This is a must-have trendy shoes, especially the lace-up edition. What I love about leather boots is that as the shoe gets older, it starts telling a story.
My preference is ankle-high boots in dark brown. Whenever you are up for a conservative look, pull your trousers over the boots. Find yourself a quality pair that will last for years.

7: Double Monk Strap Shoes
Monk strap trendy shoes have a mysterious origin. Some believe their roots come from the monks who lived in the Swiss Alps who created a sandal that was similar to monk strap shoes. This was back in the 15 century.
Later on, Englishmen adopted this style leading to the formation of monk strap shoes. It was in the 1900s when these shoes became an imperative part of the men’s wardrobe.
Originally, the world was introduced to single monk strap shoes, which must have looked so weird, right! If you would like people to admire you for your gentleman-like approach, invest in double Monk straps. These days, you can find them in different buckle placements for a unique yet stylish appeal.
8: Chelsea Boots
This list wouldn’t have been complete without Chelsea boots. These boots are loved for their elastic sides that make them easy to wear and take off. Every man over 30 needs to have them in their shoe wardrobe.

Then, the Beatles and The Rolling Stones contributed to their popularity by having customized pairs made for them. After this, Chelsea boots spread throughout the world.
Now, Chelsea boots come in lots of different styles. If you are up for buying them, ditch suede and go for leather. It makes them look more versatile.
9: Espadrilles
Espadrille is a name derived from Esparto, which is coarse grass found in North Africa and Spain. It’s used for making high-quality paper, rope, and the sole of these shoes.
