Perfect, Comfortable, Summer Shoe.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hey guys I've been lurking around the forums for a while but I've been wondering what the perfect summer shoe that fits both comfort and style. Style, not fashion. I'm looking for a shoe that would always be in style. From what I gather moccasins, loafers and boat shoes are staples for summer however it seems that people are wearing desert boots as well? I'm not sure if that's a trend, it seems odd to be wearing boots for the summer, however from  a comfort point of view that would be nice, means I can wear ankle socks which are much more comfy than no show socks.

 

With moccasins, loafers and boat shoes ankle socks would show and I would have to wear no show socks (I always have to wear socks). Also guys I dont know if this changes anything I have orthotics and am currently a college student. Also what colours would you guys suggest? 

 

I do want to be able to wear shorts as it can get very hot over here

 

I know rockport isn't the most stylish of brands but I've been looking into their stuff, please take note that I am a college student and everything is outrageously marked up here in Sydney.

Summer shoes should be unlined, for one thing, as that wears cooler. Unlined suede wears cooler than leather, which is why desert boots are not as willy as they may appear at first glance. But loafers are the most prevalent.

Avoid cordovan as the same water resistant properties that make it a good choice for rainy season limit its usefulness in hot weather. Same with boat shoes if you're not boating. They look good with sumemr clothes but they are not cool wearing.

If I were to get desert boots, what colour would you recommend? Anyone else agree to wearing desert boots in summer with shorts?
