Tired of the same old white sneakers and looking for something a little classier?
In ancient Greece, footwear was the key element in a man's wardrobe. They had to be able to support physical weight, making long walks easier, as well as being sociable. Today, investing in a pair of shoes remains essential: you want to be able to alternate business and personal appointments without having to go home.
Brentiny Paris offers men's city shoes from the best brands. They combine comfort, practicality and quality to suit all tastes, and can be paired with your favorite casual jeans or quilted winter jacket !
While sneakers have had and continue to have their moment of glory on French feet, classic moccasins, derbies and Richelieu shoes are making a comeback on the men's catwalks. And whether you're off for a bike ride, a date or work, if you're looking for the perfect pair of shoes, you'll find them in this catalog. Shoes are only as good as their craftsmanship, and at Brentiny Paris, we're committed to being at the cutting edge of both modernity and quality. Our products are perfectly crafted from the finest materials.
When it comes to men's dress shoes, the Richelieu is the Rolls-Royce of shoes. Hardly imaginable before without a suit, they are now worn on the catwalk with chinos and even jeans. Generally sewn from a single piece of leather and fitted with 4, 5 or 6 eyelets, these shoes are known for their foot-slimming, sober styling. Bold, they symbolize the urban spirit.
For those who criticize Richelieu shoes for being too formal, derbies are a good alternative. Less connotated and just as classy, they can be recognized by their two yokes closed by laces. The wide sole of this urban masculine pair can be explained by the model's rural origins. But it's no less elegant; choose smooth or suede leather over grained leather and you'll be at the height of your style and comfort, gentlemen! They work very well with flannel pants.
Worthy heirs to the derby and Richelieu, moccasins are the men's shoe you see everywhere! Although the unloved shoe had been rehabilitated in ladies' dressing rooms, it was still a rarity in men's closets. That was without counting on the talent of Alessandro Michele, who has definitely dusted them off at Gucci Hommes since 2021.
Comfortable and lightweight, moccasins derive their originality from their lack of laces. Originally worn by the Armenian and Amerindian peoples, they became popular thanks to their simplicity. At first, they were seen as indoor shoes, before students took them over. With tassels, bits or studs, the great ally of this urban pair is denim. Richelieu and derby shoes lend themselves more to light fabrics: linen, flannel and cotton, but loafers have a monopoly on denim. And if lace-up shoes have a timeless style, who can complain about saving a few minutes by slipping on these slip-on shoes!
The double-buckle or monk strap is identifiable by its flap, closed by one or two metal buckles, which replaces traditional lacing. Emblematic of the Italian men's wardrobe, this urban pair of shoes is distinguished from others by its alternative fastening. For a more modern look, you can opt for a straight toe. Although this urban model remains a little marginal, it is perhaps the one that lends itself most to different types of events. Many designers have sensed this revival and are busy rethinking double-buckles: variations on the sole (colored rubber sole), on the color (suede leather or two-tone canvas/leather). Find the version you like!
But whatever the occasion or style, a stylish pair of men's shoes can make all the difference. At Brentiny Paris, whether you prefer patent leather or snakeskin effect, whether you prefer a round, square or pointed toe, you'll find what you're looking for. Our showcase offers a multitude of choices so you can find your ideal pair of men's dress shoes, at unbeatable prices. Whether he's a sportsman, a businessman or an intellectual, the man of the 21st century knows all about urban fashion trends. He'll know how to choose the right colors, black brogues or brown brogues, the right materials and finalize his outfit with the pair of shoes he's always dreamed of. Because no matter how wandering the road, if you've got the right shoes, you can make it!
