Many unsubscribed when she said "these are my bf's sneakers." Lol
Those are newbs because most of us knew she had a bf and probably follow his channel 👀 lol
Lol I discovered Courtney through her bf 😂😂
@@SAMX4949 same lol
@@SAMX4949 who is he?
Not me. I unsubscribed when she said she was from Ohio.
I wore my slippers to Target last week. I figure, I’m wearing a mask, all rules are OFF.
I like that concept.
😂 I love it!
Also, if you're seeing no lips turn up that's tantamount to good feedback.
Really enjoy the content you put out! It’s really nice to hear everything from men’s wear to dating advice from a woman’s perspective. Keep up the good work!
Make sure to SHOES wisely when it comes to picking the right footwear! I’ll see myself out...
😂😂😂😂
Clever....
That joke made me SNEAKER!
U have no sole....
Hook teddy up and clean up shoes for a valentines gift. 😝
wow i just came across this channel and i love it so much , your so friendly and the calm voice and the content its just so good !
Yesterday i just decided buying shoes for building my wardrobe and you uploaded video with exact topic all I need . Thank you Courtney Ryan this video help me lot .
Great content as always!!! You've helped me take my style up a notch....
Another cool video. 😁
I love how you come up with varied and helpful tips on subjects that alot of us guys don't think too much about.
Really appreciate an honest woman's perspective.
I'm adding a couple of new shoes to my collection, so thank you!
Tip: when you feel like you have nothing to wear, start with the shoes. The shoes will set the tone for the entire outfit, so consider how formal the event will be. If it’s just class at uni, start with a comfortable shoe that is not dressy and build your way up, so on and so forth...
That Mr. Clean magic eraser point is straight FACTS! I've been using one for the better part of a decade, and I have to say that Courtney is 100% right on this.
Do you have a link to it?
Love your passion for solid colored shoes. The way you feel about white sneakers, is the way that I feel about solid black sneakers
Hello Courtney,
I absolutely love the videos you post. You are by far the most humble and kind style/relationship expert I've ever seen on youtube!
You're very inspiring, can't wait to see what you post next! I hope life is treating you well during these uncertain times we're living in.
I have a question about Chelsea boots. Can a guy can wear black chelsea boots with a semi formal black suit?
Sincerely,
Danny
Thursday boots are the truth 🙌 i have the black matte.
Great tips Courtney, totally agreed! As someone whose personal style is obsessively basic and minimal (exclusively black and grey), here's what I've found:
- Chelsea boots are awesome, just don't approach them like dress shoes. No patent or highly polished leathers, no flat soles and low heels, no pointy toes. When in doubt, better to go slightly chunkier. This avoids the "skinny jeans and Chelsea boots" stereotype. I love Blundstones for daily wear- they go with everything- and I like Beckett Simonon's Preston model for a slightly nicer look like dark denim and a grey blazer.
- I wear boots and high-tops exclusively as I have a weird aversion to showing my ankles, ever, and I think the taller profile of a boot makes for a nicer visual transition from foot to leg. My dress shoes are actually dress boots. Loake and Herring make a variety of great models, decent quality leather for very affordable prices, made in the UK.
- Since I usually wear black, I go with a black sneaker instead of white. High-top, of course. Recently graduated from Jak to Crown, and I love them. Never used to think of myself as a "fashion sneaker" guy but now I really enjoy wearing them.
- Don't shy away from taller-shafted boots. I've worn a pair of Chippewa 12" engineers for over 7 years and 3 resoles and they're still going strong. This is a secret weapon for short guys too- the naturally taller heel of engineer/motorcycle boots can add a half-inch or even a full inch to your height.
- All of these look better with slim, straight jeans or a very slight boot cut. The hem should reach all the way to the shoe- no excess fabric stacking, and definitely not cropped above the ankle. Skinny jeans are over, guys- and if we're being honest, we should all admit that they never looked good in the first place. Straight-fit pants looked good in the 60s, and in the 80s, and they're still the best option today.
I think this is good advice; start with the basics and go from there. Good suggestion Courtney 👍
It rains where I live (Ontario, Canada) so on those days I wear a pair of black Nike “Duck” boots (they are like AF 1’s) but are waterproof.
It also snows where I am, so I wear either a brown or black Dakota 529 work boot. Also use those when cutting the grass/gardening.
You have a very pleasant and sympathetic aura. Watching your videos is always relaxing and interesting. Thank you and keep the good work up! 😊
Maaan, I just rock running shoes 24/7
Love watching you and the knowledge you give💞
I stumbled across Courtney yesterday, and 24 hours later I’ve binge watched all her videos. Oh she’s gorgeous too.
That’s so crazy. I have a video coming out soon talking about versatility in your wardrobe. Also, Stan Smiths for the win!
Good list Courtney!
FYI - Stan Smith runs a half size big.
I tried Thursday boots. I was shocked at how heavy they were. Heavier than a pair of steel toe I have. Not for me.
I went with AF Brown Suede lace up.
I'm so proud of myself and my Johnson & Murphy shoes now!
Touched on it with the sneakers, but it applies to the other styles too. Take care of your shoes/boots. Especially if you go for leather. Shoe polish and leather conditioner along with a quality shoe/boot will make it so your investment lasts for years. Great list. That being said, my preferred boot is a leather lace up from Red Wing boots called the Blacksmith in a color they call Briar. I've had them for years and they're a great boot.
At first I was reluctant to watch Courtney’s videos, focusing on the Daddy of TH-cam Alpha M. and for some reason thinking that watching one or the other were mutually exclusive. After watching some of her videos here and there and now subscribing, I’m loving the content. Excellent advice on a consistent basis, not condescending either, and as a guy it’s quite beneficial to hear a woman’s perspective as well. Genuinely helpful. Thanks Courtney
Ahhh thank you so much! I think it’s great there are so many different TH-camrs to watch and I think we all offer something unique. Thanks for the comment, Sam! Happy to have you here! 👏🏼
💯 true that!
Good on you, only watching Aaron would be quite narrow minded and not wise at all imo, says and does some stuff that is just not right and you need some other people to correct him on that
Alpha M spits the shittiest content EVER.
@@ronit.pereira7172 he is a cookie cutter channel
Great video! Personally I think lightning mcqueen skechers are underrated, and deserve an honorable mention. Must have for men!
My first video watching on this channel and I can say that she could break out into narrative content on tv, she has a great voice
Great video Courtney! I could not choose only one pair so I will go with the Adidas Stan Smith full white and the Dr Martens 1461 for the smart look. In winter my favs are the Dr Martens black boots with no doubt!
Much as I love Courtney's new videos, man, it was lovely watching this oldy. I love style, Courtney clearly has a passion for it and knowledge of it. If you're reading this Courtney, would love to see more style-centric videos. All the best.
That is literally the four pairs of shoes I own 😂
Brilliant content as always, and relevant for both modern and classic styles
Now every other guy will have all four of your shoes.
@@kwarkoocoxs2153 😂😂
the perfect video on shoes available online, thanks for this video 🛐
For those interested in saving money, Adidas now has a low cut all white shoe with a leather upper called the "Nizza RF". It is currently for sale on the Adidas website for $48 (marked down from $80). It is lower cut than the regular Stan Smiths. It is similar to the old Jack Purcell canvas sneakers, but with a leather upper and some leather lining. It does have a minimalist heel pull but no labelling markings except for an almost unnoticeable 'Adidas' in grey and white on the tongue. In addition there is stiching on the sides instead of the air holes, reminiscent of the old KSwiss sneakers. Very nice for the price, but comfort wise a lot like the old Jack Purcells (not terribly cushy). I will add that the more cream colored sole contrasts a bit with the white uppers which I actually like . . .
Great list and recommendations! Nice to know I nailed all those shoes except the white casual sneakers. I’m sticking with my black converse, way less maintenance. They go great with jeans. Big fan of Thursday boots and the stylish shoes from Johnson & Murphy. You should also do a list on best shoes and sandals for men wearing shorts.
Sending love from Miami, Florida, USA 🇺🇲. I personally love Puma shoes 👟 and flip flops
Chelsea boots are the real gentleman's trend! Keeping them well nourished and conditioned will maintain their newness for longer. Glad I'm subscribed to your channel Courtney who looks beautiful as always ❤️
This girl makes some of the best content out there.
Just a word of caution on the magic eraser tip, the reason they seem like magic is because they actually scrape away a slight layer of the shoe's fabric each time you use it--creating the appearance of the dirt/grime/gunk being wiped away. They are good for spot fixes here and there, but for really deep cleaning, it could end tearing away more of your fabric than you'd want.
For my white shoes, I use a shoe spray with a brush or a towel and that seems to do the trick. Big tip is to absolutely clean your shoes as soon as possible from when you notice that they're dirty, otherwise it will have more time to set in and be harder to clean later on
Oh gosh really?! I had no clue. Thanks for posting this!
Shout out from Ohio!
Hopefully get to meet you & Teddy some day and say thank you for the great advice:)
The standard for men's dress shoes, as far as I'm concerned, is the black Florsheim wing-tip oxford. I had several pair and had them re-soled and re-heeled dozens of times.
Good video, Courtney!
Well seriously i was so tired of choosing shoes to wear on a daily basis but with this advice i know what i have to do 😁✌️ thanks courtney
Love your video. Please do a video on men’s skin care!
Will do! Thank you 😊
That would be great! Hear hear!
4 for 4 🙌🏻 great video Courtney!
Awesome! Thanks Sean 😊
Love, Love Love Thursday Boots! In addition to multiple pairs of boots, I bought their white sneaker. Fantastic quality and value!
Aaand I would also add leather sandals as a great relaxed summer addition which looks way nice with shorts or ankle high chinos!
chelsea boots are my personal favorites 🔥
Same. They are so versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down! 👍
Why is there controversy about them? They look good. How can anyone go wrong with chelsea boots?
@@wesrm1 😭😭😭😭 they’ve become the shoe of the womanizer/hotep/misogynist. It’s like the stereotypical brunch shoe. Not even anything wrong with the shoe more than it is about people who wear it and the fact that what was once a joke has now become an official stereotype amongst millennial/genz yuppies
I think the penny / tassel loafers can be a great substitute for the white sneakers. Besides that this is a great list
Only if you NEVER wear anything more casual than business casual
Thursday Boots are my go to for almost any outfit year round (also since theyre leather it took a while for them to break in and for the first couple times I wore them they hurt my feet but after you break them in they're great) and white or black Vans for spring or summer. Also Timberlands are amazing for most situations, I personally wear mine hiking/camping and in the fall/winter.
Which pair of Thursdays are in this video? Is that the Arizona Captain or the burnt copper captain?
Hi Courtney, i love the way you talk.
Can you make a video about which style a guy should choose. I have been suffering to find the right style that fitts my personality😅
I love my timberland boots.
👏🏼 those are nice too.
I had my Tims for almost 20 yrs and after many years hiking around a dozen countries, they finally took a dump. I was heading back with a few miles left and my sole came off...Lucky I had duct tape for a temp fix.
@@fmfdocbotl4358 Tims are not for hiking.
I like them too but they are far from being the best. They’re not even resole-able.
@@AlexanderMason1 not really hiking but when I was traveling I wore them as I walked around Singapore and Kenya, etc
Shoes every guy needs:
1. Timberlands
2. Timberlands
3. Timberlands
4. Chuck Taylors/Converse
Facts 💯🦾
5. Air Force 1s
Haha I have 3 out of those 4 pairs, really good recommendations. I've never used boots for a place like university but I might give it a try.
I just bought two pairs of dressy shoes I never thought I would in my life, because, when you’re right you’re right.
I gotta push back a little on the "throw away the boat shoes." I keep a pair because I hate flip flops and I don't always like wearing sneakers with my chino/khaki shorts. What is important to remember is that under no circumstances are the boat shoes dressy.
IMO driving mocs are the perfect shoes to wear when using chino/khaki shorts and are a lot more versatile than boat shoes.
Your videos are really a breath of fresh air. In a sea of these toxic alpha male videos, hearing a female take on men's fashion is really refreshing. Keep it up!
Very helpful once again. Could you please make a video about jackets an coats guys should own? Thanks Courtney
Thank you so much Courtney 😊. I will buy one of these shoes 👟. My favorite are dress shoes 👞.
Ever thought of talking about men's physique, want to know that type girls want
Let me help you, they want tall, slender, muscular guys. Which is why I have no girlfriends.
@@locutusdborg126 all that bullshit , its all about "Confidence"
@@OoooooSsssssssss to an extent. If you look like the goddamn slender man or you look like you've never eaten a vegetable or gone for a run once in your life, confidence will only get you so far. But if you're not obese or don't look like you have anorexia, then yeah confidence is one of the most important factors
Can we have a video where a man tells other girls what make up they should own.....
Great video! I know you limited your choices to 4, but I love my brown wingtips and penny loafers as a work horse that go great in the office and for leisure. Also, I purchased cowboy boots awhile ago to go country dancing and really limit them only for that. Are they cool to wear?
Hi Courtny,my favorites are the white sneakers. Thanks for the video, very informative.✌🏻
Love them! Thank you 😊
I did a shot every time she said “Mr Clean Magic Eraser” and now I’m dead.
Honestly I was not a fan of Boots earlier, but once I bought them, I realized how versatile and subtle they can be if paired properly.
I love my Thursday boots. They are perfect for the crazy northeast Ohio weather I have to deal with. They are super comfortable and they look kick ass.
4/4, great video as always!
P.S. That color on you looks great!
Good on the dress shoes and boots. Got black and brown leather sneakers half off with after Christmas sales. It certainly upped my jeans and chinos game.
Nice video, great information, precise and to the point . Looking forward to more videos.
Funny, I already have something similar to these. I also have some specific winter shoes since it's so snowy and salty.
Being diabetic and having neuropathy on my feet I am fairly limited to just using my orthopedic shoes i get from my podiatrist. That being said I do have dress shoes in the case of interviews or weddings I can wear, as I don't have them on long.
I am thinking if I can find some boots, and all-white sneakers with removable insoles, I can put my orthopedic soles in them instead. I'll also have to get more of them too, but it seems doable!
Ahh Thursday boots, when I discovered discovered them like 7 years ago I felt in love with boots. For me it is always complicated, I travel plenty and mostly to warm climates, can't carry many shoes and boots/dress shows in Thailand for a day out are not a great idea.
I am the kind that has never liked the white sneakers but I have to admit that they simply work, in mi view you may get a pair with a little distinctive detail or slightly different shade from white to look a bit different and it is all about what do you combine it with, I really despise looking like everyone else but you can pull it off.
Now, never forget the al mighty crocs, they work everywhere and for all purposes in you are in Asia xD
Hi Courtney awesome video and very informative like always!
What do you think about loafers or drivers shoes.
Great shoe selection options. I’m learning how important shoes are with any outfit. I’ll pick up some all white shoes and try out the tip on cleaning with the magic eraser...
They are so much more important than you’d think! 👏🏼 and the magic eraser is a game changer
Cool video! I like solid grays for sneakers. Wingtips are my favorite for dress shoes.🤘🏼
Hey I just bought a pair of Thursdays! I hadn't seen this video either. I just did a pretty exhaustive search and that's what I came up with. Great boots. Pretty supportive and comfortable too (obviously depending on which ones you get of course).
I love My Caterpillar boots,very useful in the winter time and even more for fights!🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Love your vids Courtney. Thanks!
No prob! ❤️
Thursday Boots for all your boot shoe and white sneaker needs !!! Leather Denim jackets too !
alright. you got my like :) I live in Canada so I wear leather lace up boots almost 7 months during the year.
I'm super pleased with my first Thursday's Boots purchase.
I agree with this,thanks Courtney!🥰
👏🏼❤️
Thanks I am glad you introduced me to Chelsea 🥾 it fits my personal style. Awesome 👌.
I bought, not to long ago, a pair of black leather chelsea boots and I love them so much. I was never a boot person until I bought these and they are my day to day shoe unless I am doing something more physical, that I go with an athletic shoe.
I just purchased a pair of Magnanni brogue dress boots. They're great, but when I look at the more rugged style of Thursday boots like the one you held up, (I think those are Captain's Tobacco, or Arizona Adobe or Terracotta), or something close to that, then I have to say,...I kind of want a pair of those too.
Im in love with the Chelsea’s
Spot on with those recommendations.
Hi Courtney! Great tips. You look good as usual.
Much appreciated!
Thank you Courtney!
As a slip on shoes lover, i have a few.. but i really like the new balance A17 and puma MY64. Other slip ons are by hugo boss green the maze slon tech, maze memory foam, akeen 1 arkansas and many more...
Thank you so much for such a great piece of advice.
I was about to buy dark brown suede chukka boots this fall so that I can wear it even in summers and spring. Do you think I should go ahead with it or chukka boots are ut of style?
Agreed on the shoe choices, though I'd add a one more. Let's recap:
- White sneakers -- I like this for basics. I'd go one further for those who don't like white sneakers, to go with white bottoms, neutral color (gum soles should go with Prada sneakers).
- Athletic shoes -- If in the gym, or running? Nike Free and Hoka low-profiles.
- Boots -- I recommend Frye boots, for the all-around stylish boots, with quality. A little pricey. but so worth it. Go with the John Addison Style, for solid results. I recommend four pairs; two mid cut, two regular cut; black, brown, and cherry leather goes a long way.
- Dress Shoes -- Again, I go with Frye dress shoes, though I also wear Johnston and Murphy shoes. One should have four dress shoes, IMO, though I believe one for every day of the week goes a long way. And if you don't know how to shine? Either learn, or have them sent to a shop. If you're working in downtown Cleveland, I recommend "The Brass Tack" in East 4th Arcade for shoe shine service. Get black, brown, cherry and tan, so you round out your look. If you get a fifth shoe? Have it in "matte", with the other four shined.
Now, the fifth one I think that is overlooked: LOAFERS. When getting loafers? Don't overshine. This shoe goes well with the relaxed, dressed for style, but not overdoing it set. Consider this, as you're wearing the suits or outfits with drawstring waist, the shirts that are untucked, and jackets that flow (Emporio Collezione Summer '23 for reference)
Great advice courtney... Really love it
You rock that green outfit btw😍
Right on point....great video. I have the other 3 but have never really been a white sneaker guy.....i may have to give them a shot now......keep up the good work, love your videos.....👏🏻 😷
My favorite are Doc Martin High tops, vans.
My favourite are sneakers, but black. There's almost no issue with getting them dirty. They look clean even if I don't have time to brush them, they can be dressed up, they can be dressed down, they are extremely versatile. But accidentaly I have almost the same set.
1. black sneakers,
2. shoes for workout,
3. winter boots,
4. more elegant pair to wear with a suit, or generally to dress up.
Plus a bonus: shoes for "special operations" like walking in the woods, hiking, shooting range, generally where they can get dirty easily.
My recommendations:
-Premium leather white sneakers with Margam soles (white and gum) Artisan Lab
-Thursday Captain Brown
-Black RM Williams Comfort Craftsman
-All black Nike Air max 270
-Black or brown leather Oxfords
-black leather mule slippers for home working 😁
Great advice Courtney. Thanks again :-)
Great video as always!
My favorite is the low-top hiking boot/shoes. General boots as well. My issue is it brings the tops of doorways that much lower so I have to be more aware I don't walk into them. Sooooo......I wear athletic shoes quite a bit as well and have more clearance (skull safety).
"A little beat up adds character"... Courtney you should see my Red Wing leather lace-up leather work boots. They have TONS of character!
I'll wear chukkas sometimes over regular laced up boots since I live in the warmer part of the country. Courtney, maybe you were thinking about the Clarke's desert boot. which is a casual shoe. I personally prefer leather chukkas.
No running shoes, Yes thursday boots! I'm wearing my first pair this month and absolutely love them. Get to stand out. Just have to manage the rain hahaha.
