When it comes to my email inbox, I get inundated with potential men's blog post ideas on shoes. There are so many brands and styles to choose from it got me thinking... why do most men only own a few pairs? If I was a guy I'd be filling my wardrobe with different sneakers, shoes, pumps and boots, yet from my research most guys only really own in the region of 5-7 pairs of shoes.
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. There are some men at my office who have nearer up to 100 but they work in the fashion industry so I think we'd expect a few extra pairs to sneak through, they've seen what amazing choice there is for men.
When putting this question to Twitter some people commented that men's style differs from girls in that they tend to stick to one 'look'. This is definitely true of plenty of men, but still doesn't explain things fully, even within one look there are plenty of options. Could it be that guys aren't so keen on shopping perhaps? But shopping online now is a breeze so that's not a very good excuse. Maybe it's that men are just more practical when it comes to shoe shopping, I know my boyfriend has bought the same pair of shoes as the old pair has worn out on more than a couple of occasions. If I have a pair of shoes that wears out the last thing I want to do is go out and get the same pair, it's a good excuse to try something new.
Regardless of the reasons why men tend to have fewer pairs of shoes, I am going to continue on my mission to write about the styles I really like. That way, I might just inspire a guy to go for something different next time he is shoe shopping. One of the reasons I love getting new shoes is because you generally don't have to worry about sizing issues and whether they will fit properly. A new pair of shoes always makes you feel good.
If you've been inspired to increase your shoe collection, then here are a few hot shoes from Spartoo...
