Happy Valentine’s Day… For him!

Now it’s time for the boys!

Valentine’s Day’s near and you still don’t know what to offer the love of your life? EscapeShoes to the rescue! On our previous post, we gave a few suggestions of gifts for her, and today we’ll give a few suggestions of shoes that might become the perfect gift for him. Either it’s a new love or your long-time partner, it’s him that makes you smile when you’re feeling sad, the one that gives you encouragement when you’re feeling down and the one that’s always by your side, for better and for worst. For those reasons and many more, we want you to find the perfect gift for that man in your life, and here are a few ideas!

Who doesn’t love a classic? Either a film, book or music, classics are classics for a reason. It’s because they never go out of fashion! A good example of this is Timberland’s boat shoes, which year after year continue to be one of the brand’s bestsellers. And it’s easy to see why! They provide comfort and quality in a pair of shoes with a timeless design. A favourite is the Earthkeepers Icon Classic Rootbeer Smooth, with a brown colour that is easy to match and square leather shoelaces. In brown is also the rubber outsole, although in a slightly lighter shade, which matches really well with the shoe’s leather. Another classic pair from Timberland is the shoes with no laces, more commonly called loafers. The big perk of this type of shoe is that, as you may have guessed, it’s very easy and quick to wear, since you don’t waste any time tying the shoelaces. In fact, it’s tough to even name these shoes’ disadvantages, just look at the Heritage Driver Grey! Aren’t they perfect?

However, perhaps the suggestions above are a bit too “formal” and don’t really match your Valentine’s style. Perhaps his style is more casual and urban… If so, there’s nothing better than Vans shoes! Made for a modern and city-like lifestyle, these sneakers are perfect for him! And one of the most requested models, especially by men, is the Old Skool, the one with the side stripe. This model exists in many colours, but the pair that we’ll suggest is the Old Skool Periscope True White. Their brown details contrast really well with their greyish dark blue base colour without being too ostentatious, for men that aren’t afraid to use colour as long as it’s not too much. And for those that always like doing their morning runs, there’s nothing better than Salomon sneakers! For example, the Speedcross 4 Light Onix Black Corona Yellow are even ideal for those that do technical running, like trail running, or simply for those that appreciate a more active lifestyle (and if you wish to, you can also buy a pair for yourself to keep him company).

To finish, we’ll propose two pairs of boots because, even though winter’s almost over, a pair is always mandatory in any man’s wardrobe, particularly if he’s a fan of outdoor hiking, for example on the mountains. However, the first boots that we show you below, the Merrell All Out Blazer Chukka North Clay are not exactly ideal for mountaineering, but offer unmatchable comfort and cosiness! If your Valentine is one of those that’s always complaining of having cold feet, these are the shoes you need to buy him! However, if you’re looking for boots truly suitable for hiking, the best bet is Timberland. Its Euro Sprint and Euro Hiker models are the most appropriate for that kind of outdoor activity, like the Timberland Euro Hiker Noix, which stand out due to their soft and velvety texture, since they’re made of suede. With these boots, there will be nothing holding him back from doing his hikes, while you’re cosy at home watching your shows! 😛

Are any of these pairs of shoes the ideal one for the man of your life? No? In that case, find out all the possibilities that are available to you at the EscapeShoes store! Buy the perfect gift and make this Valentine’s Day a day to remember.
