Gear for the Guys: Great Shoes, Fun Socks and Travel Kit!

About this time of year, I find that lots of my male friends and family members have a need to restock their closets. This time of year through August is a great time to do it because of the many clothing sales going on at stores as well as back-to-school promotions. It’s a time for cleaning out the worn-out shirts and tees (including the ones with the holes) along with restocking both work and casual clothing. TThe basics of shoes and socks are particularly necessary because guys tend to not want to replace items until they are beaten up pretty badly.

Here are some specific styles of shoes and socks that you should check out for the restocking of a closet! The styles are current, fun and also would work well into fall. The styles show below are available via Shoes.com!
