#jd fisk

We dig this pair from J.D. Fisk - it's reasonably priced with a smoky purplish-grey tone. These will kill it with a pair of khakis or corduroys (always encouraging people to jump on the corduroy train). For all the young dudes out there, nothing says grownup quite like a pair of these babies.

The Boot

If the oxfords are sveltely sexy, boots are their hot, rugged counterpart. We see the boot everywhere, particularly with the popularity of the urban mountain man look (that occasionally can be overdone). The thing is, the boot never tires. Your grandpa wore them, your dad wore them, and now you, young buck, are still looking mighty fine in them as well. Here are a few of our favorites...

The Sneaker

River Island / Hi-Top Trainers /  45 euros

And now we've come to the sneaker (or "trainer" if you're feeling british or on Asos!). We think guys have it a little bit better when it comes to athletic footwear. The colors, materials and styles all seem to be more inventive and versatile than the selection women are typically offered. We love these River Island hi-tops featured above; they're understated with a touch of neon if you request the orange laces with them.
