes to formal dressing, as they will give you a sleek and clean shape. Still, depending on the style and colour of the mens oxfords you choose, they will also work great for a business casual style.

3. Derby

A derby is a style of shoe characterized by quarters, with shoelace eyelets that are sewn on top of the vamp. This construction method, also known as "open lacing", contrasts with that of the Oxford shoe. Colour variations like black derby shoes, help them to be the best suit as dress shoes.


SOLES

The bottom part of a shoe, the part that is intended to come in repeated contact with the ground is called the sole.

Leather Sole -

A strong, heavy leather especially prepared for shoe soles. The hides are taken from the tanning tanks and drums, the spent tan is brushed off, and the hides are laid on a polished stone slab, then dried in a warm/hot place, and beaten with iron or roller press called cylender by machinery. People who work standing on their feet for long hours need shoes that are healthy and comfortable. Unlike shoes made from plastic, rubber and synthetic materials, leather sole shoes breathe and keep the feet cool. With less sweating, athlete's foot and other foot infections are avoided.

Dainite Sole -

The popular and versatile English-made Dainite studded rubber sole has been a feature of many of Daniel Craig’s shoes in his James Bond films. Most English shoemakers, as well as many other quality shoemakers around the world, use this sole on their shoes when they desire an alternative to leather. The Dainite sole is one of the most elegant alternatives to a leather sole, with approximately the thickness of a double leather sole.


The Best Men’s Leather Shoemakers

There are many shoe company which are known to be “The Best Men’s Leather Shoemakers” but at some point, they lack the quality and fitting a Premium brand should have in their product.

1. Barker Shoes -

Footwear enthusiasts will doubtless know that Barker is something of a fabled shoemaker, a maker that somehow succeeds in combining extraordinary softness and comfort with sturdy welts and shapely lasts. Barker Shoes have been an English tradition for 140 years. 

Only the most carefully selected leathers are used and the uppers are shaped on the last by hand. Many other traditional shoemaking methods are still employed including slow natural drying and polishing. Barker has been making shoes in the Northamptonshire village of Earls Barton since 1880.

2. John Lobb - 

John Lobb Bootmaker is a company that manufactures and retails a luxury brand of shoes and boots mainly for men, but also for women. Leather goods such as wallets and belts are also available. 

John Lobb Bootmaker has been in business since 1849 in London and circa 1900 in Paris.
