Suede

Come fall, shoes are no longer simply a supplement to a man's wardrobe. They become integral to the equation, an extension of your seasonal style. Out come the sweaters and jackets; and your footwear becomes a bit more rugged and well, autumnal. Take these suede options here. From lace-up oxfords and wing tips to more rakish monk straps, they're not the delicate leather soled styles you might pair with a lightweight suit. With thick rubber soles and a slightly rounder toe, you can practically hear the crunch of leaves underfoot.
