So, yes, it's true that people notice your shoes, by choosing the right shoe the average outfit is elevated to excellence, an amazing outfit can be a style liability with the wrong shoes, and shoes are AWESOME! Men's Shoe Must Haves With these shoes you'll always have the right shoe for outfit or situation you find yourself in.
    1. Simple black dress shoe - you can wear with jeans, slacks, chinos, and more if a matte finish.
    2. Brown dress shoe - super sexy 2nd cousin of the simple black dress shoe. Adds richness and dimension to your outfit. Get a different style than your black dress shoe and keep it fresh.
    3. Boots - chukka, dessert, or snub nose Frye
    4.Leather casual shoe - Cole Haan lace up and driving moc are examples. You can wear casually during the week or dress up shorts. Comfortable, versatile, and you don't have to worry about it getting beat up.
    5. Fashion sneaker - you don't go running in this or go to the gym. You kick around town while looking fresh and fly. You can step up your game but not like you're looking sneakers.

    I'm amazed at how childish the people in the comment section are. Alpha is brave and takes precious time out of his life to make sure we, as men, look our best by posting videos. I know I would quit if I receive the hate comments that he gets. If you don't want his advice, fine. Just don't go on the comment section and say some really messed up things. Alpha has helped me up my style game and my confidence because I gave him a try and I wasn't going to be stubborn and say "my style is fine the way it is". People come here for advice, not to attack someone who is taking a stand and actually doing something with life. Keep up the good work, Aaron.

    You sir, have elevated my wardrobe and over look from looking like a mismatched walmart catalog model to a sharply dressed gent, and forking out the extra bucks for the designer name has made a huge difference. I've gotten so many compliments all thanks to you! and that has boosted my confidence so much. Before, I had always considered fashion as something to some extent, trivial, but now living the difference, I've just felt better, even though the importance of how I looked was just a small part of my life, it's made all the difference. So thanks man! Love your channel and fashion expertise! You've helped in a small yet big way, keep your videos coming!

    Dudes... This guy is not telling you to go buy the same exact shoes..he's saying have 5 types similar to these:
    1. Black dressy
    2. Brown dressy
    3. Dressy casual like chukkas
    4. Versatile everyday casual (loafers)
    5. Sneakers that dont look like pumps from "Eerie Indiana"
    Now that doesn't mean you cant have boots (no shit, just only in the cold season) or jordanz or w.e... Jesus he didn't write the bible, he just made a guide

    • @altuber99_athlete
      @altuber99_athlete 9 лет назад

      u_dun_goofed If it's a blue jean, yes. But for black or dark wash jeans they can look better. Khahi,I don't know.

    • @Tom_-
      @Tom_- 9 лет назад

      Altuber 99 With a black jean, yes. But then again, depending on the cut and stitching colour - they might not even look like jeans, so will go better with black dress shoes.

Start with easy colors like black, white, blue, navy, but mostly white. Follow this advice and your ahead of the fashion game even ahead of this guy.

    @pawbiter 6 лет назад

    I'm in my 60's and your advice is spot on. It applies to men my age as well as to the younger generations.Buying the same pair of shoes in brown and in black is like buying the same tie in various colors. You don't save any money doing that.
    I am 5' 5" 150 pounds and just bought a pair of wingtip chelsea boots. I wish I had bought these boots decades ago! A great addition to my wardrobe.One more thought. Don't hesitate to shop for shoes when they are on sale. You might be able to find some higher-end good quality shoes that normally might be out of your price range.

      ***** 1) Almost all clothing is made this way. As mentioned, there is no possible way that you are not currently wearing a piece of clothing that was made in a sweat shop right now unless you are naked, and I mean naked because underwear is made in sweat shops too.
      2) Real brand Converse are only $30.

      ***** women are okay, not too good. Most of the time they're obsessive and don't really have a clue as to how fashion is to look good. They're better than men because men don't care. But those tiny percentage of men are better at putting clothes together than women believe it or not. And those men are the ones who shop more than women. So she did the right thing in searching for a video and finding this dude. He's decent with his fashion tips.

    These would be my picks for the 5 must haves.
    1. Black Oxford (formal, semi-formal, professional)
    2. Brown Brogue Oxford (semi-formal)
    3. Burgundy Derby (semi-formal, professional, casual)
    4. Tan or Sand Suede Chukka (professional, casual)
    5. White Sneaker (casual)
    I'm not a big proponent for shoes black shoes with jeans. There are also at least two other shoes that should be included but they aren't the priority. Casual slip-on loafers are great for the summer, whether in the park or on the water. Either the Chelsea or Ankle boot look more stylish (semi-formal, professional) than the Chukka, and great fall or mild winter wear.

      +RadzMexicano I believe that the line means that if an Oxford has brogue detailing, it's still an Oxford, and that's what it should be called, not a brogue. True Brogues have proper holes in them to let water through. They come from Scotland.

    • @danielfl.9347
      @danielfl.9347 8 лет назад

      Manuel F Depends on your age, and what sort of club.
      Comme Des Carcoons are perfect if you are in the age from 18-21.
      If you want to stay a bit more classe, but still with a modern touch: etaldesign.dk/shop/payberg-varnished-leather-black/
      If you want to stay completely classy, at a wedding for instans, Clarks have a brilliant line.
      I would say that it is about finding a perfect mix of both.
      Try using 1-3 hours searching on the internet for shoes. Some sites like "Sneakerheads" on FB can also be used for inspiration.

      yeezy boots remind me of a mix between sorels and palladium. There's is no unique style about them.

    I'm sorry but you can't talk about must-own shoes without mentioning a pair of converse.

      +badlydrawnkid6 that's kind of a lie. I've had the same pair for 4 years and it's only collected dirt. no signs of falling apart, you must torture your shoes or something.

      tristan whitney You must have several pairs of Converse sneakers and you likely rotate them. Mostly teenagers or people, who have several pairs, claim they don't fall apart.

    I think the Adidas originals superstar are the best for let's say a #6 if you had in this video. They are so classic and sporty while also being nicer than a running sneaker.

    But alpha... I'm a machinist. I don't work in an office. I work with metals, oils and other hazardus things. Some of us can't wear a nice dress shirt to work everyday, let alone nice shoes... I wish you could show shoes for the average blue collar man...

    You omitted the famous steel toe sandal. Always classy and elegant.
