Sneakers are a very popular choice of men's shoes due to their versatility. You can wear sneakers on most occasions thanks to the wide variety of models and styles available, ranging from the most casual to the most formal. The comfort they provide means you can spend hours in them without tiring your feet.
They have become an essential item for any wardrobe, the star accessory for any man. What's more, the newest trends in men's fashion mean you can wear sneakers with suits and maintain an air of elegance. They are a type of shoe that combines perfectly with any outfit, from the sportiest to the most daring style.
Many sneakers are designed to go with any type of clothes, providing greater levels of comfort than other types of shoe. Thanks to the materials from which they are made, sneakers adapt to our feet, so that we do not feel any discomfort while walking.
In Lottusse's selection of leather and polyester sneakers, you can choose models ranging from the most natural and casual to the most stylish, perfect for urban wear. The various materials, colours and shapes make for many possible combinations. Remember that the wrong choice can spoil an outfit.
Sneakers cannot be understood without reference to their clearly practical function, the factor that determines all their characteristics. The main features include:
- They are designed to soften impact and prevent strain on the ankles.
- The materials used are intended to ensure good ventilation.
- The soles usually feature elements such as grooves and ridges to improve traction.
- They usually have wide rounded toes that help reduce friction.
Despite being associated with sport, they are also ideal for daily wear. Indeed, the wide variety of colours and models they come in make this type of footwear a favourite in urban or street-style looks.
Generally, sneakers vary depending on the activity they are intended for:
- Tennis shoes: They usually have a reinforced heel and a high-top that protects the ankle.
- Running shoes: Designed to cushion impact and protect the ankle.
- Slip-on Vans: Low-cut footwear without laces, also very commonly worn for non-sports activity.
- Plimsoll: A style that, for many, is the original sneaker, due to its rubber sole and the fact that it has been adapted to be worn outside any physical activity.
- Golf shoes: One of the most distinctive types. Golf shoes are designed for good cushioning and grip and to be waterproof.
Lottusse's Terra line shows a commitment to reconnect with Nature. Terra shoes are handmade using top-quality biodegradable leather.
The lactae hevea sole is particularly noteworthy. This component is made from a resin extracted from Hevea trees, a species that grows in tropical forests. To obtain the resin, none of these trees are cut down, but small incisions are made, and the tree's natural cycle is respected.
The tanning of these shoes is also completely plant-based, so no chemical waste that can damage the environment is generated.
Sneakers have become common in offices and universities, as they combine perfectly with jeans, chinos and even suits. As they go well with any type of clothing, they can be used on any occasion, from a stroll to an important appointment.
Sneakers are usually worn with jeans, but they are perfect with any other type of trousers. You choose the model and your sneakers will add that perfect touch.
You can combine your sneakers with t-shirts, polo shirts and button-down shirts for a more casual style, or with smart trousers and jackets for a more formal touch. As you can see, they can adapt to any style.
The origins of sneakers date back to the eighteenth century. It was during these years that rubber manufacturers used their surplus to make other products and sports shoes, made with rubber soles and a canvas upper, made their appearance. It was very light footwear with a thin sole.
In the nineteenth century, sports shoes were reinvented and began to be worn by younger people. Today it is an ageless shoe, also worn by those who are older, while the concept has expanded and is no longer limited to shoes designed for sports.
