Stop Wearing These 6 Shoes Immediately (Wear These Instead)
About this video
Centeno advises men to avoid square-toed shoes, Crocs worn casually, single monk straps, and redundant black shoe purchases. He recommends alternatives like rounded-toe or chisel-toe shoes, moccasins, sneakers, double monk straps, and oxblood or brown-toned oxfords, emphasizing proportions, comfort, versatility and wardrobe coordination.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that square-toed shoes have poor proportions and recommends rounded-toe or chisel-toe alternatives, which have better width ratios and visual appeal on the foot
- Centeno suggests replacing casual overuse of Crocs and running shoes with moccasins or sneakers for quick outings, and recommends his preferred brand Ace Marks for quality, comfortable sneakers and dress shoes
- Centeno advises moving beyond multiple black shoes by exploring oxblood, whole cuts, two-tone options, and classic bluchers in brown tones, which he argues offer better versatility and visual interest
