As a man, when you wear a formal outfit, there are not many choices you can for footwear. I have found myself stuck in a few different pairs of formal shoes for so many events and frankly, I hate it. They are restrictive shoes that offer little to no support and are usually not breathable at all, so my feet are trapped in uncomfortable shoes for the sake of the rest of my outfit.
Luckily for all of us, it is getting more acceptable to wear sneakers and more casual shoes with a formal ensemble. Of course, that does not mean you can or should wear any old sneakers to a nice event. There are shoes that walk the line between being formal-friendly and still maintaining a more casual and trendy look perfect for these situations. So, if you want to free yourself from wearing oppressive dress shoes, check out the list below of the best sneakers to wear with a formal outfit.
