Lace up this fall with the hottest trends in men's footwear.

When guys get dressed there's one thing they always seem to forget about: their feet. This fall, get dressed from head to toe and complete your look with a great pair of shoes. These days there's no such thing as fashion versus function, and you can find a pair of stylish, durable and comfortable shoes for your feet to be with you every step of the way.

Start by going through your current shoe collection and getting rid of anything you don't need. Shoes that are old, worn and dirty have no place in a fashionable wardrobe, and anything with holes in them have got to go. Once you've made room in your closet, head out and shop for this season's hottest shoe styles.

Autumn weather is changeable at the best of times, so it's important to have a few different styles to keep your feet comfortable no matter what you're up to. Aim to have at least one pair of casual shoes and one pair of formal shoes that will go with anything, and it's also a good idea to invest in a pair of short boots for rainy or muddy days.

Choose a pair of casual shoes that you can move around in and that will look great with anything. Consider what colour your jackets are when you're choosing between different she styles, and when you're out shopping make sure to wear your favourite pair of pants so you can see exactly how they'll look.

This season, canvas boots and plimsolls are particularly popular, and shoes in grey, navy blue and black will be versatile enough to match with anything you're wearing and are great for weekend adventures and warm fall afternoons. These shoes are made to be light, comfortable and breathable, so avoid wearing them on cold, rainy days to keep your feet dry.

If you want a slightly more formal look than your trusty pair of trainers, then boat shoes are a great option for fall. No longer strictly the footwear of the high seas, boat shoes are a classic addition to any wardrobe and look great dressed up or dressed down. Since it's the fall, look for brown leather boat shoes or other deep colours, or branch out and try a pair of dark denim cadet loafers.

For the office, leather is a classic look and will be durable enough to last through all types of weather. Look for wing tip, round or point toe lace ups, and pair these with a form fitting suit to look both professional and stylish. If comfort is what you're after, try a pair of brown leather slip on shoes. If you're going to choose slip-ons or loafers over lace-ups, then make sure you're choosing a sleek pair with wing tip or pointed toes to keep them updated and modern.

Once you have your wardrobe all sorted, look down to your feet and update your shoe collection, and look to this season's hottest mens shoes to help keep you looking your best step-by-step.
