The world of men's fashion footwear is growing and how! 

There was once a time when shoes were made with some basic materials; there was animal leather, animal skin or rexine. But today, with the world becoming a lot more conscious, there are more eco-friendly versions of everything, including shoes for men that are appearing on the scene. These are just some of the materials that are being used today:

• Organic cotton – Yes, what is used to make your shirts and pants is also being used to make your shoes!

• Hemp – Like cotton, hemp is yet another natural fiber that is being professionally used to create interesting and biodegradable footwear. 

• Recycled plastics – Given that plastic is not biodegradable, ways have been found to recycle it and create some interesting and long-lasting footwear. 

• Rubber – Rubber, although in some rudimentary form was used to make footwear, there are now some genuine improvements and the shoes made with this material are durable and stylish! 

• Vegan leather – If you want that look of leather, but without the animal cruelty, then vegan leather might be the answer for you! 

• Cork – You might have noticed cork in the wedge heels for women commonly, but did you know that it is becoming increasingly popular with men’s footwear too!  

What shoes for men should you invest in 

• Formal shoes – If you are an office goer, then one of the most essential shoes that you will need will be men's footwear of the formal type. You can consider lace ups such as Oxfords or even the slip on versions. For office, you will want more serious colours such as black and tan.  

• Sneakers – For all those casual outings and times when you want something that is super comfortable and easy to wear and walk around in, sneakers will be the best bet. At Meolaa, you will be able to find some of the most trending sneakers in a range of colours, designs and sizes. 

• Slip-Ons – When you are in a hurry or are just not in the mood to put in the effort to actually wear a lace up shoe, you will want to consider slip-ons. The slip-ons that you can find at Meolaa are easy to wear and easier to maintain. 

• Slides – These are the perfect options for when you are in the mood to lounge around and slides are designed to offer immense comfort. Meolaa brings to you a wide variety of slides and you will be able to pick based on your personal preferences.

• Do not store your socks inside the shoes, especially used socks. 

• When not in use, keep the shoes in a dark and dry place.
