My Versatile Shoe Collection | Men's Boots, Sneakers & Dress Shoes

Here’s an updated look at my shoe collection. These are the shoes that I either wear regularly OR that I keep for special occasions. Like, my dress shoes aren’t getting much wear now, but they’re crucial for wedding season and, not to be morbid but, the occasional funeral.

And quick disclaimer: you’ll notice that lots of my shoes are pretty, how do you say: conditioned. I don’t baby my shoes. I like to wear them in and prefer to let some patina show. I do clean my dress shoes before wearing them out to important events, and I wipe my leather sneakers down with baby wipes on occasion, but other than that, I just let them get scuffed up. I realize you may treat your shoes differently, and of course that’s okay too!

Sneakers are great, oxfords are great..but man, a good pair of boots get me excited more than anything!

Brother I appreciate all of your content. Your presentation is always precise, insightful, thoughtful and most of all relaxed. There’s so many other channels on YouTube where the hosts are yelling at the top of their lungs as if I’m hard hard of hearing. Not sure why that is or what it’s supposed to prove??? With your vids it’s like we are sitting at a table enjoying a beer and just talking like friends. You’re the best. I don’t know your name but “modest man” keep it up.

It's great to see you don't have 30-40-50 pairs of shoes, this is much more relatable for the normal person.

I agree, wear sandals! They’re comfy and I like having an outdoorsy aesthetic - my Chacos get lots of use in the summer just like my fleece jacket does in the fall/winter!

[huntercrosby]

Living in Phoenix sandals are just kind of mandatory, at least in the summer. Definitely at least for the life in the southwest. Tevas rock, especially since they were born in the Canyon.

love getting back to basics. I like flashy clothes and i just wanna tone it down for now so here i am getting help for some basics

[krohanph]

Awesome vid! I've literally been looking at shoe vids for the past hour (including modest man ones). this video couldn't have come at a better time haha

I'm really into minimalist footwear. The genre has matured immensely the last years. Now there is starting to be a fairly decent amount of choice, even when looking from different styles point of view. My absolute favorite pick up for this F/W is the Liverpool boot from the brand Groundies.!

Loafers are my favorites. I stopped wearing oxfords and derbies, sometimes sneakers but I prefer alpargatas. My most worn are TLB Mallorca loafers. I’ve got 2 and I’m unsure which one I like more.

Right now it is my Grant Stone Diesel boots in crimson CXL. Great for everything, from hiking to motorcycling to date night.

My go to shoes during this time of year are my redwing blacksmiths. During the rest of the year my favorite shoe is my vans

[benleschins]

What a great and versatile collection. Happy holidays, Brock!

[michaelstrietz]

Sock collection when? This is not a joke comment, I like socks.

[JAG]

I just got some Jodhpur Boots last week that I am waiting for in the mail which I think you should try a pair because it very minimalism in it look also it has a very clean look and no one is wearing them so you will stand out from most

You have nice variety in your collection. I'm not a sandal guy personally, but nothing wrong with them whatsoever. I just don't like having my feet exposed, unless i'm at the beach or pool. My collection is definitely sneaker top-heavy, and that stems from being a former sneakerhead, as well as working in an office that has casual dress every day. My favorite would probably be my Ultraboosts. I highly recommend those for running/casual errands. I'm also a big fan of Vans authentics and old school's.

I purchased a pair of Thursday Boots right before Covid hit, so i've only been able to wear them once but they are extremely comfortable and rugged. I also have several pairs of Chelsea boots, I'd say 4-5 pairs in various colors. I own LLBean boots for snow that i've had since college and they still look great. I do own a pair of walnut Allen Edmond Strands, which are usually my go-to for formal wear. And I have pair of black Cole Haan double Monk. This lockdown and working remotely has made me realize that maybe I have too many shoes... Oh well. Not the worst problem to have in the world. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

I wear my Clarks Hinman (rough) suede chelsea in fall and spring. And just got Timberland Redwood Falls Moc Toe for wet and snowy days.

[davidlara]

Well, you call yourself the modest man, I think being minimalist is your style and I guess you have covered all your life situations. I prefer having more options to choose from. Great video 👌🏻

[casparwhittey]

Great collection. Love the sandal support, and couldn't agree more with Minnetonka!

Hi Brock,
Love your content as always.
Year round: I wear sneakers. Chuck Taylors hi tops for street and causal wear. For exercise, I usually wear Adidas's and Reeboks.
Fall/winter: Chelsea boots, I own four pairs, my black Chelsea boots are my most worn on a regular basis. I wear brown Chelsea boots, that are H&M brand. I occasionally wear my tan suede chelseas.
Spring/summer:
I wear boat shoes and loafers. I own at up to 6 different kinds of sperrys and up to five different kinds of loafers. I usually wear boat shoes and loafers in warmer months.
Also, I outgrew being afraid to wear sandals in public. However, the only sandal I wear are flip flops, I own several leather flip flops and the reasonable priced plastic Havaianas. Like those brands in flip flops.
But those are all the shoes I've worn regularly.
Stay classy.
