Boat shoes are traditionally worn without socks. [https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Boat_shoe].

Boots are worn both for their functionality – protecting the foot and leg from water, extreme cold, mud or hazards (e. g., work boots may protect wearers from chemicals or use a steel toe) or providing additional ankle support for strenuous activities with added traction requirements (e. g., hiking), or may have hobnails on their undersides to protect against wear and to get better grip; and for reasons of style and fashion [https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Boot].

2.3. Обувь для особых случаев / Shoes for special occasions

       A dress shoe (U. S. English) is a shoe to be worn at smart casual or more formal events. A dress shoe is typically contrasted to an athletic shoe.

       Dress shoes are worn by many as their standard daily shoes, and are widely used in dance, for parties, and for special occasions.

Мужская обувь / Men’s shoes

       За последние сто лет классические виды мужской обуви практически не изменились. Высококачественная кожа была и остается обязательным условием для высококачественной мужской обуви, которая при надлежащем уходе со временем может стать еще лучше. Идеальная обувь, соответствующая этим типам обуви, гарантирует комфорт при ношении и помогает поддерживать здоровые ноги.  / A look back at shoe history reveals that certain longstanding traditions remain in place today. Classic types of men’s shoes and their construction have hardly changed over the past hundred years. High-quality leather was and remains a prerequisite for high-quality men’s shoes—shoes which, when treated with the proper care, can come to look even better with time. The perfect shoe fit that these types of shoes provide guarantees wearing comfort and helps support healthy feet. From choosing the right shoe colour to selecting the perfect model for the occasion, we let you know what to wear.

       Leather soles provide comfort in the office. However, shoes with extravagant uppers shouldn’t be worn to work. Leather soles are an office standby. They allow the wearer to glide over carpeted floors and boast high breathability to boot. Moreover, they’re highly conductive, which means that the wearer won’t get static electricity shocks when touching door handles; those who often wear shoes with rubber soles will recognize the value in this. Shoes with rubber soles should mainly be worn out on the street or during adverse weather conditions. Men’s shoes with smooth uppers are suitable for all settings, including the workplace. The only types of leather that may seem out of place in the office (depending upon where the wearer sits on the office totem pole) are exotic varieties, such as crocodile or ostrich. The same is true of shoes made of rough velours: an absolute no-go in the office, they add the perfect touch to leisurewear.

Sole and upper shoe                                                Monk strap loafer

       Sometimes special types of men’s shoes are the perfect choice. Exercise caution, though: they shouldn’t be worn to particularly formal occasions. Loafer and monk shoe lovers may well ask themselves when exactly it behaves them to don their darlings. As a general rule, a loafer is always appropriate for events that are neither conservative nor formal. This type of shoe pairs nicely with many kinds of suits or shirt-and-trouser combinations—however, it cannot be worn with a pinstripe suit. Loafers are ideally paired with sophisticated leisurewear; they’re excellent with chinos or jeans.
