"Support: Some people need a whole lot of arch support for their shoes to be considered comfy, and if that sounds like you, then pay attention to the heel drop of your shoe. Some styles, like Sorel and Flower Mountain, are designed with exceptional arch support in mind; others, like the ones from Veja and Vince, have pretty standard, basic designs that might not offer much support if you need some extra."
"Consider where you're going to wear your shoes most when buying; bars, parks, and weekend hang-outs are easily suited to sneaker styles, whereas for work and elevated events, something leather, like a slip-on or Chelsea boot, might serve you better. Maintenance: If you're not the kind of guy who's going to spot-clean his suede shoes with a damp cloth when they get dirty, opt for a pair of easy-to-clean shoes instead."
Check heel drop and arch support when prioritizing comfort; people needing strong arch support should seek shoes designed for support. Brands such as Sorel and Flower Mountain prioritize exceptional arch support, while Veja and Vince typically offer more basic, standard support. Match shoe style to frequent settings: sneakers work for casual venues like bars, parks, and weekend hangouts, while leather slip-ons or Chelsea boots better suit work and elevated events. Factor maintenance in purchases and select materials that fit care habits: leather and rubber are easy to clean, whereas suede, mesh, wool, and cashmere require more careful spot-cleaning.
