Steve Madden’s ability to make a stylish, affordable, and yes, sometimes weird pair of shoes isn’t just limited to the dress oxford realm.

That stripe detail is going to scare off a lot of people. Which is too bad because if you keep the rest of your outfit on the more minimalist side, that could be the one, perfect, stand-out detail that makes your casual look. Not for anything other than laid back situations, they could become your favorite pair of bang-around-town boots.

Is the stitching on the ankle a little goofy? Undoubtedly. Are you going to be wearing these boots with shorts? (Please say no). If not, who’s going to see it? Your jeans should cover that part leaving you with a great pair of well shaped casual boots. They’re thin enough in the toe that you’ll most likely be able to pull off a casual blazer with them.

Men Everywhere are embracing the idea of looking more polished while still dressing down. Upgrading your casual style doesn’t take much when it comes to shoes. Oxfords can be comfortable and beat up. And they look a hell of a lot better on your feet than running shoes when driving around town or working around the house. These suede oxfords come with an unfortunate pre-wear on the heel and toe (it’s more noticeable on the black pair) but you really can’t beat the price.
