Formal men shoes leather shoes, compared with casual leather shoes, refer to leather shoes of a specified style that match with formal wear, and belong to the category of leather shoes that is more in line with the traditional European and American dress culture.

Formal shoes are not only lace-up styles, they have their own fixed paradigm. Formal leather toe caps have a variety of styles such as pointed, round, and square toes, and the heel height is medium. The colors are mainly black, brown and white. In underdeveloped countries or regions, convenient and practical strapless lazy leather shoes are often mistaken for formal leather shoes. In principle, dress shoes should be paired with dark socks. The length of the special suit socks reaches the calf, no matter how big the movement is, it will not "go out" to reveal the calf.

Formal leather shoes originated from the European gentleman culture. There were strict regulations: three-joint leather shoes during the day and two-joint leather shoes at night. Evening dress shoes and country casual sports shoes have other paradigms. Today, this etiquette is slightly looser. First of all, two-piece leather shoes are also accepted for day wear. The dovetail carved style that was once used as country casual shoes or even golf sneakers has also been included in the category of formal shoes, and is now a gentleman. We added a little bit of randomness. Even with these changes in looseness, other styles of leather shoes are still not included in the strict gentleman's formal dress code.

1. Leather: There are two types of casual leather uppers: smooth leather and reverse leather. Good-quality smooth leather shoes have uniform grain thickness, smooth and fine, no wrinkles and scars; uniform brightness and color, bright and vivid color, and no difference in lightness and darkness. Press the leather surface with your fingers, and the wrinkles appear even and small. After releasing the fingers, the fine lines disappear; the hand mold feels soft and smooth, full of elasticity, not rigid, and the thickness of the leather is even and moderate. Good quality reverse leather shoes, the surface is soft and uniform, the color is uniform, there are no thick long fibers, oil stains, no obvious wrinkles and scars, and the touch feel is the same as smooth leather shoes.

2. Sole: There are two types of casual leather soles: leather and rubber. Good-quality leather soles have a bright and smooth surface, uniform color, no oil spots, stains and scars, and uniform thickness; with fingers, the sound is clear and the hand mold feels very solid. The sole is flexible and plump, has high tensile strength and strong wear resistance. Good quality rubber soles have a smooth and consistent surface, neat patterns, and each pattern's edges and corners should be distinct and complete. Viewed from the side, the cut surface is uniform and fine without impurities, no large or small granular structure, and no uneven thickness; it should have good toughness and elasticity when touched by hand. If it is glued leather shoes, check whether the adhesion of the bottom edge and the upper sole is tight and smooth, and there should be no gaps or glue left.

3. Breathability: Among casual leather shoes, synthetic leather has the worst breathability. Generally, natural leather shoes have better air permeability, and pig leather is the best one, because pig skin pores are several times thicker than cowhide pores, and the pores are much larger, and sweat is easily discharged. But leather is not as beautiful as cowhide. Choose those casual leather shoes with vents when shopping.

4. Size: Choose casual leather shoes based on the principle of comfort. Generally speaking, it is better for the width to be fully expanded when the foot is stressed; for the length to be not pinched to the top, and the foot does not slide in the shoe when walking. In addition, the time to buy casual leather shoes is also particular. In the afternoon, people have a slight swelling of their feet, so the size of the leather shoes purchased at this time is appropriate; if you try on the shoes in the morning, you should leave room for them so that you don’t wear them for a long time.

5. Appearance: In addition to choosing your favorite style, you also need to pay attention to whether the stitches of the stitches are uniform and whether the two shoes are completely symmetrical. Then place the toe of the shoe toward you and lay it flat on the counter, and check whether the contact point between the forefoot of the sole and the counter is in the center of the forefoot. If there is a deviation, it is easy to be sideways when worn on the foot, resulting in shoe deformation.
