Working women may be ditching the high heels and opting for more comfortable and supportive footwear in the office and beyond, but the rigid and restrictive corporate footwear options for men have also been revolutionised. Many of the brands at Bstore offer sophisticated choices for the modern professional man, putting a comfortable spin on classic styles and offering contemporary updates suitable for many work environments. Here are some of our best offerings from Blundstone, ECCO, Vivobarefoot and Dr Martens.

Blundstone 1901 Black Mens Boots

The 1901 Boots are a sophisticated spin on Blundstone's more rugged casual range. The 1901 has versatility to boot (excuse the pun), transitioning from day to night with its tailored toe and dress-boot profile, and premium quality black leather upper. We love these with dark jeans and a fancy flanno, or chinos and a cashmere jumper.

Blundstone 152 Black Heritage Mens Boots

A step up from the 1901 is the new Heritage range model, the 152. Featuring a Goodyear welted sole, premium water-resistant leather upper and luxurious leather lining, the 152 has a classic dress boot profile and feels sturdy, supportive and supple on the foot. Wear them with a plaid suit in the office, or chinos and a corduroy shirt for a smart-casual night on the town.

Dr Martens 1461 Nappa Black Shoes

Your garage band days might be behind you, but it doesn't mean you can't bring a little punk to your professional life. The cult Dr Martens 1461 in soft Nappa Leather with air cushioned outsole is a worthy investment, both for enduring style and high quality construction. Cropped chinos and a crisp white button-up shirt will give you a modern twist on London punk, or you can don your indigo denim roll up jeans and a gingham shirt for a classy but casual friday look perfect for after work drinks.


Dr Martens Cabrillo Wyoming Black Desert Boots

Dr Martens answer to the desert boot is the Cabrillo - crafted from velvety textured Wyoming leather with an oiled finish, these boots feature a smart-casual profile and a grooved air cushioned sole, great for walking during your commute and sturdy enough to keep you feeling supported all day. We like these with a pair of tan chinos and a navy blue linen shirt, but they pair well with jeans and a short sleeve button up for a more casual look.

ECCO Calcan Black

All you snappy dressers out there will feel right at home in the ECCO Calcan, a classic oxford style dress shoe crafted from luxe full-grain leather in a suave silhouette. The luxury doesn't end there; the Calcan shoes feature soft leather lining and a removable inlay sole, also lined with leather, to increase air circulation and promote a perfect inner climate for your feet. These are the perfect final touch to your favourite suit, whether it be for work or a special occasion.


ECCO ST.1 Hybrid Black Wingtip Derby Mens Shoes

Classic doesn't have to be boring with the ECCO ST.1 Hybrid Black Wingtip Derby Mens Shoes. The elegant silhouette is upgraded with a modern finish, with antiuque cow leather crafting built on an anatomical last and offering shock absorption, a removable inlay sole and finished with sleek detailing. These look superb with a tweed suit or relaxed khaki trousers and a knitted polo.

Vivobarefoot RA

Barefoot technology enthusiasts are no longer limited to wearing their barefoot shoes on the weekends with the RA oxford shoe from Vivobarefoot. Featuring the coveted lightweight flexibility, these lace up shoes are constructed from breathable Wild Hide leather, a removable cork insole and a grippy and durable outsole to keep you stable but free to spread your toes throughout the work day. The RA can be worn with linen pants, jeans or chinos, and dressed up or down for the smart-casual office environment.


Vivobarefoot Gobi II

Vivobarefoot also offer a desert boot variation on the RA style with the Gobi II, a perfect blend of casual and sophisticated with a naturally scarred Wild Hide leather upper, removable cork insole and flexible lightweight construction promoting freedom of movement while protecting you from the elements. Wear them with rolled up jeans or relaxed trousers and your favourite button up shirt, they'll keep you comfortable and carefree in the office and beyond.
