Espadrilles make a wonderful summer shoe. They can be dressed up or down easily, come in tons of colors and patterns, and are fun without being too fun. Yet, the world of espadrilles seems to be divided into two camps. You have the super cheap and inexpensive options that fall apart right as you begin really liking them (these are usually between $15 - $30), and you have the absurdly expensive options that have suede uppers, all sorts of fancy designs, and would simply never do for a day at the beach (these can be anywhere from $95 to $400)…

Sure, the world is a bit crazy right now. And, especially with the cooler months ahead, we’re all spending more time inside than we would perhaps like to. But we still have to run out now and then. Groceries, taking out the trash, going for a quick walk around the block, and so on…
Read moreLooking For A Great, Sharp, Black Dress Shoe? Look No Further Than Beckett Simonon
We’ve taken a look at Beckett Simonon shoes here on the site before in the past. The long and short of it is that they make super high quality shoes at extremely reasonable prices. The catch is that they take a super long time to ship, as they essentially follow a “Kickstarter” model for all their shoes…

Read moreWe Found The Perfect Summer Espadrilles
If you’re a size 11.5 foot (or anything around there) good luck finding a decent pair of espadrilles for the summer. In my mind, espadrilles are meant to be super simple. Perfect to lazily slip on for a trip to the supermarket, or for a family BBQ. They should be quite inexpensive, meant to be beaten to hell and not much cared about, and the replaced when need be. There should be no fuss…

The much beloved DTC boot company called Thursday Boot Co. has recently just expanded into making men’s dress shoes as well. Of course, this is a natural brand extension for them, but that doesn’t mean that they would do a great job necessarily…

If you are a frequent reader of this site, you are no doubt aware that men’s subscription boxes are all the rage these days. And we have spent quite a bit of time trying to separate the good from the bad in that area. Now, GQ seems to want to get in on all the action with their own subscription box called their “Best Stuff Box.”...
Read moreZara Haul Try-On & Review
I have been a Zara hater for a very long time. My general qualm with Zara has always been that their prices are completely unjustifiable. For the price you spend at Zara, I always argued that you could do just as well at a better price between Uniqlo (for basics), H&M, J. Crew Factory, Banana, GAP and (now) Primark...
