They’ll add a bit of class to your outfit so you can enjoy strolling around town in style, but are comfortable enough to keep you relaxed and happy all day long.

Having at least a couple of pairs of casual shoes in your closet—along with your dress shoes, sports shoes, hiking/walking shoes, and beach sandals—will be an absolute game-changer.

Check out our list of the best casual shoes for men. I guarantee you’ll find at least one pair that fits your style and comfort needs to a tee!

Step up your style game with these sleek blue-and-white beauties!

Heck, you can even pair them with a business suit to maximize the “relaxed formal” flair.

Made with leather uppers and sturdy rubber soles, these are hard-wearing shoes that will keep your feet comfortable all day long. They’re easily scuffed—the light blue and white color palette makes marks show up very visibly—but that’ll just be on the surface. You’ll find the leather soles and leather-and-polyester interior lining are as tough as they are supportive.

Looking for a more elegant alternative to the classic Chucks? These bad boys are just what you need!

They’re cut in the same style of your favorite Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor high-tops, manufactured with better-quality materials that will be more comfortable and last longer. Unlike Chucks, these shoes come with a zippered cargo pocket that gives you storage space for cash, keys, and cards. Now that’s a fancy upgrade you definitely want.

The rounded rubber toecap maximizes the durability of these shoes for skateboarders, protecting the canvas uppers from damage or impact. Thanks to its ridged rubber sole, you’ve got all the grip you need to stay firmly planted on your deck even in wet weather.

Saint Laurent is a line of YSL’s finest, clothing and footwear specifically manufactured to be ready-to-wear at a much more affordable price. The casual low-top style of sneakers is the perfect footwear to complement your fashion-forward outfit, but don’t think for a minute it sacrifices form for function. These are hard-wearing shoes made using premium leather for the upper and top-quality rubber for the grippy, supportive outsoles.

The pure white color scheme is complemented by just the right amount of eye-catching green. Thanks to their minimalist design, they’ll draw enough attention to prove that you’re at the top of your style game, but won’t be so flashy they detract from your casual weekend outfit.

Keep it budget-friendly with these spectacularly comfortable slip-on moccasins, the perfect shoe to wear both inside and outside the house. They’re not only cloud-soft on your feet, but they’re also light as a feather but stay securely in place, thanks to the stretch fabric uppers.

Though they’re slip-on shoes, they do include elastic laces that allow you to tie them up—ideal for transitioning from at-home use to heading out on the town and back again without changing your shoes. The “Flex and Fold” system makes them ideal for stowing in your backpack, luggage, or carry-on. Despite their compact design and light weight, however, they offer excellent support and cushioning, thanks to its memory foam insoles.

For a simple, inexpensive pair of shoes you can wear anywhere, anytime, you won’t find much better than these!

Are you sick and tired of wearing the “same old” sneakers, slip-ons, or mocs? Ready to dress like a real grown-up? Then you’ll love these Florsheim shoes—the perfect balance between comfort and elegance.

The Oxford shoes are made with leather uppers and a canvas exterior, making them sturdy without being too “stuffy”. It’s a great casual look to pair with jeans, slacks, or capris, and the white sole is eye-catching enough to make sure people know how smart a dresser you are. For your comfort, the shoes also include a fully cushioned footbed for maximum arch support and Suedetec linings to keep your feet warm even when the weather gets cool.

Best of all, they’re supremely affordable and hard-wearing!

These are the shoes you’ll want if you need a bit more comfort and support on your days off. They feature a built-in orthopedic insole that provides excellent arch support, reduces foot fatigue, and even combats over-stretch (a problem common with Plantar Fasciitis). The insole’s “massage layer” will provide a foot massage with every step, helping to loosen up tense connective tissue and relaxing your feet. At the end of a long day, your feet will feel better than ever.

The leather upper is simple and plain, making them the perfect no-frills shoes to match a simple house outfit or casual jeans-and-tee wardrobe. However, they’re also durable enough to spend all day walking around town, or even take them on a hike (though that’s not recommended, given their slip-on design and lack of shoelaces). For the affordable price tag, you won’t find casual orthopedic shoes much better than these.

Keep it simple and sweet with these sneakers by AX Boxing! They don’t bother with flashy, eye-catching decorative details, but they’re a beautifully understated addition to your wardrobe. Comfortable, affordable, and stylish: that’s what these sneakers are all about.

The shoes may not be the most durable—the upper is made using polyurethane leather, which is prone to scuffing and peeling—but they’ll look great and wear well while they last. The inner lining is beautifully soft and offers excellent ventilation to keep your feet cool and dry even on the hottest summer day.

Thanks to their non-slip, durable, highly grippy sole, they’re the perfect pair of shoes to own if you plan on skateboarding or scootering around town. You will love them while you wear them, but because of their low price tag, you can always pick up another pair when you’ve worn them out.

The shoes are understated in their elegance—a combination of chambray cotton upper and leather heel tag give them a classy look, and the sleek white synthetic rubber outsole is just eye-catching enough to make them noticeable without drawing undue attention. The insole offers excellent padding and support so your feet will be comfortable whether you’re walking, running, or lounging.

This insole combines air-cooled, gel-infused, high-rebound memory foam with a moisture-wicking fabric and molded proprietary Dual-Lite base material to provide next-level support and comfort for your feet.

The inside may be high-tech, but on the outside, the shoes are simple and classy, cut in the Oxford style but using canvas rather than stuffy leather. The result is footwear that can be worn around the house and out on the town with equal comfort. Pair them with joggers, jeans, or Bermudas, and they’ll complement your outfit to perfection.

There’s a reason these Adidas shoes have been a “best-seller” for as long as they have: they’re just so sturdy, comfortable, and versatile.

Thanks to their stark white color with just the right black accents, they’re an eye-catching and fashion-forward choice.

For the price, you won’t find many better, sturdier tennis shoes to match your casual vibe. The suede leather uppers are tough as nails but adapt nicely to conform to your foot shape, and even with the sturdy rubber outsole, the shoes weigh next to nothing.

The moccasin is made from soft, supple suede leather that feels cloud-soft to the touch, and provides ample cushioning so that your feet are comfortable whether you’re lounging, driving, or strolling. Despite their affordable price tag, they’re still hand-made using top-quality materials (sturdy suede leather and quality rubber) so you know they’ll last you for years of regular use.

Fair warning, though: as the manufacturer states plainly on their page, sizes tend to run a half-size large, so purchase accordingly.

These boat shoes are definitely a cut above the rest in terms of class and elegance.

The handcrafted, Guatemalan-made shoes are just what your outfit is missing!

The shoes are made using full-grain leather with a super-soft calfskin interior lining, and the stacked leather heel (with its rubber outsole) offers a classy look. You’ll never sacrifice comfort just because you’re dressing up, though—the high density memory foam insole will cradle your feet and offer wonderful arch support all day long.
