Looking to reinvent your wardrobe rotation in 2026? It’s a good idea to start from the ground up (literally) and get your footwear in order. Check out our pick of 10 of the best men’s footwear choices for a stylish 2026 below:

New Balance 550 Sneaker – $110

From dominating on the court to stepping out in style all over the world, this is the sneaker with decades of performance behind it. With a low-top and streamlined shape, the 550 gives you an understated retro look, with synthetic suede details for a durable and athletic finish.

Astorflex JibFlex Chukka Boot – $275

The Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boot is yet another masterclass in making-them-like-they-used-to excellence from Astorflex’s 7th-generation workshop. The upper is crafted from a handsome roughout nubuck with moc-toe stitching and leather laces, giving the shoe a heritage-coastal style that sets it apart from other chukkas.

CLAE Bradley Sneaker – $170

CLAE raised the bar on this timeless look with high-end Italian leather and suede materials. Plus, their signature premium sole. Proving simple is anything but boring, the The Bradley is minimalism done exactly the right way.

Lems Trail Blazer Sneakers – $145

Lems’ most supportive trail sneaker yet, the Trail Blazer is for those who want both plenty of toe space and stability. A zero-drop platform helps to align your spine and encourage mid-foot strike, while a full rubber outsole can handle all types of rugged terrain. Topped off with a microfiber, mesh upper to promote air circulation while wicking away moisture, your feet will stay comfortable and cool at every elevation.

Unmarked DB Hunter Boots – $490

Unmarked calls the DB Hunter Boot “the perfect combat boot,” and it’s easy to see why. Crafted in Mexico from subtly pebbled bison pull-up leather (a hardy leather oiled for durability), they amp up the no-nonsense look of typical combat boots with top-tier hide that’ll develop a unique patina with every step you take. Inside, a plush Spanish leather lining and a leather-and-cork midsole creates a comfy fit that makes these boots a dream to wear.

&SONS Baseline Basketball High Top – £150

Inspired by a pair of original basketball High-Tops spotted in an archived article over a year ago, which lit the fuse for &SONS to set to work on their first pair of sneakers. They trawled through libraries of images to find photos of these iconic pieces, often seen on basketball courts and tracks worldwide as genuine sports footwear. 

Hard Graft Big Hairy Hike Boots – £558

These big boots are all-weather, all-year-round. Features the over-tongue hiking laces to keep dust and dirt out, a cemented construction, reinforced toe-caps and a lightweight hand-built crepe and rubber sole with a deep non-slip grip. Hard Graft has lined the uppers with smooth calfskin and given them a flexible deep tread just like the tires on that offroad 4×4. Care for them and they will take care of your feet for years to come. Made in Italy. To protect from splashes, stains or light rain, use a spray-on protector like Scotchguard®.

Grenson Studio Boots – £460

Cut from a matt military green rubberised leather, the Studio boot has brown elastic matching the dark brown storm welt and solid rubber commando sole. The boot has oversized cream pull loops in front and back with customised cabin branding. This style is made start to finish in the Grenson factory in Northamptonshire, UK.

LANX Ancoat Sneakers – £190

The Ancoats Sneaker is made in England, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Made from premium materials, they’re built to last while offering a sleek, versatile look. A perfect sidecar to a pair of our boots.

Walsh Ensign Sneakers – £130

Originally designed by Norman Walsh for the Bolton Harriers Athletic Club’s 1981 New York Marathon, the Ensign has evolved from a hiking-inspired running shoe into a timeless everyday essential — refined through decades of craftsmanship and innovation.
