5 Stylish Shoes For Every Occasion 

There are three predominant characteristics to consider when purchasing a new pair of shoes: style, color and comfort. In other words, your new shoes should boast a killer look, go great with the rest of your wardrobe, and feel like slippers whenever you slip them on. Another factor to consider is price, but that's an easy one because everyone has a different budget when it comes to shoes.

Finding the right balance between style and comfort is a personal matter. Some guys prefer to sacrifice comfort for cutting-edge style while others would rather slip on comfortable shoes regardless of how they look with the rest of their attire.

Whatever your shoe criteria, I have selected five "well-balanced" shoes; the five pairs of shoes listed below are stylish, comfortable and -- if matched properly -- sure to complete any look.
