What are the most comfortable classic men's shoes?
Finding comfortable dress shoes can be tricky due to the stiffness of the leather to begin with. Styles such as Trickers tend to have the stiffest, hardest to break in leathers. Choose suedes and loafers if you have sensitive feet. We always recommend home testing your shoes, keeping in mind they all may need a little breaking in time too.
