Men's Laced Shoes: History and Styles

The Origins of Laced Shoes

Men's lace-up shoes have a rich and fascinating history that has its roots in antiquity.

As early as ancient Egypt, pharaohs wore laced sandals made from woven leather or metal buckles.

This type of footwear offered better support and protection than traditional sandals, and was often worn by the noble classes and armies.

However, it was with the advent of the Roman Empire that laced shoes became more widespread.

The Romans introduced the "calcei", shoes with a rigid sole that covered the entire foot and were fastened along the instep and ankle.

These shoes were worn by both upper-class men and women and became a symbol of social status.

The Different Types of Laced Shoes

Men's lace-up shoes have evolved over the centuries, giving rise to different types of shoes with unique styles. Here are some of the most popular variations:

  1. Lace-up Oxfords : These dress shoes feature a closed lacing, with the laces crossing over a smooth insole. Oxfords are considered the symbol of sophistication and are often worn on formal occasions.

  2. Derbies : Derbies are similar to oxfords, but with an open lace. This makes them more flexible and comfortable to wear. They are perfect for a casual-elegant look.

  3. Brogue : Brogue shoes are distinguished by decorative holes called "broguing" that adorn the front panel. Originally conceived as footwear for outdoor work, brogues have become a versatile style icon, suitable for both the office and leisure.

  4. Monk Strap : Monk strap shoes feature a buckle or strap closure rather than laces. This distinctive detail gives a touch of elegance and originality to these shoes.

How to Wear Men's Lace-Up Shoes?

Wearing men's lace-up shoes requires care and attention to achieve an elegant and well-groomed look.

Here are some tips on how to wear laced shoes correctly:

  1. Matching Your Wardrobe : Lace-up footwear is incredibly versatile and can be worn with a wide range of outfits. Oxford lace-ups are perfect for formal occasions such as weddings or corporate events, while derbies and brogues are ideal for casual-elegant looks. Make sure to match your shoes to the rest of your outfit, choosing colors that harmonize with each other.

  2. Correct fit : It is crucial that your lace-up footwear is the right size. Be sure to try different sizes and models to find the one that fits your foot best. A shoe that is too narrow or too loose can compromise both comfort and aesthetic appearance.

  3. Proper Lacing : When lacing your shoes, be careful to get an even fit. Start at the bottom end of the laces and gradually tighten upwards. Make sure the laces are tight but not too tight, to ensure the right support for the foot without causing discomfort.

  4. Appropriate Pants : When wearing lace-up footwear, it is important to choose pants appropriately. Oxford lace-ups and derbies pair perfectly with tailored trousers or chinos, while brogues and monk straps go well with jeans or more casual trousers. Make sure your trousers are adequately long, slightly covering the top edge of your shoes.

  5. Maintenance : To keep your laced shoes in good condition, you need to take proper care of them. Brush off dust and dirt after each use, and regularly apply a leather cream or polish to keep them hydrated and protect them from cracking. Make sure you store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with the use of a shoehorn to avoid damaging the heel.

By following these simple guidelines, you will be able to wear men's lace-up shoes with confidence and style, completing your outfits with elegance and sophistication.
