Sneakers

The first sneakers appeared in the late 1800s. What made them unique was their rubber sole which also gave the shoe its name. Much quieter than the leather sole of most shoes of the time, a person wearing these shoes was said to be able to sneak up on someone. Hence the name sneaker. Today the style has taken another step forward with the advent of dress sneakers and retro designs. For stylish downtime wear it is hard to beat a fashionable pair of men’s sneakers.

Chukka Boots

Chukka boots got their name from the game of polo where a chukka or chukker is a seven-minute period of play. These boots were similar to the boots worn by polo players after matches for their comfort. Any shoe named after a game is surely a great downtime footwear choice. Worn on the weekend with a pair of jeans, when it comes to both comfort and style, the chukka boot is also hard to beat. For downtime style, a suede or relaxed leather chukka boot work best.
