Sneakers: the everyday choice
A clean sneaker works with jeans, chinos and even a smart-casual shirt. It is the pair most men wear the most.
- [Hermès Bouncing Grey Sneaker](/en/p/hermes-bouncing-grey-sneaker-men) is a neutral colour that goes with almost everything
- [Hermès Bouncing Stormy Gray Sneaker](/en/p/hermes-bouncing-stormy-gray-sneaker-men) is a slightly deeper grey for a sporty look
- [Hermès Bouncing Brown Sneaker](/en/p/hermes-bouncing-brown-sneaker-men) adds a warmer tone
- [Loro Piana Week-End Walk Wheat Stitch Sneaker](/en/p/loro-piana-week-end-walk-wheat-stitch-sneaker-men) has a light, relaxed look
- [Loro Piana Week-End Walk May Field Sneaker](/en/p/loro-piana-week-end-walk-may-field-sneaker-men) brings a touch of colour

Loafers: smart and easy
Loafers are slip-on, light and easy to dress up for dinner or a business lunch. Try the [Loro Piana Summer Walk Brown Loafer](/en/p/loro-piana-summer-walk-brown-loafer-men), which works with chinos, linen trousers or tailored shorts in warm weather.
Sandals: made for summer
When the weather is hot, a good sandal is the most comfortable option. The Hermès Kazimir sandal comes in three colours:
- [Hermès Kazimir Black Sandal](/en/p/hermes-kazimir-black-sandal-men)
- [Hermès Kazimir Smoky Brown Sandal](/en/p/hermes-kazimir-smoky-brown-sandal-men)
- [Hermès Kazimir Black & Tundra Green Sandal](/en/p/hermes-kazimir-black-tundra-green-sandal-men)
How to choose the right pair
- Occasion: sneakers for daily wear, loafers for smart events, sandals for beach and holidays
- Colour: grey, brown and black are the easiest to match with your wardrobe
- Comfort: choose the style you will actually wear often, and check the size information on the product page
- Outfit: match the shoes with your belt, watch or bag for a put-together look. See our [watch buying guide](/en/journal/luxury-watch-buying-guide-uae) for ideas
Looking after your shoes
- Wipe them gently after wearing, especially after dust or sand
- Let them air dry away from direct sun and heat
- Keep them in a dust bag or box when not in use
- Rotate your pairs so each one lasts longer
