A sandal may have a sole made from rubber, leather, wood, tatami or rope. It may be held to the foot by a narrow thong that generally passes between the first and second toe, or by a strap or lace, variously called a latchet, sabot strap or sandal, that passes over the arch of the foot or around the ankle. A sandal may or may not have a heel (either low or high) and/or heel strap.

In college, I learned the value of proper work boots working while working at a tree nursery. When working 10-hour days lugging 150-pound balled and burlapped trees around you learn very quickly how important ankle stability, toe protection, and proper traction is. Like a knight’s armor, you want a pair of boots in your arsenal so that you, a.) can rough up and get as dirty as possible without giving a shit, and b.) can drop something heavy on your toe without fracturing any bones. Proper sole traction for digging your feet in the ground and not slipping is also a must. Even if you only use them every now and then, every Bro needs boots that are work-site ready; you never know when your buddy is going to ask you to help him replace a deck, dig out that koi pond, or lay a brick patio. Stick with the classic work boot brands: Carhartt, Wolverine, Danner, Red Wing, Timberland, etc.

Loafers

A solid pair of loafers are shoes every man needs. They’re best if you’re an office jockey who needs semi-formal outfits at work to keep HR off your back. Leather driving loafers (or mocs) are just as comfortable as a solid pair of boatshoes without giving off the “I’d-rather-be-tossing-the-lax-ball-on-the-fratcastle-lawn” vibe. Some come with tassels, some come with buckles, and some are just plain leather. You do you when it comes to ornamentation. Anything you can keep clean and slip in at the start of your work day gets the job done.
