Best-Selling Men's Shoes

Trainers: profile and volume

Explore men's trainers to compare lower profiles and sporty shapes. Notice how a trouser hem sits over the instep: a fuller sole changes the outfit's proportions.

A bestselling selection can bring together very different silhouettes. Compare what appeals to you in each: a substantial sole, neutral colour combinations or an easy fastening. Then relate that preference to your measurements and clothing. A design's popularity does not show that its last suits every foot.

Sandals, clogs and boots

Compare straps, buckles and toe coverage in men's sandals and slides. With closed footwear, also consider shaft height and opening; these affect putting the pair on and the space available for socks.

Comparing two options

• Consult each design's measurements and size guide.
• Check the fastening and heel support.
• Review upper, lining and sole materials.
• Consider the trousers and socks you will wear.

Choosing by use and caring for the finish

Broaden the selection with men's shoes. Identify materials before cleaning: suede, smooth leather and textile need different methods. Store the pair dry and avoid direct heat when drying.
