When the sun is shining and temperatures rise, it's time to put away the trousers and embrace the comfort of shorts. But finding the right shoes to pair with men's shorts can be a bit of a style conundrum. As a sophisticated gentleman with an eye for style, you understand that every detail matters when it comes to your outfit.
One of the things that sets Barker Shoes apart from other shoe companies is our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible shopping experience. Our flagship store is located on Regent Street, which is known for its luxury brands and vast array of shops.
Selecting a Barker shoe style consists of considering the shoe style, colour, fitting and last shape but then there’s the choice of sole. Traditionally Barker shoes are made using the Goodyear welted construction in the Earls Barton factory with a full leather sole. Leather is perhaps the best all round material for soles as it’s natural composition means it’s breathable and comfortable on foot due to the leather moulding to the shape of your feet.
Dressing for the office over the years has seen the acceptance of different shoe styles in the workplace. The business staple Oxford shoe remains a favourite in many men’s wardrobe or shoe racks but the COVID-19 Pandemic in particular has broadened work attire styling such as the allowance of sneakers.
As the UK starts to plan ahead following the latest relaxing of the COVID-19 restrictions the return of off Weddings, formal events or simply going back to the office has been welcomed by shoe enthusiasts as it’s meant we can make use of our shoe collections again. It has long been said that investing in a quality pair of Goodyear welted shoes is a wise decision especially when it comes to a formal dress shoe.
