A lot has been said about men and shoes that it would be unwise not to carefully choose ones that suit you. We all know that a man’s shoes reflect his personality. “Shoes say a lot about a man. In fact you can figure out from his shoes where he comes from, where he has been and what he’s up to,” says Anthony Mulinda , a fashion consultant at Crystal consultancy.
A lot has been said about men and shoes that it would be unwise not to carefully choose ones that suit you. We all know that a man’s shoes reflect his personality. "Shoes say a lot about a man. In fact you can figure out from his shoes where he comes from, where he has been and what he’s up to,” says Anthony Mulinda , a fashion consultant at Crystal consultancy.This week let’s look at the Tassel loafers. Although this pair has been around for quiet sometime, it made a come back early this year. Loafers are great shoes made from high quality material so the user can put them on for a long time. They are also convenient to wear as they don’t make use of the fastening or lacing system.These shoes have become increasingly popular among fashionable men. They are available in varying styles, designs, colours and sizes. Some of other popular styles with these shoes include penny loafer, slip on loafer, driving loafer, slip on buckle loafer and smart casual loafer. The design of the tassel loafers is handled with precision to make sure they are comfortable and strong. Most of them usually come with high quality rubber soles to offer great durability and traction. You can find ones that suit dressy occasions as they blend in well with a tie and a coat or khakis and blazers. Guys can also find a formal pair that can be worn to the office to give you a classy and professional look. They are also made from varying material where one has the option of either picking suede, leather or other materials. Men often find difficulty in deciding whether to wear loafers with socks or without socks. "It is definitely acceptable to wear these shoes without a pair of socks when wearing khakis or jeans. However, for formal occasions, wearing loafers without socks is not a good idea,” adds Mulinda. Like any other type of shoes, it is important to pick the right size. It’s advisable to first try them on and walk around with them for a while to make certain they are the perfect fit. The shoes are great for maintaining healthy feet as one can walk around with them for a long time without suffering from achy feet or complaining about getting tired fast. They are also easy to clean. Just take a towel and soak it in warm water. Rub the towel around the footwear to remove any kind of dirt. These fashionable shoes are available in most shoe shops in Kigali. Although they are a bit expensive, one can be sure they will get value for money as they never disappoint.
