The 50 Types of Shoes Every Man Should Own


Clown Shoes
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:

An obvious (and unfortunate) side-effect of the “Root Suit”


Full Body Spandex Suit - Morph Suit
Full-body Spandex Morphsuit (pick your color)

So the other day, Web Watch was participating in the monthly WOOT-OFF when we saw them talking about the ROOT SUIT

We know you’ve seen the ROOT SUIT on TV this football season — it’s been featured gameday wear for any number of collegiate and NFL football fans eager to get on TV but without having to show their face.

There are other versions and names out there: the MORPH SUIT,  Zentai, a full-body spandex suit, the lycra outfit, the Spiderman getup.  And they’re all the same basic thing — a costume that you can hide in public in.

The Amazon Kindle

The AMAZON KINDLE is great:  whenever a new book release comes out, you can pretty much instantly download that book to your Kindle and begin reading immediately.

The hard part is knowing what books — or movies, or DVD’s, or video games — are being released each week so that you can be prepared ahead of time.  Sometimes things get released and you just haven’t been paying attention.
