Teachers are up and down and on their feet all day long. The key to finding a great pair of men’s shoes for a teacher of any grade is a classic style and a comfort brand. You want to look up to date, be able to move easily and be supported properly throughout the day. No, we’re not going to highlight the trendiest styles for our teachers who are back in school and enriching young minds, but we will highlight some great styles from some well known, and some lesser known brands that will keep you comfortable all day long and keep you looking great as well!

We love the classics! This Earth Regan is a simple and formal Oxford style but with a twist – this shoe is souped up for all day comfort and long term back support and health. All Earth Shoes incorporate the Kalso Negative Heel Technology which angles your foot to shift your weight back over the heels, improving your posture and helping you to burn more calories and build core strength.

Also outfitted with specialized arch support and BioFoam cushioning, Earth shoes will feel like heaven to anyone on their feet or on the go all day long. So basically, this shoe appears to be a normal dress shoe, but it will actually help you get kit, improve your posture and provide you with all day comfort. We don’t think it gets much better than that.

Patagonia is a great brand to support, especially for any teachers with a green bent and an eco-friendly spirit. They also create classic styles out of durable materials and their shoes are designed for active folks, perfect for a dynamic teacher on the go! This shoe, the Patagonia Cedar is a casual, classic shape with simple details and most importantly a compression molded EVA footbed that provides maximum comfort that is also removable for cleaning!

Lace up to keep your shoe in place and featuring a full toe box for comfort, this shoe is also designed with a need for minimal adhesive and with eco-friendly leather processing the laces are made from scrap leather to further reduce waste!

Tsubo is a really interesting brand with a unique and modern look and this shoe, the Tsubo Plana which is considered a hybrid dress casual would be great for a young teacher on the go. The elastic lace up enclosure keeps a firm, comfortable and secure fit while the double density insole will keep your feet happy no matter how long you’re standing at the board or wandering the aisles helping students.

The leather is high quality and supple and although the shoe is modern in design it will look great with khaki’s, jeans or cords and will easily see you through the seasons. If you’re looking for an interesting and incredibly comfortable, high quality shoe, consider the Tsubo Plana – push your style envelope!

Finally, we had to highlight a great, classic loafer – and this option, the Geox Newport is a perfect combination of classic shape, modern styling and awesome comfort technology. Geox shoes are all specially designed with an ultralight, waterproof and breathable rubber outsole which offer traction, flexibility, temperature management and shock absorption.

With the great shape of this loafer, the super comfortable fit and feel and the temperature regulation, you can pace the halls at lightning speed, walk your classroom, and make it to all your meetings in comfort and style and your feet will stay dry, well supported and great looking all day long.
