Men's Lifestyle Shoes/Sneakers

At Sportitude we have a large selection of sneakers for men. Sneakers are sport-inspired fashion shoes, and they’re suitable for everyday wear. They have been designed for comfort and style more than performance. These shoes are suitable for people that enjoy the look of sports shoes but don’t necessarily need the support and internal structures you’d get in most standard running shoes, trail running shoes or cross training shoes. If you’re after the look of a sports shoe, but need something more comfortable to wear all day long then sneakers are a great choice. You’ll see many workers who are on their feet all day (e.g., nurses, retail staff, waiters, etc.) using them as they offer comfort and support for walking activities and long periods of wear.

When looking for sneakers for men, you can choose from brands such as Nike, Asics, Adidas, and many others. If you need something that offers support for training or other running activities you may be more suited to a specific running shoe, for those you can choose from brands like Mizuno and Brooks. You can search our online shop by brand, size, style, fit and colours to easily locate the shoes that are perfect for whatever activity you’re doing.

After you choose the sneakers you’d like, have a look through our sports clothing and pick out some matching socks, or a training shirt that truly complements your sense of style.

How to choose sneakers for men?

If you're looking to buy sneakers for men, something you’ll need to know is what size do they need? Most sneakers conform to a standard size, if you’re buying them for someone else you can take a look at their current sneakers to find the correct size. Shoe width is another important factor, take note if they need a wide fitting shoe as some men find narrow shoes too tight. If you’re not sure you can either measure the width of their current shoes or ask. Once you’ve established what size and width they’d like, it’s time to move onto the more enjoyable part and choose the perfect pair.

Sneakers for men are a comfortable shoe that are designed to have the same appearance as many sports shoes. You can find some that look like tennis shoes, hiking shoes, basketball shoes or even netball shoes. They are perfect for wearing to your sport of choice and then changing into the shoes you wear during play. This will keep your sports shoes protected and offer you comfortable wearing shoes for the ride home.

When buying sneakers for men consider if they have a brand preference. Many people like to keep buying the same sneakers all the time. If they have a closet full of a single brand of sneakers then it’s a safe bet that they’d prefer something the same. As brands release sneakers with every season, you can usually find something new and interesting.

If you happen to purchase shoes that are not the right style or size, you can make use of our 30-day returns policy and then find something that is a better fit. As we offer free shipping on purchases over $100, that's a great reason to buy yourself a new pair of sneakers at the same time.

Where to buy good quality sneakers for men?

At Sportitude we sell a variety of sneakers for men, you can find a pair to suit any budget. If you’re into high-quality sneakers in the latest styles we have those for you. To find some sneakers in your price range you can search by using the filter by price selection on our online shop. Generally, the price of a sneaker will reflect the quality of the build, and often more expensive shoes will last longer than others.

As sneakers are predominantly used for walking and not heavy exercise, you have more freedom to choose shoes that appeal to your sense of fashion, rather than focus on their performance. However, as you’ll most likely be wearing the shoes all day, finding a pair that is comfortable is also an excellent idea.

Sneakers have been designed for the look and feel of running shoes, but not the structural and performance benefits. If you need shoes for running you may be better suited to a pair of men’s running shoes (or women’s running shoes). These are better designed to cope with the stress of running on hard surfaces and will last much longer during regular running activities.

How to clean sneakers for men at home?

Cleaning your sneakers is a great way to keep them protected and lasting longer. All shoes and sneakers for men should be cleaned regularly, and depending on the exact materials there are a few different methods.

If you have a few pairs to get through then setting up a workstation with all the tools required will make the cleaning process go much faster. Cleaning shoes is a fast job, especially if completed regularly. It can take some time for shoes to dry properly, so this job might best be completed on a Sunday afternoon when you’re finished with your shoes for the weekend.

The items you’ll need to completely clean your shoes are a bowl of hot to warm water, sensitive washing detergent, a small soft-bristled brush (a toothbrush is ideal), a larger soft brush, newspaper, and dry cloth. Here we have outlined the most common method for cleaning shoes:

1. Use the brushes to clean any soil or grass deposits. Start with the upper and then the sole.
2. If the soil does not come off using some water and keep scrubbing. For soft fabrics go easy and use light pressure to stop from damaging it.
3. After you’re happy with the results, dry the sneakers with the cloth.
4. Take some balled up newspaper and put it into the sneakers, this will help maintain their shape.
5. Place the sneakers in a warm place inside to dry out. Don’t put them out in the sun (or the clothes dryer) as this will warp them.

If you use your sneakers every day, it may be a good idea to have a few pairs. This way you have something to wear while the others are drying. It can take a day for shoes to completely dry out and be suitable for wearing, although this depends on how wet they get during the cleaning process.

What sneakers for men go with everything?

When considering sneakers for men that can be worn with many other clothes go for a single colour theme. What we mean by this is to choose sneakers that are predominantly one colour. Black, brown and whites are all standard sneaker colours. This will give you the best option for your sneakers to fit in with any other outfit.

There may not be a simple solution for a sneaker that absolutely goes with everything. For best results, we’d recommend getting a black and a brown coloured pair. These will match with most pants and outfits; you’ll be comfortable and look great at the same time. When choosing your shoes remember that we offer free shipping for purchases over $100, and that is a great reason to pick out a second pair!
