Men's Leather Shoes

Men's leather shoes from independent boutiques, including loafers, lace up oxfords, zip boots and clean low top sneakers.

Men's leather shoes anchor everyday dressing across formal tailoring, deconstructed workwear and sportswear. Smooth leather and suede come here in black, white, blue, cream and red, and sit cleanly beneath trousers.

Guidi has tanned leather in Pescia, in Tuscany, since the eighteen nineties, works in horse leather, and dyes each shoe after it is made. Rick Owens, known for drape and black, makes the leather sneakers Utopia brings here. Maison Margiela makes the Tabi, a split toe boot modeled on traditional Japanese workers' footwear and first shown by Martin Margiela in the late eighties.

Utopia in Toronto brings most of this wall: leather sneakers from Jordan, Nike and Louis Vuitton, many of them pre owned. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Guidi zip boots and derbies, parlor23 adds Dr. Martens boots, and Due West adds Stutterheim. Pair heavy boots with relaxed trousers and a wool coat, or low top sneakers with straight cotton pants.

Common questions

How should men style leather boots with tailored trousers?
Straight leg trousers fall cleanly over the shaft of slim zip boots without stacking fabric. Wide hems drape across heavy combat soles to balance the visual weight of thick outerwear.
How does Guidi make its leather shoes?
Guidi tans its hides in large spinning drums in Pescia, in Tuscany, and it works in horse leather. It dyes each shoe after it is made, so the upper and the sole take the same colour.
Which leather shoes work across both formal and casual settings?
Plain derby lace ups and clean low top leather sneakers transition easily across wardrobes. Pair them with relaxed tailored suits or casual cotton pants.
