We’re already in our second month of Fall down South but it’s not too late to consider these 8 fall shoes for Southern men. Sure we’d all love to putz around in our favorite pair of boat shoes or flip-flops, but sometimes we have to put on our adult hat and, in turn, our adult shoes. A great shoe can really make or break almost any look.
