Famous as an outdoor performance shoe, Merrell Shoes knows all about style as well. Of course you want traction while hiking in the nearest forest preserve, but why not look good doing it? I've included a loafer and slide for when there's a pause in your active lifestyle. Here are my top picks in Merrell's men's shoes.
The "Jungle Moc" has nearly achieved legendary status for good looks, comfort, and widespread appeal. With dual goring, suede uppers, and slip-on styling, this laid-back take on casual shoes has become a modern-day classic.
My philosophy is: when you find a good-looking casual shoe that feels great, you grab it up. Of course, only you can decide how these shoes feel to you, but I can vouch for how good they look. Available in light brown, redwood or black, these slip-on shoes are a natural for jeans or khakis.
Part hiking boot, part fashion statement, the 'Chameleon Traveler' comes in mud brown. No one will know if you are going mountain climbing or if you are just the coolest guy in the pub.
A casual slip-on that you can kick back and be lazy in, and still wear out for those 2 a.m., mandatory, dog walks. The light natural shade is unique, but great, because it doesn't look too heavy.
These thong sandals aren't your everyday thong sandals. Featuring sculpted midsoles, suede footbeds, leather uppers, and Merrell Air Cushioning, it seems nearly insulting to call the "Calafina" a flip-flop. So I didn't.
