Men, show them you mean business!

My little review of Mark Nason Acoustic (Men's), Olive

These stylish, all-leather, men's slip-ons can be worn with either a formal or casual look.  Best of all, because they ARE expensive, the ladies will know they're expensive.  And that can't hurt in making a good first impression.  Agree?

Weighing in on the square toed shoe debate...

Just read this post on The Coherent blog regarding  a nice discussion about men's fashion and whether or not there can be any major changes in men's fashion trends if retailers don't help push the frontier.  And how same retailers "play it safe" in order to attract a mainstream audience. 

I like the overall discussion, and should probably do some more thinking about it, but, as usual, my immediate focus is on square toed shoes... and the post on The Coherent uses square toed shoes as an example of a mainstream fashion that retailers are not pushing out of the mainstream. 

I don't know, I am rambling because I spent 12 hours and $1,500 at Mohegan Sun last night and I am a mess...

A sad prediction from March 2006

Just read this post from blogger Anthony Bradley where he references a Cargo Magazine piece in March 2006 about square toe shoes for men being phased out as a fashion statement.  Of course we hope that is not true! 

Cargomag.com no longer exists, so maybe they didn't have all the answers...

Impress in the Boardroom, then in the Bedroom

Men's shoes may be a bit boring.  But, wearing the right shoe during the work day can lead to a nice weeknight treat.  Imagine you dress sharp for a meeting, wearing these shoes of course, and then after work you go for drinks with the boys.  You spot a little vixen checking you out.  You work your magic, she's impressed with the whole package (shoes and bulge), and your weeknight just became a story to tell the guys...

Shoe details:

Squared toe, four eyelet blucher oxford in calfskin uppers. Center seam detail on vamp. Padded heel collar, and cushioned insole for comfort. Smooth leather outsole.
