Men’s shoes.

If you’re a regular reader of Fashionising.com then you’ll be no stranger to the fact that we adore much of what Swedish fashion house Acne Studios produces, particularly their shoes. While that generally sees us concentrate on their women’s offering, their Cypress boots the latest to catch our eye, the minimalist contours and traditional overtones of their Mission Polish lace ups are certainly worth remarking…

For all their untarnished perfection, there’s a commanding quality to these boots. They make me think of a young Johnny Cash, crushed cigarette butts underneath a heavy heel, biker rebelliousness, and teddy boy hairstyles. I can’t say whose feet they’re on, or even who designed them (if you know, please leave a comment below) – just that they’d work so well for girls as well…

A fair part of Fashionising.com’s Christmas gift guide this year has included gifts perfect for the travelling fashioniser. And here’s another. Tucked away in a black leather case is most everything the gentleman and lady traveller alike could need to maintain their footwear on a jaunt; open the kit’s clasp and the necessities of polish, both black and clear, a brush, cloth and shoe horn…

Men’s slippers have been something of a trend of late. I say something purposefully: it’s a style that appeals to a certain type of chap, one with a dandyish quality, usually one with either a matured sense of the prep style or who adds an element of the revivalist into his wardrobe. And should you know such a chap who is yet to add a…

Long before the advent of Internet shopping, or at least Internet shopping that could travel from the US to wherever I happened to be living at the time, Ralph Lauren featured men’s motorcycle boots amongst their Blue Label look book. I was besotted, and tracking down a pair in an equal shade of tan locally proved quite the endeavour. But it was one with plenty…

It’s the men’s boot for the Autumn / Fall 2010 season. It’s from Burberry. It’s got overtones of aviator-cool, with a shearling lining that is going to turn heads. It’s perfect for the redefined men’s military fashion trend. And it’s a work of art. Catch another glimpse after the jump.

Even though I’ll always preference an immaculate pair of handcrafted shoes, there’s something about a pair of stylish scuffed leather shoes, and the devil-may-care attitude that comes with them, that is undeniable appealing.

My quest to complete my Spring 2010 wardrobe before the onset of the season has previously led me to a pair of nautically coloured Timberland boat shoes. But today, as a gorgeously coloured tan paid found their way to me, the niggling doubt that I’ve had about boat and deck shoes of late has returned. Rest assured that doubt is not about the style, boat…

I have a confession: I’m impatient. And that impatience leads to a great many number of things, not the least of which is shopping a season ahead. Currently in Australia, stores here are providing their customers with what many a fashioniser would recognise as Autumn / Fall 2009. But a mixture of Internet shopping, frequent flyer miles, and random gifts in the mail means that…

I once received a strange look for declaring that my definition of a good pair of men’s shoes were those whose structure was so sculpted and craftsmanship so obvious that they bordered on being sexual. Hence the most recent addition to my footwear collection comes in the guise of this pair of Tom Ford shoes. More pictures after the jump
