70 Shoes to Wear Sockless

From Classic Worn-In Moccasins to Sock-Free Fancy Footwear

— June 6, 2013 — Fashion
With the warm weather upon us, finding fashionable shoes to wear sockless is key to staying cool when it gets too hot to bear. Here, guys will find a whole heap of styles that are indeed great with socks, but even better when they're worn barefoot.

Going on the hunt for shoes to wear sockless can leave a guy overwhelmed by the number of choices available ranging from contemporary yet casual stylings to those reserved for special evenings out. Going sockless requires a keen attention to other aspects of the outfit, which includes potentially rolling up the cuffs on the pants and opting for a short sleeve button-up instead of a traditional oxford.

When deciding which shoes to wear sockless, remember to take into consideration the cut and materials; is it too high and is it made of materials that don't breathe? If so, move on to the next.
