With the merging of business casual in the workplace and beyond, there is a fine line between dressy and casual shoes. Many shoes can pass for both dressy and less formal occasions, and can go with everything from chinos and jeans to a suit. The trend in dress shoes is more of a square toe (as seen in the Prada line), rather than wingtips. Shoes are more square and wide rather than narrow and round -- this goes for both laced shoes or loafers. As for the sole, the wedge heel has crept into men's shoes styles. There are still shoes that have a separate heel, but you'll find shoes that have a wedge, and rubbery heel (wedge heel means that the sole resembles one platform, rather than a separated heel and toe -- and looks like, well, a wedge).
If you want to dress down your shoes, opt for a rubber sole rather than wood.

Men, allow me to let you in on a little secret. Shoes can literally make or break an entire outfit -- this cannot be stressed enough. And this isn't only essential when it comes to women, but it's also crucial when applying for a job, and going out on the town with friends. If you want others to be impressed when they look you over, you'd better make sure your shoes match the rest of your outfit, and that they are of the latest style. This means that it's time to get rid of your desert boots and Doc Martens.
So here is the rundown of fashionable shoes presently in the dressy, casual and sporty departments, for all of you with a real foot fetish.
