Men's Fall Footwear: Three Styles That Will Get You Through Fall

Days are getting shorter, leaves are changing.
It must mean it’s time to put the boat shoes, sandals, flip flops, esperdillas and mocs away.
Take a look at the three styles I won't go through the fall season without. 

With my chicks.  Salomon Speedcross, Simms Wader Sweatpant, Patagonia Buckshot Flannel.

There are three categories of footwear I find myself going to every fall and winter.  At the most basic level they include; boots, trainers, and what I like to call leather lows (oxfords, chukkas..etc).    Having one of each option in your closet will get you through the season ahead, and keep you looking fresh.

Trainers

I love the Speedcross from Salomon, great on the trail but also looks good with denim.  Cool color-ways and they offer a waterproof version.  Nike SB is always a good look with jeans and t-shirt/sweatshirt.  New releases every month.  These deep blue kicks release next month.  Topo and Salomon colab here.  Similar to the Speedcross, you get a sporty look that holds up on the trail but also works with denim.

Leather Lows

Classic looks here, and your closet is not complete without something along these lines.  The oxford from Oliberte is a safe bet works well a variety of pants.  Toms offers a variety of brogues in cool novelty fabrics and the standard leather.  You can also check out Frye Company for a little different option, sneaker and dress shoe come together.  Really clean look with tapered denim and button down.

Boots

I like all three silhouettes.  The Danner hiking boot, on-trend and versatile.  The Redwing covers the mountain-man 2.0 look, and the Frye Walter Lace Up, is a dressy rugged look.

Final Thoughts...

You honestly can't go wrong with any of these styles.  If you have to pick one, base it on where you plan to play throughout the fall/winter season.  If you are primarily dining out, go with the boot.  If you need something fresh for work, grab one of the leather lows.  Save the trainers for the gym or a lazy Sunday with your lady.
