With plenty of deals like two for £80 on styles that are ideal for wearing as part of both smart-casual and formal outfits, keeping the cold away never looked so good.

Low-Cost, Branded Classics

The sneaker market is a big game that turns over big bucks. But beyond the limited editions and collaborations, there has luckily always been a steady slew of classics within most wallet’s reach.

Provided they’re looked after, brands like Converse (Chuck Taylor), Nike (Cortez), Adidas (Stan Smith), Vans (Slip-On) and Superga (2750 Cotu) all offer greater cost-per-wear than many cheap alternatives.

ASOS

Every good wardrobe needs a solid foundation and this usually means a solid rotation of shoes for every occasion. But covering all the bases can quickly add up.

That’s where ASOS comes in. With plenty of sleek styles including well-engineered Derbies, loafers, Chelsea boots and monk-strap shoes in real leather or suede for around the £40 mark, the only issue is knowing when to stop.

Marks & Spencer

Historically one of the worst things to buy on a budget, many high-street retailers have cottoned on to the fact that there’s plenty of business to be had in affordable footwear.

M&S had been leading the charge in this arena for many years, making it a go-to for everything from city-slick dress shoes to cool-for-the-pool sandals.

Clarks Originals

All the best menswear pieces got their start in the military: the white T-shirt, the bomber jacket and, of course, the Clarks desert boot.

But the British shoemaker is about more than just this extremely versatile style. It also manufactures plenty of other distinct crepe sole shoes alongside a number of new innovative sneaker silhouettes.
