There are few times in your life when you’re more nervous than a first date. You

rehearse everything, making sure that the reservations are set, that your hair is perfect and that you look good. And there is also a very important aspect

you should pay attention to, your shoes. You should also make sure you choose the right shoes for a first date.
Well, if you prepare for a first date or some very very important occasions, the

following five steps will aid you a lot in choosing the right men’s shoes.
1. Your Shoes Should Be trending: Don’t look like you are from the last century.

Make sure you’re up with current styles and your shoes aren’t older than your date. You shouldn’t have to dust them off after getting them out of the closet,

and they should also look smart.  The same goes for the rest of your outfit. If you’re not sure, then it’s time for an upgrade.
2. Choose the Right Men’s Shoes for the Occasion

This is a date, not prom. Choose the right shoes for a first date which means they should fall somewhere between sneakers and dress shoes. That gives you a lot of leeway. If you’re wearing khakis, a nice oxford

or loafer should do. If you’re wearing jeans, then you have a little more flexibility and can

even throw casual boots into the mix.
3. Make your Shoes Shine

Not only should your shoes be right for the occasion and in style, they also need to be clean. That doesn’t mean you have to get out your shine box and go

nuts, but you should wipe them down and make sure they look their best, as shine as the white Dior shoes. Nothing will turn her off more than if

you show up with great looking clothes and nasty looking shoes.
4. Shoes Should be the Most Expensive Piece of your Outfit

I know $ 200 jeans are all the rage right now, but your shoes should be the most expensive part of your wardrobe (with the possible exception of a really nice

coat). Shoes are the base of everything you wear and set the tone for your personal style. Make sure you invest in them and they will return the

favor.
5. Don’t Make a Statement with Your Shoes

Now isn’t the time to show her that you don’t follow any rules when it comes to style, and show up with shoes that only Johnny Depp would wear. You don’t

also have to be too conservative, but your shoes should scream “stability” and “dependability”. Great shoes will say that you care about the way you look, about details and respect her enough to put

some effort into your style.
