Yesterday we talked about the shoes every
Nigerian woman should own… today, let’s talk about the men!

Men’s fashion in Nigeria is evolving, but when it comes to shoes, many guys are either doing too much… or not enough.

The goal isn’t to own plenty shoes.
It’s to own the right ones that actually fit your lifestyle.

Everyday Essentials (What you’ll wear the most)

1. White Sneakers
Clean, versatile, and always correct.
If you don’t have this, start here.

2. Slides
For quick outings, errands, and relaxed days.

3. Leather Sandals
Perfect for the weather. Simple, breathable, and stylish when done right.

4. Running Sneakers
For comfort, movement, and busy days.

Smart & Put-Together
5. Loafers
Effortless and sharp. Works for office, church, and casual events.

6. Derby / Oxford Shoes
Every man needs at least one proper formal shoe.

7. Driving Shoes / Moccasins
Relaxed but still polished. Great for smart casual looks.

8. Chelsea Boots
Not everyday in Nigeria, but perfect for travel, harmattan, or styled evenings.

Style & Statement
9. Monk Strap Shoes
For when you want to stand out without being loud.
10. Suede Loafers
Adds texture and a more elevated finish to your outfit.
11. Statement Sneakers
For casual fits that need personality.

Must Have’s !
12. Rain-Friendly / Waterproof Shoes
Rainy season will test your wardrobe, better to be prepared than uncomfortable.

That’s kool !

What about boots like timberland for rough days

For this Economy?
Well, most men no dey really get pass 2-3 shoes.

But I get like 5 of 12.

I have almost all. But how many do I wear?

I no dey wear reach four of my shoes. They are just occupying space in my shoe rack.

Maybe I will do giveaway someday.

It’s not a must you have them all. Just be sure that you take care of the ones you have.. no do pass yourself..

Men very simple in summary
1. Leather Slides aka palm slippers
2. Casual... Multipurpose sneakers
3. Corporate.... Loafers or Oxford or mocassin

Person never chop belle full, na 12 shoes u dey talk of.

You suppose to add casual sandals like Teva and also crocs footwear to your list

Interesting

12 Nigerian shoes indeed

I'd need to count but I don't think I even own up to 12 shoes.

Owning many shoes is good because it gives one confidence and options whenever you want to step out.

My advice here is never buy sneakers from Skechers in ShopRite mall because their sneakers are purposely designed to disintegrate after few years, weather you use it or not.
I bought 6 pairs of expensive sneakers from them and all of them went bad thesame time even with light use. Meanwhile other expensive brands I have are still very good after many years of use.

So we are talking about classic men here
These are for boys
We already used this around 01 02 03
I have about 8 of them on the list

You see those teva sandals they are just too fine and comfortable

It depends on the nature of one's job and age.
The heading isn't ideal.

My problem na size bro. Ever since I left Lagos to settle in Benin. To get my size dry hard die. Abeg any information on where to get big sizes would be appreciated. I don't mind the way bill. American size 13.5 or 14. UK size 48

You failed to add rubber sleepers 😂.


You can't do without this.
You did not even add rainboot 😂.

I got numbers 2*4*6*9 and one other one that's not here

When I no be Dino Melaye?
You typically will not wear more than 4 in a year
It is waste of time and money

Nigerians generally walk on wrong foot wears, particularly in the rainy seasons.Walk around during rainy seasons and you would find no one wearing rainy boots,rainy coats on the rainy and muddy roads.

This government wants to see us Naked and shoeless,, I dey work but salary no dey reach me 2 weeks

So lucky I have all these listed shoes.
Thank you Lord
