Trends In Men's Shoes : Casual Footwear

Like I said, many casual shoes can be worn to work and with suits (of course, it depends on what line of work you're in). There are casual shoes that can pass for dress shoes, with the rubber sole and wedge heel, in both lace shoes and loafers. Ankle boots are also in style, with either laces, a velcro strip (that fastens the shoe) or an elastic band.

Speaking of elastics, a fashionable form of loafer that is presently in style is a slip-on with an elastic band at the front or the sides, to keep the shoes on and add a bit of detail. This elastic shoe is enough of a detail to add some originality to your shoes in a rather subtle way.

As for laces in dress/casual shoes, you'll find that laces are thin, unless you're dealing with the latest bowling trend
