Gentlemen, it’s time to talk about shoes.Not the ones you slip on when you go to the shop or the boots you grab when you need to walk the dog—the kind of boots and shoes that you keep in your wardrobe for special occasions.

Why is it time to talk about them? There are rumours going around that in 2025, the fashion of men’s shoes is going to take a bit of an unexpected turn, meaning the shoes that you may think make a statement no longer will. So, if you are a guy who simply has to have the newest must-have shoes in his collection, read on, as here, the most affordable and attention-grabbing shoes will be spoken about. 

Cowboy 

Cowboy boots are a statement to themselves. When paired with a set of pale jeans, a white t-shirt, or even a leather jacket, they can look amazing. If you are new to wearing them, opt for a simple pair made from leather and in either brown or black. When buying your first pair, make sure to go to a reliable brand that has a wide range of boots available so you can find the ideal style for you.

Loafers

Loafers are popular and are set to stay so and for a few simple reasons. They look both stylish and professional, but as they are slip-on, they offer the wearer immense comfort. They are also versatile and complement any outfit with ease. So, irrespective of your personal style, you will be sure to find a pair that will fit in with the rest of your clothes.

Boat Shoes- No Boat Needed!

The two-eyelet design of boat shoes makes them casual enough to dress down an outfit. However, the suede and leather material that they are often made from helps to bring a touch of class. 

Like loafers, these come in a range of colours and styles, and, best of all, they are exceedingly affordable. So, you won’t break the bank by adding them to your shoe closet. 

Sneakers

Who doesn’t like sneakers?Whether they are Converses or Air Jordans, these simple and comfy shoes are the ideal finish for a casual look while also still giving it personality. There is the option to go with the traditional white sneaker, or you can go for something a bit flashier in a panel print design.  

Best of all, as Converses are made of canvas, if you are truly inspired, you can grab some fabric pens and a white set of shoes and draw on your own design. There are so many ways you can customise your shoes.

Oxfords 

The oldest shoes on this list, Oxford shoes have been around since the 1800s, and in 2025, their popularity is not set to go anywhere.

These are bold, affordable shoes, and they are also one of the most versatile options in your wardrobe. You can wear them to a formal event, like a wedding, or you can pair them with jeans if you are having a casual day out.  They come in an array of colours, such as velvet, leather, and suede. If you have to get them in suede, just make sure you invest in some suede protection spray, or you may have to get rid of these great shoes before too long!
