4 Shoes Every Guy NEEDS! | Courtney Ryan

1. White sneakers (and keep them clean) 2. Athletic shoe (with joggers ext...) 3. Boots 4. Dress shoes

Many unsubscribed when she said "these are my bf's sneakers." Lol

Make sure to SHOES wisely when it comes to picking the right footwear! I’ll see myself out...

I wore my slippers to Target last week. I figure, I’m wearing a mask, all rules are OFF.

Really enjoy the content you put out! It’s really nice to hear everything from men’s wear to dating advice from a woman’s perspective. Keep up the good work!

Love your passion for solid colored shoes. The way you feel about white sneakers, is the way that I feel about solid black sneakers

Great tips Courtney, totally agreed! As someone whose personal style is obsessively basic and minimal (exclusively black and grey), here's what I've found: - Chelsea boots are awesome, just don't approach them like dress shoes. No patent or highly polished leathers, no flat soles and low heels, no pointy toes. When in doubt, better to go slightly chunkier. This avoids the "skinny jeans and Chelsea boots" stereotype. I love Blundstones for daily wear- they go with everything- and I like Beckett Simonon's Preston model for a slightly nicer look like dark denim and a grey blazer. - I wear boots and high-tops exclusively as I have a weird aversion to showing my ankles, ever, and I think the taller profile of a boot makes for a nicer visual transition from foot to leg. My dress shoes are actually dress boots. Loake and Herring make a variety of great models, decent quality leather for very affordable prices, made in the UK. - Since I usually wear black, I go with a black sneaker instead of white. High-top, of course. Recently graduated from Jak to Crown, and I love them. Never used to think of myself as a "fashion sneaker" guy but now I really enjoy wearing them. - Don't shy away from taller-shafted boots. I've worn a pair of Chippewa 12" engineers for over 7 years and 3 resoles and they're still going strong. This is a secret weapon for short guys too- the naturally taller heel of engineer/motorcycle boots can add a half-inch or even a full inch to your height. - All of these look better with slim, straight jeans or a very slight boot cut. The hem should reach all the way to the shoe- no excess fabric stacking, and definitely not cropped above the ankle. Skinny jeans are over, guys- and if we're being honest, we should all admit that they never looked good in the first place. Straight-fit pants looked good in the 60s, and in the 80s, and they're still the best option today.

Yesterday i just decided buying shoes for building my wardrobe and you uploaded video with exact topic all I need . Thank you Courtney Ryan this video help me lot .

Tip: when you feel like you have nothing to wear, start with the shoes. The shoes will set the tone for the entire outfit, so consider how formal the event will be. If it’s just class at uni, start with a comfortable shoe that is not dressy and build your way up, so on and so forth...

That Mr. Clean magic eraser point is straight FACTS! I've been using one for the better part of a decade, and I have to say that Courtney is 100% right on this.

Touched on it with the sneakers, but it applies to the other styles too. Take care of your shoes/boots. Especially if you go for leather. Shoe polish and leather conditioner along with a quality shoe/boot will make it so your investment lasts for years. Great list. That being said, my preferred boot is a leather lace up from Red Wing boots called the Blacksmith in a color they call Briar. I've had them for years and they're a great boot.

I think this is good advice; start with the basics and go from there. Good suggestion Courtney 👍 It rains where I live (Ontario, Canada) so on those days I wear a pair of black Nike “Duck” boots (they are like AF 1’s) but are waterproof. It also snows where I am, so I wear either a brown or black Dakota 529 work boot. Also use those when cutting the grass/gardening.

Good list Courtney! FYI - Stan Smith runs a half size big. I tried Thursday boots. I was shocked at how heavy they were. Heavier than a pair of steel toe I have. Not for me. I went with AF Brown Suede lace up.

wow i just came across this channel and i love it so much , your so friendly and the calm voice and the content its just so good !

I'm so proud of myself and my Johnson & Murphy shoes now!

Another cool video. 😁 I love how you come up with varied and helpful tips on subjects that alot of us guys don't think too much about. Really appreciate an honest woman's perspective. I'm adding a couple of new shoes to my collection, so thank you!

Great content as always!!! You've helped me take my style up a notch....

chelsea boots are my personal favorites 🔥

For those interested in saving money, Adidas now has a low cut all white shoe with a leather upper called the "Nizza RF". It is currently for sale on the Adidas website for $48 (marked down from $80). It is lower cut than the regular Stan Smiths. It is similar to the old Jack Purcell canvas sneakers, but with a leather upper and some leather lining. It does have a minimalist heel pull but no labelling markings except for an almost unnoticeable 'Adidas' in grey and white on the tongue. In addition there is stiching on the sides instead of the air holes, reminiscent of the old KSwiss sneakers. Very nice for the price, but comfort wise a lot like the old Jack Purcells (not terribly cushy). I will add that the more cream colored sole contrasts a bit with the white uppers which I actually like . . .

Thursday Boots are my go to for almost any outfit year round (also since theyre leather it took a while for them to break in and for the first couple times I wore them they hurt my feet but after you break them in they're great) and white or black Vans for spring or summer. Also Timberlands are amazing for most situations, I personally wear mine hiking/camping and in the fall/winter.
