Men's fashion footwear has expanded significantly beyond simple shoes. There is now a wide variety of styles available, including pointed shoes, ankle strap shoes, oxfords, monk strap shoes, and wing tip shoes. Younger men prefer more fashionable pointed shoes, while loafers remain popular for retired men. Long boots are favored for their protective and stylish qualities. Traditional footwear also remains important in some areas, like Asia, where khusa, kharee, and slippers are commonly worn for occasions and everyday use.
