Several years ago when I was in my late 50’s I wore a pair of gray canvas Vans to a family barbecue. The shoes were (I thought) very understated and minimal. A cousin in her twenties looks at me, looks at my sneakers and says, “Well, they’re not TOO young for you.” So now whenever I wear them, I make a point of how youthful I’m feeling that day.

@danielschaeffer1294 2 года назад

Good choices. If you don’t mind a few extra comments, I live in St. Louis, where the weather is notoriously extreme, so, a comfort tip for your American viewers. Leather passes heat. If you wear leather soles on a hot summer sidewalk your feet will be slowly broiled, and correspondingly, on a winter sidewalk they’ll turn into icicles. In addition ice or slush in leather soles can send you into the emergency room with broken bones. I plan on buying chukkas in a few weeks from Thursday boots, in dark olive. Just the thing for khakis or jeans.

It was a real day for sneakers today. I went into a nearby town for essentials and popped into a charity shop. There was a pair of brown calf leather sneakers from Oliver Sweeney for £12 and a pair of navy blue suede Zegna Sport trainers for £9. Both pairs have minimal branding, with the only logos being underneath the sole. They are perfect for day to day use when walking around, smart enough to not bring an outfit down but casual enough to not draw too much attention. It's good living near posh people with too much money!

@TheChapsGuide 8 месяцев назад

Bravo. That’s why I like charity shopping in central London.

@wstks-fmworldwide5390 2 года назад

Ash, it is always a pleasure to settle down and enjoy another new video. Thoroughly enjoying your work, tips, and other key advice here in Michigan, USA.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

My pleasure!

@fcaldwell2911 2 года назад

Lots of mens style sources will recommend loafers and boat shoes for summer. But like you I prefer a more conservatively constructed shoe, even if made of canvas!

@jessebechtold2973 2 года назад

Brown suede chukka’s from Thursday Boot Co are certainly my go to for non workdays though a nice pair of low top converse sneakers are always a favorite too!

@pierrecolombo4654 2 года назад

I personally could spend the summer only wearing loafers, there are many styles to choose from!

@verykeen2please 2 года назад

Ash thanks for the update - I think as a Chap one should consider the ethics of ones purchases and for trainers these major chav sweatshop brands and look for fine UK products to set you aside from the masses - just a thought

@dimarcodrahgi5866 2 года назад

What a relaxing and calming video style / channel you have. Breath of fresh air.

@markywellsboy2182 Год назад

Great stuff, Ash, as usual. As mentioned here, I like a deck shoe for some informal occasions, but also have a blue suede wingtip brogue and tan desert Chukka boot that are emerging in the warmer weather. BUT, you are now responsible for me desiring another 3 or 4 pairs of summer foot apparel. Mrs markywellsboy is not going to be pleased!

@VicFlange 2 года назад

Excellent and informative as always! But the glaring omission for me was the classic boat shoe. I recommend Sebago dockside’s or Sperry topsider gold cup…both great quality shoes.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

Great suggestion!

@KeepingWatchUK 2 года назад

I live in either Clark’s desert boots, in suede across various colours (original & best imho) and/or white trainers (Adidas Stan smiths) I also have the Vans skater shoe as you show but at almost 40 myself I’d say,honestly, they are best left to the younger fellas 👍 Loafers/driver shoes plus a sporty/running trainer also good additions I’d say.

@davejw1950 2 года назад

Ah the white leather shoe. I bought my first pair of Adidas Stan Smiths way back in the early 1970's when I was playing tennis. Loved those shoes because they were leather instead of canvas so they were very cool and classy. So last year I was browsing thru an Adidas outlet store and lo and behold, there was a real leather Stan Smith in my size. Needless to say I grabbed the box and payed the extravagant price of $40 and took them to my vehicle and put them on immediately. They still are cool and classy and real leather not the vegan leather.

@Steve-qs9eq 2 года назад

Thursday boots make a great high quality minimal white sneaker.

Sir, I just *roared* with laughter. Life is too short to see men's feet.... I am inclined to agree haha. Many thanks, good day. Oh actually one other thing... I don't know if you know the old emoticon they call oh-seven but it represents a head and arm, and is a tidy analogue for salute over text. 07

@themoderndandy713 2 года назад

My thoughts on summer gentlemen's shoes: Formal - A brown suede shoe, as Ash mentioned. - White bucks. Great, casual summer shoes. - Spectators in brown and white, or black and white. Casual - Loafers are good casual shoes, as they have less material. - Rather than trainers for casual shoes, consider boat shoes, moccasins, or Espadrilles. I don't fully agree on dress boots for summer shoes. The extra material means more layering, and more heat. It probably won't make a huge difference, but personally, I'd stick with dress shoes.

@Molach101 2 года назад

Black and white spectators or correspondents can be rather tricky to work with, either as brogues or loafers. My favourite spectators are brown but with a cream or light coloured canvas, or brown and navy suede. Cheaney make some very nice models called their "Edwin", some are even partly woven

@ronaldpoppe3774 2 года назад

Ash, I must agree the boat shoe is a very good choice I would say in leather or in canvas. Chukka Boots of course are my go to as well as loafers. I personally am not a fan of the leather trainers but if taken care of can give a sharp look. Just don't like seeing guys with dirty trainers with blue jeans pooling around at the bottom of their shoe. I recently got a pair of suede brogues and love them. By the way I really like the pocket square in the waistcoat it's a sharp look very stylish. Cheers Ron

@viclucyzia 2 года назад

I purchased a pair of suede full brogues in light beige/yellow but my favorite are my Grey leather woven Carminas. With a summer suite/jacket attire an eye catcher. I always wanted spectators but the difficulty of polishing them kept me away from buying some.

@ZoomZoom-ng6sn 9 месяцев назад

Suede for summer. Just brush it and you're good to go. Sounds good for me.

@amcluesent 2 года назад

Sandals with white socks are all a chap needs.

@alexanderdylanthomas1891 2 года назад

A great selection Ash! My four summer choices would have to be a pair each of dark brown suede penny loafers, black calf tassel loafers, colour 8 cordovan full strap loafers and white minimal sneakers. Obviously loafer heavy, but summer is a long season here in Sydney… Keep up the great content, and I’m looking forward to the full shoe collection video!

@vincentmartin5046 2 года назад

Good morning all.

@MisterKnightly 2 года назад

Good evening, sir! (Here in Canada anyway!)

@Manuel421 2 года назад

Excellent selections Ash! My personal favorites are loafers and Canvas shoes. Not really a Boat shoe fan but it's personal preference. I could also wear my San born Cap Toe oxfords as well which do feature some broguing. I'm looking to add a suede derby and a Wingtip in the future. Looking forward to the next video thanks again.

@antonylaing2499 2 года назад

I have a near identical pair of suede brogues with red laces - they wear great with a summer shirt. I've also got chukka boots and some canvas shoes which I wear sparingly and try to keep prestine. The only other item in my arsenal is a pair of blue suede loafers, though I only wear them on a few days of the year; in the UK climate I'm not sure they're worth the investment. I've not yet bought leather trainers, but they are definitely a fashion trend and some of the premium minimalist designs look versatile.

@melvinmckinney9120 2 года назад

Nice selection of footwear Ash. I have some Chukka boots and some white sneakers.

@dakotarayprice 2 года назад

I fan of woven leather dress shoes in summer and boat shoes and driving moc

@andrewlosseff2361 2 года назад

Clarks Original in beige color are the best for dry summer months.Black brogues are for cloudy raining weather.But they are not good for swimming pool and resort hot days by the sea

@Sshooter444 2 года назад

I like a leather sneaker, but prefer one without a brand as you say. Also am loving my suede loafers for summer. Bought a pair on ebay for cheap.

@richallan001 2 года назад

I have to admit, in summer when not working I am generally in chinos and a pair of walking shoes, but that's a side effect of my lifestyle. I've managed to get the linen suits out now, so pressing leather loafers into service and leather soled shoes. As winter comes back I'll transition into dainite.

@thewanderer2410 2 года назад

Good morning Ash yet another informative video. I own the Tan suede desert boot and a pair of Brown leather Chukka boots which i wear with my Chino's. Because i wear a size 5 its is quite difficult to find decent boots and shoes in my size. Trainers are not a problem buying. I have to really search for Boots and Shoes that fit me.

@janerkenbrack3373 2 года назад

Good selection. Though I add leather boat shoes, and espadrilles. The latter are really a great option for when wearing shorts or light linen pants.

@guitarplayer5611 2 года назад

Nice shoes!

@bigprettyman3795 2 года назад

Boater shoes? Though many dont like them, I think they are a great summer shoe. Great video Ash!

@johnfaram4684 2 года назад

will be buying some canvas deck shoes👍

@kennethjohnson4838 2 года назад

Great video! I appreciate the inclusion of a pair of white trainers into your summer footwear rotation. Can you offer some detailed tips on keeping trainers clean and looking new?

@user-oi6fy9mo8w 2 года назад

Another excellent and timely video, Ash. Instead of Vans I have a plain black pair of inexpensive canvas deck shoes ('Vty') and a pair of navy Sperry's both very comfortable but casual. I can upgrade the casual level with leather Sperry's. I haven't plucked up the courage to get a pair of plain white canvas shoes or as we would have called them 'gutties' (I'm sure you're familiar with the term as we are of a similar age and background) but being a big Steve McQueen fan they would have to be the 'Superga' brand. Final option a pair of 'Loake' desert boots. I did find what I felt was as near to the colour of desert boots worn by McQueen in the movie Bullitt made by 'Kebo' (colour 'whiskey') but alas cannot find them again in my size (42). I really liked the colour of the 'Jadd' desert boots (tobacco) that you featured in a previous video and the brogues are a classic.Thanks again. I hope you had a good break away.

@paulietv2162 2 года назад

I bought a couple of pairs of Ecco perforated sneakers (Astir and ST.1) and I think they tick all the boxes for great summer shoes to wear with chinos and no-shows - especially if like me you suffer from ankle conditions which mean you need a bit more stability. BTW, love your channel!

@derekstalker1567 2 года назад

I would add to that what I am wearing today Loafers

@TheRustyRazorOriginal 2 года назад

To be honest I've never liked the looks of suede shoes or boots. I go through about 4 pairs of sneakers a year by all of the walking, I walk about 10 to 15km a day for exercise. Have a great day and keep up the hard work Ash

@flasherol3764 2 года назад

Great video, sir.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

Glad you liked it!

@iansoutryer3189 2 года назад

I would also include BRAIDED shoes and BOAT shoes, as they are lightweight enough but include an air of formality sneakers do not possess. And as for desert boots I would recommend a company called JADD shoes - for the simple reason that they are made in the UK and not in India like Clarks.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

I'll check out Jadd, thanks Ash

@nosuchname247 2 года назад

I would add one more kind of shoes, namely espadrilles, but not ordinary ones which look too informal but espadrilles with two eyelets and made of neutral coloured canvas or suede. They look great with chinos or shorts but they are very light and easy in maintenance. To some extend you can consider them as the lightweight version of desert boots :-) Hello from Poland!

@Charlie_Duz 2 года назад

Clark's desert boots were really cheap for years then skyrocketed in price. Clark's went from shoes you wore for school (and got mocked for) to a high end brand. Not sure what happened. 🤔

@marcusolsson202 2 года назад

I think when it comes to canvas sneakers a real classic is the vans authentic first released in 1966.

@javierdiazsantana 2 года назад

I really like the canvas sneaker, maybe with some suede section and stuff. Chukkas and loafers don't seem to work for me. I will surely not use in summer the heavy combat boots, when i wear them in heat i just get home drenched in sweat. Greetings sir

@MuhammadAli-qh8tg 2 года назад

For now I'm a fan of loafers and driving shoes but hate boat shoes. I do need to invest in some 25+ year life shoes and the maintenance kit required tho

@kevinhoughton9134 2 года назад

100% with you on sandals, crocs and the likes, they are a big no no from me.

@morrisdoug6497 2 года назад

I agree with you comment on men's exposed feet.

@alexandrewoelfle6028 2 года назад

Quite an interesting take, by the way might you tell the exact name of those vans' model? It's not the oldskool, nor is it the authentic, I really find that pair interesting and I am wondering if you might be able to help. Thank you so much and great videos overall!

@dko9048 2 года назад

The suede brogues and the desert boots a must, Mmmm but white "pumps" wots next Ash a man United football shirt and a baseball cap🙄

@maxoggle11 2 года назад

I think suede derbies are quite versitile as you can dress them up or down. I'm not keen on all white leather trainers, as they look a bt too youthfull for me. I find the retro runner type of trainer is more comfortable than the tennis shoe type. I'm not really sure about the smart trainer thing, to my mind trainers are casual. I have noticed though that if you look at the marks and spencer chino pictures they are mostley wearing white minimal trainers. I think off white suede looks a bit more stylish. Espadrilles in canvas are quite comfy for those odd days when it gets hot in the uk. I've got two leather soled chukkas in tan and navy from loake and the soles do keep your feet cool in the summer. I also have a pair of Clarks craftsmen goodyear welted brouges in beige suede. I have too much really.

@r7coo 2 года назад

How about a Bass Weejuns loafer or a deck shoe like a Sebago ?

My unpopular opinion for great summer shoes is….. Italian leather sandals paired with linen clothing. I’ve had tons of compliments when I wear that.

@jonathansmith283 2 года назад

@ZoomZoom-ng6sn 9 месяцев назад

I don't like crocs either. My feet and toes don't feel protected in sandals. I'd rather be barefooted than wear flip flops.

@fcaldwell2911 2 года назад

You’re going to get a few comments on those Vans! Chukka boots and white trainers (I like GAT style trainers) are my most worn shoes year round. Even in winter I’ll go for a leather chukka. Although it’s worth noting I don’t dress as formally as you do! All the best, Finn.

@fcaldwell2911 2 года назад

Just to clarify I like the Vans. Good on you for pushing the envelope!

@simonhodgetts6530 2 года назад

Very stylish - and definitely preferable to flip-flops or thongs (I personally find them repulsive)! What are your thoughts on leather sandals - and by that I don’t mean the classic ‘Jesus boot’, but something like a leather lattice style sandal? I’m quite taken with the Russell & Bromley Neptune at the moment.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

I could definitely make an exception for a sandal of that quality.

@stupitt6989 2 года назад

What about crocs? They are a very comfortable and stylish shoe, you can also get them in brown and black colour for the more experienced gentlemen

@iansoutryer3189 2 года назад

I find it hard to reconcile "crocs" with "gentlemen". :-)

@HAPPYDOORS 2 года назад

Plain white trainers & chinos, perfect 👌🏻 I'd burn them adidas immediately.

@c.w.9615 2 года назад

Men in my area have no reservations about exposing their feet near the pool or in the city. I tell myself, "don't look down, don't look down". Inevitably, hairy toes will be captured by my unintended glance. Times like that, I want to call a timeout, and run home.

@marcusscrafton535 2 года назад

White trainers! No, no no. A formal sneaker by Cheaney or Loake, perhaps.

@dakotarayprice 2 года назад

I never dress casual I always dress in a suit

@jamesbailand4311 2 года назад

Here we disagree. Look at all those recommendations... Little narrow effeminate shoes. A man's foot needs to be strong, and strong for our lifetime. That's not going to be the case by binding the foot, to deform it's growth and shape. The toes are meant to be the widest part of the foot. Anything else and you are disabling the foots movement and mobility. Do it long enough and you deform the shape of the foot.

@cfajohnson5207 2 года назад

How can you talk about summer shoes without talking about sandals? I don't mean flip-flops or other minimal styles, but a good fisherman's sandal can be as dressy as any shoe. And yes, they SHOULD be worn with socks.

@TheWeardale1 2 года назад

decks shoes can work, but no man over the age of 25 should be wearing vans..
