In the summer there is not so much of a need for shoes or boots however there are certain occasions in which you do need to wear shoes, for example summer is a popular time for weddings and you cannot exactly stroll into a church in a dapper suit and a pair or trainers or flip flops. Unlike women men do not have endless pairs of shoes to be honest unless you are suited and booted every day for work they are not really practical and at weekends most of us like to kick back in a pair of sandal or flip flops or trainers! Take a look at some of my top picks of designer mens shoes – suitable for any formal occasion.
