Dress Shoes - Tops Pairs for Men

The dress shoe more often than not is laced, and is made with style presiding over comfort. Although, as comfort becomes more of a priority for many wearers, so too does the classification of 'dress' and 'casual' continue to fuse together.

An advantage of the dress shoe is that they have the potential of offering long term durability. Given a stitched sole, it has higher chances of future replacement in the years ahead whereas the cobbler or repair person often cannot do this when faced with more causal designs that rely on moldings or adhesives. On the flipside however is the fact that many dress shoes do not provide an effective means of moisture management and hence trap both foot odor and moisture. Though some dress models evacuate better than others and this might be criteria for selection based on personal experience.
