Summer is Around the Corner

Posted by Chuck Nelson On April - 12 - 2009

Summer is around the corner so it’s time to step up your boat shoe game. We’re big fans of Sperry Gold Cups, for a few reasons-

1. They have a Vibram Sole which never wears down

2. They have a triple density memory foam which molds to your feet like a Tempur-Pedic Bed

3. They are lined with deerskin which wicks away sweat and moisture

4. They just look great.

Click on the link above for more designs and the ridiculous $1,000 Crocodile version. The venetians below are great because they slip on easy and don’t wrinkle like the other versions do. Wait for them to go on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale around Father’s Day and pick them up for just over a Franklin.

Shoes, Your Stylist

Brown is the New Black

Posted by Bravado Living On April - 9 - 2009

If you’ve been stuck wearing the same dull box-toe black shoes with all your shirt and tie combos it’s time for an upgrade. I recommend a round toed shoe, but instead of going for black this time, get a little riskier and buy a nice pair of chocolate brown shoes. They are more versatile than black, look phenomenal with almost any color suit-especially navy, hold a shine better than black shoes, and can dress up a pair of fitted jeans with a nice blazer. Pair it with a matching gold buckled belt and your grandfather’s watch and you will look timeless and modern in the same breath.
