Shoes any Dad Would Love

With Father’s Day right around the corner, there’s always the question of what to get for dad. Sure, you can get him another tie or a tool that he’ll add to his collection, but why not try something different this year? How about some (actually fashionable) comfortable shoes that he’ll look great in? Dads can have a really hard time shopping for themselves and sometimes they need a little help when it comes to picking out clothing and shoes that complement their physique and are actually more contemporary then those twenty-year old penny loafers he’s been saving.

The first thing to consider when shoe shopping for your father is what kind of activities he enjoys. Is your dad an outdoors guy? Is he active and sporty? What does he do in his spare time? The answers to these questions will help you determine the ideal shoe for his needs. For a guy that likes comfort (who doesn’t?) on the weekends, Born shoes have some really great styles to fit his lifestyle. They’ve got everything from uber-comfortable leather sandals to distressed looking loafers that are sure to garner some compliment. The best thing for you is that discount Born shoes are available online, so all you have to do is point and click, and then wait for them to be delivered. No long lines in the men’s department or wandering aimlessly around the mall in search of that perfect gift.

For all those fashion-forward dads out there, Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes would truly make the perfect gift. The classic American designs come in styles ranging from broken-in driving moccasins to casual leather boots to high top sneakers and are the epitome of laid back cool. Kenneth Cole offers shoes that work for day or night, and many styles are versatile enough to be worn for both. If you come through with a pair of these kicks, your dad will pleasantly surprised.

For young hip dads, skate shoes are an interesting choice. Although some brands are definitely more skewed towards a teenage audience, more and more styles now are reminiscent of the retro trends that were popular during the 70s. Brand like DC Shoe Co. offer a wide variety of styles, but your best bets for dad include Tonik suede low top sneakers or their leather club oxfords, which do a great job of incorporating classic American country club style into a skate shoe. Modern and relevant, your dad might do a double-take.
