Need Shoe Help Please

[raiderfan]

Hey Y'all,


I am a complete idiot when it comes to dressing. Im a 23 year old college student studying education and I teach 3 days a week. Im one of like 5 guys in the program. Rest is all sorority girls. Over the last year I have started to dress much better due to the fact that Im always in a school or class full of woman.


Im trying to find a shoe that would pretty much go with anything (if possible). When I teach I usually wear some chinos or khaki jeans with a plain t or collared shirt. Colors always vary.


Any recommendations? Dont want to pay too much, preferably under $100 since I will be around kids in a school a lot.


Thanks,

CJ

Have you seen this article?

Hi Raider fan: A very versatile piece of for your purposes would be a plain brown blucher shoe such as:





The blucher design implies a sense of more casualness which will vibe well with your chinos and work environment of a teacher. Bluchers also look great with jeans. A plain design is also good because it doesn't sound like you want to start building a massive shoe collection, so it's got a more implicit subtle look to it.

I like the look of those, thanks!


Any input on casual sneakers would help as well.

There are a lot of threads on here about casual shoes if you look, but you can always do some sort of boat shoe or chukka to up the ante a bit. It will just look better in most settings. Other wise look into Jack Purcells and the like.

I've thought the Tretorn stuff has looked nice. They seem to be on sale quite often. They have a bunch on Jackthreads right now for cheap.

Those look good, Acoustic!


Can get something less polished too that would look okay without routine care.
