Everyday Work Shoes for Men: Comfort is Possible
Men’s work shoes are notoriously uncomfortable—but they don’t have to be. We’ve got a closet-full of men’s shoe choices that provide that elusive wear-all-day comfort and look just this side of business casual.
A note for anyone who prides themselves on leading a sustainable lifestyle, consider this: Choosing sustainable footwear makes a statement that supports that commitment in your wardrobe choices.
So let’s get you set up.
Comfortable Shoes for the Office
Men’s work shoes can be stylish and office-appropriate without being made of stiff leather. Nowadays, most office jobs allow you to leave behind the wingtips and brogues shoes and choose footwear that’s a whole lot more comfortable and versatile. Here’s what we suggest:
Canvas, Low-Cut, and Reliable
Get ready for the day without thinking too much about it—just slip on your favorite slacks with these low-cut canvas shoes and hit the door.
Our Canvas Pipers for men are breathable, lightweight, and go with shorts, jeans, or khakis. With 100% organic cotton for the upper and SweetFoam® made with sugarcane for the midsole, these modern work shoes are sustainably made and classically-effortless.
Set off on a High Note with Men’s High Tops
Take your office look to new heights with our popular high-top styles for men.
If your climate is more chilly & rainy than sunny & hot, you may want to look at the Wool Runner-up Mizzles—a wool high-top that resists the cold and damp while looking old-school stylish.
What really makes this work shoe exceptional is our ZQ Merino wool, a renewable material that’s durable and cozy, along with water-repellent Puddle Guard® technology that keeps your feet dry on your walk into the office.
Slip-on Stability
No socks, no pinching, no problem. Our Loungers are crafted with one-piece uppers made from renewable materials—either light eucalyptus tree fiber in the Tree Loungers or cozy Merino wool in the Wool Loungers. Either way you go, you’ve got your casual work shoe answer with this highly-cushioned, highly-versatile slip-on.
Wear the Loungers with rolled-cuff slacks, dark jeans, or khaki shorts, and pull off the look as you pull on your new shoes.
Superlights for a Weightless Workday
These may end up setting the new office dress code with one wear. One of our lightest shoes and lowest carbon footprints to date, the Superlight Wool Runners are versatile and comfortable enough for any business casual day, thanks to a bio-based SuperLight Foam that cushions every step.
And here’s more good news: The Superlight Wool Runners have a carbon footprint of 4.03 kg CO2e (for comparison, a standard sneaker is about 14 kg CO2e, based on our calculations. Learn more about carbon footprint labeling and our commitments to reduce our impact.)
Our workday shoes are as hard-working as you are, so you can finally step into all-day comfort as you step into your workday.
