What Are BOLD Shoes, and Should You Wear Them?

About this video

McGoff explores what makes shoes ‘bold’ and how to incorporate them into a men’s wardrobe as a stylistic progression. He identifies two key characteristics of bold shoes—contrasting colors and mixed materials—and argues that once a man has mastered foundational style principles and built a solid shoe collection, adding bold shoes can express personality while maintaining timelessness.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends looking for two characteristics in bold shoes: contrasting colors (like two-tone leather) and mixed materials (like leather combined with suede) to ensure they remain timeless rather than trendy
• McGoff argues that bold shoes work best after mastering style fundamentals and building essential dress shoe staples; he suggests adding at least one bold pair to an established collection
• McGoff claims bold shoes offer three benefits: they ensure individuality since few others wear them, they serve as conversation starters, and they subtly radiate confidence
