One thing most dads have in common is they’re on the move. They also want (hope?) to be cool. Here’s a perfect selection of cool shoes for cool dads on the move — just in time for Father’s Day. It’s not the biggest list. Enormous lists can’t be cool. That’s the thing about cool — it’s a little exclusive, while also being open to difference, honoring difference.
[pictured: These Ecco golf shoes are cool, but crazy expensive at more than $2,000. The rest of the list is easier on the wallet!]
Here the ultimate cool shoes selection has lots of difference — the prices range from UNDER $20 to way up there where we can only say go ahead, if you need to. (Note the $2,000 golf shoes above.) The styles here are plenty different, but they can still all fit together with the fashion of any cool dad on the move. Moving from classic Puma Suedes to the cool Calvin Klein nylon oxfords (first on the list) should be pretty seamless action for a father with style. Here’s the perfect 7 cool shoes selection by 2paragraphs.
