Guys, think about it: what defines you as a man? We are not talking about your personal responsibilities or that nice beard that makes you masculine; we are talking about your shoe game! Ask any lady, and they will tell you that the pair you adorn – whether for work or a social event. The shoe you wear plays a huge role in determining whether you get their number or not. Go ahead and ask your girl, and the answer will be the same.

The Foremen, a popular high-end men’s footwear store in Kenya knows this perfectly well, and that’s why they have invested time and resources to redefine the modern-day men’s shoe game, bringing you some awesome pairs that blend in any occasion.

The Foremen story began in 2013 in the historic streets of Istanbul, drawing inspiration from the stylish and elegant residents, whose shoes were “well structured, high quality and aesthetics were paramount with no detail left to chance. ”

A Look at the Footwear Industry

Here are some interesting facts. Remember Prada Sports somewhere between 1998 and 1999? Well, that was 22 years ago, when the footwear industry experienced a massive change. Prada became one of the most popular shoe brands by introducing a unique sports collection that made other big fashion companies follow suit. It’s said that the footwear industry experiences a massive change in style every 20 years.

Now, fast-forward huge changes have been experienced in the fashion industry. When it comes to dressing shoes, especially, brands have re-introduced older designs, making them even more adorable for the gentlemen that care much about their shoe game. You can find stunning lace-up shoes, slip-on, monk strap shoes, .loafers, and, of course, the popular Chelsea boots that blend well in any occasion — be it a wedding, office wear, or just a casual shoe worn with a nice pair of jeans.

Importance of Dress Shoes and why they Matter for The Foremen

What is the one thing that you wear that fits the description below?

  • Sharpens your style
  • Is a status symbol
  • Women love and know it

Got an idea? No? Well, the answer is Shoes (dress shoes, for that matter)! You see, just as mentioned above, shoes are a key ingredient when it comes to every man’s style, and here’s why:

  • A good pair shows your status!

That’s right. Since time immemorial, shoes have played a significant role in people’s status. Hannibal Lecter, for instance, could determine what kind of background Clarice Starling came from by just looking at their shoes.

  • A good pair represents your attention to detail

Ladies will tell you this better — they can know how organized you are by just looking at your shoe game. Men have learned to care about their shoes, going beyond that nice combination of trousers, shirts, and jackets. They now adorn stylish pairs and prove they have a sharp eye for the small details. Call them sophisticated!

  • A good pair makes you appear sharp

From head all the way down to the toe, a nice pair of shoes will bring your A-game when it comes to style. It’s actually the “wow” factor.

Comfort and style are two of the most important aspects to look for in a shoe. A wrong pair of shoes can make even the classiest outfit look trashy and the right pair can make the simplest outfits stand out.

Three Must-Have Shoes In Every Guy’s Wardrobe

  • Black Dress Shoes

These are a classic. Simple, Stylish and Comfortable. Can be paired with suits, denim and chinos. Perfect for either a formal or a casual affair. There are few things that don’t team up well with Black. The Foremen offer a variety of black shoes,  from loafers, brogues, oxfords, monk straps, moccasins, derby shoes and so on.

  • Brown Dress Shoes

These are huge alternatives to black shoes. They look rich and compliment most of your outfits very well, allowing you to switch it up and experiment a little.

  • Boots

These have an allure and are extremely attractive. They work great with casuals and can be teamed with jeans, cargos and corduroys. The Foremen offers a wide range, from ankle-length boots, chukkas, Chelsea’s, desert snub nose fry, riding boots, army boots, cowboy boots, motorcycle boots… They will also make you look taller.

The Foremen allow you to stand out with some of the best stylish shoes. They make high-end shoes from top brands in the world affordable, allowing you to turn heads when you grace any occasion. The company dares to be unique and different. Unlike other brands out there, the Foremen deals in luxury shoes, selling them directly to you so that you won’t incur costs of packaging, middlemen, and mass distribution.  You get quality, comfort, mobility, and most importantly, variety!
