See Now, Buy Now: Amberjack Just Introduced a New and Even More Comfortable Take on the Best Men’s Dress Shoes

I’m all about sticking to what you know as the holiday season approaches: That is, staying true to the brands you know, love, respect and wear often, all the while making seasonal wardrobe upgrades that just, well, make sense. At a time of holiday soirees aplenty and seasonal occasions that quite literally call for putting your best foot forward, perhaps a new pair of the best men’s dress shoes is in order, yes?

And what better place to go than New York City upstart Amberjack, a company that’s made waves in recent years for incorporating the comfort of athletic footwear into crisply designed, effortlessly versatile dress shoes? In my experience, Amberjack men’s dress shoes are wildly comfortable and supportive right out of the box, delivering plenty of easy wearability with chinos, corduroy trousers and suiting — and none of the stiff discomfort of more traditional dress shoes.

Shop men’s dress shoes and more at Amberjack

Now, Amberjack has doubled, if not tripled down, so to speak, on that commitment to making some of the most finely crafted yet affordable men’s dress shoes on the market — and they’re doing so now in a silhouette that looks much more traditional on the outside, yet performs just as well underfoot.

If you’re already a fan of Amberjack and its lineup — which runs the gamut from tasteful leather sneakers to sleek leather Chelsea boots and a pair of sturdy yet supple leather chukka boots — you’d do very well, at least in my book, to check out the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes. They just hit the upstart’s online store on the heels of (pun intended) the very well-received Amberjack Black Friday Sale, another prime time to shop some of the best new dress shoes.

But let’s get down to business, from the ground up, as far as your new favorite dress shoes are concerned. While other Amberjack dress shoes deliver a bit more of a sporty hybrid dress shoe look, the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes are classic in every sense of the word, boasting cap toe stitching and a traditional stacked heel design.

That outsole also uses more classic Blake stitch construction, while the upper is certified sustainable leather in Amberjack’s signature shades, like highly versatile Chestnut and a richly crafted, eye-catching and brogue-detailed Honey variation.

As someone who’s worn everything from Amberjack loafers to its Chelsea boots, its Original dress shoes and the very stylish Amberjack Chukka Boots, it’s a safe bet to say the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes should deliver outstanding comfort and exceptional wearability right out of the box — that’s no joke, my friends.

Shop Amberjack dress shoes ASAP

The Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes also feature a moisture-wicking Lyrca lining, similar to athletic footwear, for all-day comfort on your feet — from the trade show floor to meetings to post-work drinks, my friends.

The StealthFlex outsole, a proprietary lightweight design, delivers the kind of grip and support you need for yours on end, at least in my experience. And with their clean silhouette and natural full-grain leather upper, I’d wager you’ll get plenty of wear — and then some — from the handsome Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes this holiday season (and well beyond). Lace ’em up and let me know what you think, folks.

When I hit the market searching for a pair of the best men’s shoes, period, I look for durable, dependable shoes that fill a need in multiple style situations. After all, not every guy needs to lace up ultra-slick dress shoes every single day, and that’s where Huckberry’s wares enter the fray.

Learn more now and shop men’s shoes at Huckberry

In my book, sometimes, a pair of stylish chukka boots, some of the best Chelsea boots or even slightly more casual leather derby shoes will suffice. So it goes with Astorflex and the new, fast-selling Astorflex Redflex Derby Shoes.

The derby shoe features open lacing and a slightly more casual profile — the kind that looks as serviceable and stylish with dark blue jeans as it does with stretch chinos and perhaps even a tailored wool suit. There’s also a contrasting sole and a studded outsole for a touch more casual style.

And because they hail from Huckberry-approved brand Astorflex — family-owned Italian footwear makers with generations of experience and a penchant for using sustainable materials — you can rest easy knowing that quality remains paramount.

The Redflex Derby Shoes use a handsome vegetable-tanned leather upper paired with a memory foam insole, and the leather itself looks to be the kind that both shines up cleanly and gets even better with age.

Handcrafted construction also sets these versatile shoes apart, while the profile and style is the kind you can wear multiple times a week, in multiple situations, without missing a beat. Pairs of these stylish new shoes from Huckberry are selling quickly though, so act accordingly and wear ’em as often as you please — with indigo denim, with tan chinos and more, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The FRYE Carter Oxfords Are the Ideal Transitional Dress Shoe this Season

Spring brings with it prime time to dust off some reliable menswear essentials and try out a few new ones along the way, especially in your footwear rotation. While spring rain boots and even casually cool spring high-top sneakers are must-haves, the right pair of stylish men’s dress shoes — perhaps from a brand that even makes some of the best boots for men — can also prove a must-have.

After all, when temperatures start to climb, sometimes, leather dress boots aren’t always the best choice, and that’s where FRYE enters the equation with its heritage-quality, finely crafted leather dress shoes.

And the FRYE Carter Oxford Shoes are the right change of pace for a new season, with a rugged-meets-refined appeal that’s ideal for everything from business casual style to dressing up a pair of stretch light wash denim.

These richly crafted leather dress shoes toe the line between an ultra-sleek pair of dress shoes and something a bit more laidback, which makes them a prime choice for a variety of spring pursuits — from the office to Sunday brunch and beyond.

Learn more now at FRYE

It starts from the ground up, literally, with the use of vintage-inspired leather with a buttery-soft leather lining. What really gives the FRYE Carter Oxford Shoes their casually cool appeal is a crepe rubber outsole, not unlike the kind found on your favorite chukka boots. That makes these handsome dress shoes easier to wear with rolled light wash denim or even dark blue jeans alongside your favorite chambray shirt, for instance.

Best dress shoes for men to buy this spring.

The Carter Oxford Shoes are available in Black, Bark or even a Vintage Fog suede option, all the better for versatility in your wardrobe. And no matter the color you select, I’d wager you’ll find yourself reaching for them often — be it with stretch olive chinos or your go-to daily jeans and a lightweight cotton blazer. When a stylish change of pace is in order for your next laidback-yet-sharp spring look, make sure you’re lacing up the FRYE Carter Oxford Shoes.

See Now, Buy Now: Lace Up Amberjack Dress Shoes for Your Next Summer Wedding

We’ve all been there during a summer wedding (or indeed, any extra-long day on your feet at the office or on the road). Your shoes, well, they’re killing you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Actually, my good friend, there is indeed something that can be done about it before it’s too late.

Step into a pair of the best men’s dress shoes, or rather, an ultra-comfortable, stylish pair that’s been called “the most advanced dress shoes” out there (shoutout to GQ for that one).

The shoes in question are hitting your wardrobe via Amberjack, a brand that I’ve tried out and certainly vouch for if you want to upgrade your rotation of stylish men’s dress shoes.

Learn more now at Amberjack

In my personal experience with Amberjack dress shoes and Amberjack’s stylish Chelsea boots, the brand lives up to its billing: The right combination of performance technology, plus standout style for your next summer wedding — or again, any time you’re facing the prospect of hours upon hours standing up.

To wit: The Amberjack Original Shoes feature the familiar silhouette of classic Oxford dress shoes, with open lacing and a streamlined silhouette that still offers some nice space in the toe and throughout the shoe. That’s where they differ from most other men’s dress shoes on the market. The key with the Amberjack Original Shoes is the athletic outsole, plus a heat-activated insole that delivers energy, rebound and cushioning.

Beyond that the Amberjack Original Shoes also boast buckskin lining for comfort — in my experience, they’re not too stuffy or flimsy to wear in the heat to a summer wedding or a day of meetings in the city. Plus, the Amberjack Original Shoes are available in a whopping range of colors and styles — 11 leather and suede options in total are available, delivering something for every taste.

I prefer the Amberjack Original Shoes in Chestnut Leather for maximum versatility in business casual style situations, but there’s also a handsome Slate Grey Suede option, not to mention a Grizzly Tan Suede style.

Shop Amberjack dress shoes now

The Amberjack Original Shoes are, in my opinion, the perfect mix of sporty-meets-casual, comfortable-meets-stylish. You need them on your feet at your next summer wedding, and the rest of the season ahead, too.

My friends, congratulations on making it through the first full week of 2021! Are you starting to feel like you’ve shaken off that 2020 hangover, shaken off some rust and are moving full-speed ahead into a new year with today’s Friday Read? I’m getting there slowly but surely, step by step you might say, and it’s all possible with the right approach, right mindset and in some cases, the right menswear (take the Bruno Magli Positano Loafers as seen above). With so many of us working from home still, there are options aplenty when it comes to stylish footwear to wear at home, and if you feel like upping your game a little bit (think slim blue jeans and a tailored Oxford shirt on certain days), it’s hard to go wrong with some of the best men’s leather loafers to really complete your look. At least, that’s just my take.

We’ll also dive in today into a few other helpful menswear picks for a new year, so keep on scrolling.

With a free home try-on program and multiple cuts for the perfect fit, these are some of the best jeans for men you can step into right now, mark my words.

A classically rugged base layer and a stylish long-sleeve tee in its own right.

There are any number of ways you could go as we start a new year when it comes to rugged style that’s still laidback and versatile, but one of the coolest ways I’ve come across recently is shown above. And my friends, the Freemans Sporting Club Homespun Gym Tee could become one of your new favorite T-shirts for weekend wear and daily style. You can wear this stylish long-sleeve T-shirt all on its own thanks to the cotton waffle fabric, or else layered beneath a rugged flannel shirt or worn with a zip hoodie, all without missing a beat. Go forward and layer up in cozy style, folks.
Here’s a fun one to start the weekend — lace up your new favorite pair of boots with my GearMoose guide to the best moc toe boots, featuring plenty of brands you know and love. Every guy needs a great pair of boots, and my latest dispatch is a pretty solid place to start.

See Now, Buy Now: These Stylish Leather Dress Shoes from HELM Are a New Must-Buy

Cool, classic dress shoes in handsome leather.

There are some things that shouldn’t be overlooked as we roll through summer — namely, you’re still going to need some of the best leather dress shoes on your feet, particularly as we all return (very slowly but surely) to dressier environments. That’s why it’s time for our second, easy-to-buy entry this week in our See Now, Buy Now series. Luckily for you and me, HELM Boots is here to amp your style after quarantine with some of the best men’s dress shoes: The HELM Boots Nils Wheat Dress Shoes are one-of-a-kind, checking all the right boxes when it comes to dependable, dressy-yet-versatile style. As it were, HELM Boots already makes, well, your favorite rugged leather boots (see this post for more background), yet these stylish leather dress shoes carry that same DNA in a lower-profile offering.

As with any offering from HELM, it starts with quality construction for long-lasting style. In this case, that means Blake rapid-stitch construction (which stitches through the outsole, insole and exterior of the shoe) and handsome Castello leather in a cool Wheat colorway, to go along with a tough mini-lug rubber sole. That means these are some of the best dress shoes — for the guy who has a tough time putting away his leather boots (guilty as charged). Oh, and if you’re new to HELM Boots? Remember that you can get $50 off your first pair, plus free shipping, if you pick these up.

SHOP: The HELM Boots Nils Wheat Dress Shoes

A sharp, rugged-yet-dressy silhouette for summer wearing occasions.

When it really comes down to it, tough-yet-versatile leather dress shoes are tough to come by — so when you find a pair like these, you really should act quickly. You can wear the HELM Boots Nils Wheat Dress Shoes with casual classics — think dark indigo denim, rolled at the ankle, alongside your favorite Oxford shirt. You can also rock these durable dress shoes as they were intended to be worn: With sharp-as-can-be picks like tailored chinos (I love Todd Snyder chinos, FYI!) and a timeless polo. When you really want to step up your game, of course, the HELM Boots Nils Wheat Dress Shoes can be worn alongside a tailored khaki cotton suit (again, Todd Snyder‘s your go-to for one of the best men’s suits, while we’re on the topic). And because that Wheat leather is rich but dependable, you can rest assured that these are dress shoes you can wear in the fall, too — just team them with your favorite denim shirt and a classic cardigan, plus that same pair of dark indigo denim. Now then: Dress shoes that can do it all? That’s what you’re getting here, folks. Happy shopping.

It’s hard to believe we’re rolling into July right now, and that means you assuredly need to sort out your summer footwear rotation — start with some of the best shoes for summer from revered American footwear maker Florsheim.

They strike the right balance between casual and work day-friendly, particularly helpful if you want stylish men’s shoes that can easily switch from your home office (or regular office!) to the back patio with ease. What’s more, these classic Oxford shoes are a fresh and modern take on the style — it starts with the use of a lightweight canvas upper with leather accents, as opposed to a full leather design (nothing wrong with that, though!). Plus, they come in four cool, neutral colors. That makes ’em the perfect lightweight dress shoes for summer, folks. Heck, they also retail for under $100 — so, yes, let’s call them some of the best dress shoes under $100, too. But that’s far from it, if we’re being honest (keep scrolling!).

One of four must-have colors when it comes to these Florsheim Oxfords.

That’s especially the case when worn with easygoing summer style essentials like slim tan chinos and a navy slub polo or a classic slub tee. The use of Suedetec lining makes them easy to wear with no-show socks and rolled light wash denim, too. And let’s not count out the comfort factor, either — the Florsheim Highland Canvas Oxfords are designed with a cushioned EVA sole and feature a rubber heel. That makes them some of the best dress shoes for summer, a time when your daily routine might call for being on your feet for hours on end. When you want to switch out your sneakers or leather loafers, go for the Florsheim Highland Canvas Oxfords — it really is that easy.

Online Shopping Picks: Stylish Men’s Dress Shoes to Shop Now

As I clicked back through The Style Guide archives to prep for this post, I realized it had been far too long since we’d covered stylish men’s dress shoes on the blog. Like, nearly two years too long! A lot can happen in two years, folks. Of course, what can also happen in two years? Nothing at all. As in — if you buy an investment-worthy pair of men’s dress shoes from the below list, you’ll be able to wear that pair frequently, day after day, with no need to trade ’em for a new pair. That’s the beauty of buying quality and paying a bit more, as you’ll see from the below list. We aimed for a mix of versatility and utility throughout the seasons — whether you’re suiting up for winter or dressed in classic spring style, the below picks should cover you for situations where you need to look sharp and feel comfortable. And with situations like spring and summer weddings come up, a dress shoe refresh could be in order. There’s certainly a lot of technical minutiae when it comes to different types of men’s dress shoes . From the functional roots of wingtip brogues (the brogue detailing was meant to provide breathability in the rain) to the durable nature of a dress chukka boot, there’s a lot of ground to cover (pun intended). However, we’re going to focus on the basics: Shoes that look great with everything from a suit to chinos and a blazer, and perform just as well as you’d expect. If you’ve got additions to the list or thoughts, tweet at me incessantly on Twitter or leave a comment below. Happy shopping!

#1. Allen Edmonds Liverpool Chelsea Suede Boots — $445

The versatile and refined dress boot you didn’t know you needed.

Can suede Chelsea boots serve the same purpose as classic dress shoes? They certainly can, and I’m here to tell you why. Coming from the craftsmen at Allen Edmonds — who certainly know a thing or two about handsome footwear — the suede Chelsea boot becomes something more than an of-the-moment pair of footwear. Built on the refined 943B last, this is a pair of dress boots as crisp as any on the market, made with high-quality brown suede, Goodyear welt construction and versatile looks (I wore mine with light wash denim and a navy blazer recently, for reference).

#2. Grant Stone Long Wing in British Tan Calf — $334.95

Striking dress shoes made to break in over time — beautifully done by Grant Stone.

We mentioned before that we’d dive into some investment-level dress shoe options, right? Well, here’s one for you — feast your eyes on the stunning, stylish and pricey Grant Stone Long Wing in British Tan Calf. These shoes definitely have a lot going for them — from the striking British Tan color to the eye-catching long wing detailing and a refined silhouette, it’s about as good as it gets. The Grant Stone Long Wing is made with a Goodyear welt and also designed to mold to your foot over time. The more you wear the Grant Stone Long Wing, the better they get.

#3. Allen Edmonds Park Avenue Cap Toe Oxfords — $395

It’s hard to beat classic brown leather cap toe Oxfords from Allen Edmonds.

For absolutely beautiful footwear that’s made with the utmost attention to care, look toward Allen Edmonds. The Park Avenue Cap Toe Oxford is, simply put, a heck of a dress shoe. Available in shades ranging from crisp black (suitable enough for the most formal occasions) to an intriguing navy leather, the classic shade of brown seen above is a safe bet to become your new go-to dress shoe. Minimal enough to wear with a suit and still able to work with dark blue denim and a V-neck sweater, they’re certainly worth the investment.

#4. Ankari Floruss Brogue Derby in Black — $182.98

A classic black long wing that works for business casual and ultra-formal situations.

If you’re quick on the uptake, you might notice that we hadn’t featured any black leather dress shoes to this point — that’s changing with these fine brogue derbies from Ankari Floruss. A recent addition to the men’s E-commerce game, Ankari Floruss is the work of noted menswear bloggers Moti Ankari and Marcel Floruss. Give them both a follow — these are some stylish fellas who know how to put together an outfit. And they can do footwear, too — with the Brogue Derby, you’re getting style that’s sharp as a razor and ready to be worn with your favorite navy or charcoal suit.

#5. Sebago Heritage Tassel Loafers — $115

A prep staple that can be dressed up in the warmer months? Not too good to be true.

We’re continuing to buck the mold of traditional dress shoes here by recommending stylish leather loafers. Try wearing them just as you would brown leather wingtips — that is to say, with essential business casual favorites like slim khaki chinos and a navy blazer. In the spring and summer, they’re a way to keep your feet cool while still looking crisp and tailored. And coming from Sebago, you get a great price and excellent quality — I took the Heritage Tassel Loafers on an upstate Memorial Day trip last year and was mighty pleased. Shop away!

Honorable Mention: Nisolo Emilio Chukka Boot in Noir — $169.98

A chukka boot that can be dressed up or down.

Thanks for sticking with us until the end — but we’re not done yet! Perhaps you prefer style that’s a bit more rugged — yet still able to be dressed up. Your Style Guide author is right there with you, hence the inclusion of the tough, well-made and uniquely stylish Nisolo Emilio Chukka Boot. Granted, the Emilio Chukka Boot is a classic open-lace chukka boot, which is naturally more casual in nature. However, the silhouette is sleek enough that you could easily wear it with stylish light wash denim or slim chinos and a classic blazer — not to mention a winter-friendly suit later on this year.

That’ll do it for this week’s Online Shopping Picks entry. With any luck, you’re well on your way to snapping up some new dress shoes. In addition to classic, timeless picks like a well-designed Oxford, it pays to consider more unique options like the Allen Edmonds Liverpool Chelsea Boot. Beautiful, classic dress shoes like the Grant Stone Long Wing are just as worthy of your time and hard-earned dollars, and you could do worse than buying a pair of sleek black dress shoes like the Ankari Floruss Brogue Derby. Keep in mind that beautifully made dress shoes should give you plenty of wearability, too — with the right mindset, investment-worthy dress shoes can work with dark denim and a casual navy blazer just as easily as with a light grey suit. The first step is just buying the right ones.

Enjoy the quest for your perfect pair dress shoes,

-Beau
