Mine would wear ratty converse all the time if he could. I say he could look a little more put together, but I’m stumped as to what he should wear. When you’re going for an evening out and your spouse/SO is wearing a button down and jeans, what kind of shoes does he wear?
He’s 53 and not a fan of trends that look too young.

There's a kind of dressy suede sneakers from ECCO that can go most places.

My dh - 56yo - wears chukka boots. He has tabacco color leather and a pair of blue suede. Both look great with jeans and dressier than sneakers

My husband has embraced the casual sneaker. He has black Nikes that get worn a lot. He likes Vans and Sperry Sneakers.

To be honest mine wears Crocs. There are some dressier looking styles made of suede.

With what you described, he would wear tennis shoes. But he does wear dress shoes to work, and he could wear those for a fancier night out.

You've described my DH's go-to work/going out look (though sometimes it's flannel or a polo). He has something like these. We're 33. |

Once my husband retired, at 62, he pretty much only ever wore Under Armor sneakers, in black.

For casual date wear, he has a pair of Clark’s slip on leather shoes like these. They are great for visiting other people’s homes because they are easy to take on and off. For everyday he wears a pair of Asolo boots. They have good support for his arthritic feet. |

with jeans - he's either wearing his Nikes (I think the current pair is blue and the older pair is white) or his brown hiking shoes. With a button down, he would be wearing khakis or dress trousers so he has a pair of brown suede laced shoes, a pair of black laced shoes, and a pair of black slip-on loafers

Go out? What is this event you speak of? 😂
Mine wears van half cabs with jeans usually.
For a funeral recently he wore khaki pants, button down shirt, old brown lace ups that he used to wear when he worked in a real estate office over a decade ago.

DH has been a fan of Mephisto shoes ever since we lived in Paris. For more casual he will wear the Leon or the Steve. If those are too casual, then he should look at the Falco or Falco Perf. Locally he can see them at EG Geller. |

Funny you mention Converse, because that's what DSO wears when we go out. Not the normal sneakers style, but the slightly dressier canvas style. He recently bought something like this, but in beige. I'm sure he has some dressier shoes in the wardrobe, but we rarely go anywhere where dress shoes are required. |

Boots. Square toe pull-on cowboy-type boots for dressier occasions, round-toed Wellington boots to work in.

My husband usually wears Rockports or Merrill. However, he bought his first pair of Allbirds and says that they are super comfortable. So, he wears them a lot.

He wears Samuel Hubbard brand shoes when he can-he has some blue suede ones he got and he loves those and recently got some in a loafer form. He also has nice boots he got in Nashville-not “cowboy” boots but they look great with jeans. He also has Birks. He rarely wears sneakers.

My DH, in his early seventies, wears Skechers Relaxed Fit pretty much all the time. They look like a loafer, but with a running shoe type sole. Also golf shoes - a lot! LOL. He wouldn't be caught dead in sandals or crocs. (Mr. Conservative)

Sperrys, either boat shoes or sneakers, or Sanuk slip ons. He is 58 and a pretty casual dresser.

My husband just purchased a pair of Allbirds and swears by their comfort. During the winter he might put on a nice pair of leather loafers. Otherwise casual sneakers with a little bit of style.

Sperry Docksiders and Hey Dudes when out, which is very rare. Barefoot the rest of the time. He is 62.

My 52-year-old DH wears boat shoes or plimsolls (like Converse but not branded) with his jeans and shirt.

He wears Skechers suede loafers for errands or New Balance walking sneakers he found after his back surgery. For special occasions, he wears SAS shoes.

For nicer wear, he has a few pair of Cole Haans in loafer and lace-up styles. Otherwise, any of a variety of sneakers, chukka boots, or other boots. He does own flip-flops for the pool or beach but wouldn't wear them out. No crocs (for either of us).
