The Office-Friendly Way To Wear Slip-On Sneakers

If you’re they type of busy guy whose days include the 15K steps your smartwatch tells you to take and you favor a standing desk, the only sane solution is more comfortable shoes. We’re talking more cushioning with bouncier soles. And for guys who need to cut minutes out of their morning routine, slip-on sneakers are the easiest shoe to pull on when you’re running late or just can’t be bothered tying laces. Still, making sneakers look office appropriate is a style challenge capable of stumping even the most experienced dressers. Unless however, we’re talking about a sleek pair of leather slip-ons. Their streamlined silhouette and rich leather uppers make these dressed-up skate shoes your best bet for bridging the office style/comfort gap. They also make any suit look infinitely cooler. The way to make the style work in the workplace is to opt for a pair in black or deep navy (a.k.a. all-business hues). (Save the colors that satisfy your inner peacock—orange, yellow, olive green—for the weekend). See more at GQ.
