At a certain point in the summer — or any time of year that calls for sliding into a pair of the best men’s sneakers — it’s great to have options. And as far as options are concerned, a pair of sleek, dressy-yet-versatile white leather sneakers are tough to beat, like the option pictured above from Beckett Simonon. Sure, they’re less casual and less durable than your trusty canvas sneakers, but bear with me.
When crafted the right way (and cared for properly), sneakers like the Beckett Simonon Reid Sneakers can add a jolt of refreshing style to carry you through the dog days of summer.
These made-to-order sneakers hail from the same brand making some of the best men’s boots, a brand that does it by cutting out the middleman and passing those savings directly onto consumers (stylish consumers like yourself, of course).
I’ve found Beckett Simonon men’s boots to be the right mix of durable, ever-so-slightly rugged and refined — these sneakers are more practical for summer however, and just as well-made. These handcrafted men’s sneakers boast handsome, supple full-grain leather, along with what the brand calls a refined toe box and shape for crisp, clean style.
The Beckett Simonon Reid Sneakers, in my experience, are also ultra-comfortable rather than cumbersome, and that’s thanks to a leather-lined insole and a padded heel collar. Helpfully, the Beckett Simonon Reid Sneakers also feature a taller instep for even greater comfort, and that holds true no matter the color option you select.
Take your pick from timeless black-and-white combos or else up the ante with a sporty mix of navy and white leather atop a gum rubber sole. Given the mix of comfort, value and classically cool good looks, I’ve found they’re might not be a better footwear value on the market at present than the Beckett Simonon Reid Sneakers — try a pair on for size and see for yourself.
