If you thought shoes were a woman's department, you clearly have a lot to learn. The way a man speaks defines him but his shoes simply talk about his style, which plays an essential role. In case you still don't get the point, a man's shoes are the best way to understand if he understands the alphabet of styling. You might think you have those couple of shoes that can go with everything but wait till we tell you how you totally need an upgrade.

For instance, if you are planning to hit a club, your favourite flip flops are a big no-no, because your hairy toes are the last thing people want to check out. Did we just break your dreamy bubble? Stick around and we will simply it for you.

With the fashion industry evolving every minute, designers have experimented with tones, soles, fabrics, designs, hand-drawn work and tassels. So many options can often confuse any soul. So, Entrepreneur India gets you a onetime shoe guide which rounds up the must-haves and the most essential styles. Remember the last thing you put always is the first to catch people's attention.

Moccasins

Quite similar to slip-on, moccasins are leather made and are very comfy because of their soft sole. The origin of these pair came into existence when Native Americans roamed around in the wilderness. It would be wrong to call them one of the most opulent shoes you will have in your shoes. Adding to this gorgeous piece is tassel, hand-drawn embellishments, and beads.
