The 50 Types of Shoes Every Man Should Own


Clown Shoes

Clown shoes, unless you are a clown, are not one of the FIFTY TYPES of SHOES THAT EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN.

Web Watch will make this one a bit easy, as men should probably only own five pairs of shoes:

  • Sneakers
  • Black dress shoes
  • Brown dress shoes
  • Boots for bad weather
  • Flip-flops or other beach-appropriate wear

The average guy doesn’t need 15 different types of kicks, in various brands and/or colors.  Just pick a sneaker and wear that to play tennis or basketball, or walk around the mall in.  We’ll make an exception of mowing the grass — you should have a dedicated pair of old Keds for that, just because.

And you’ll get a pass for golf shoes or bowling shoes as well.  Web Watch does love some good bowling.

But let’s take a look at this list of 50 shoes that every guy needs.  Really?  What guy do you know who has more than maybe six different shoes — not counting Giant Moose Head Slippers?  Let’s take a look at the full list after the break:

But did you know that this fabulous holiday treat isn’t necessarily as traditional as you might think?  It was created by the Campbell’s Soup Company as a way to sell more soup.

Ever wonder what professional sports cheerleaders do in their real lives?

Because they certainly can’t make a living on PROFESSIONAL CHEERLEADING alone, making from $50-$100 per game each season, you’re going to need something else to fall back on to support yourself. 

Like a “real” job.
