It’s true that shoes maketh the man. Besides, the first impression matters whenever it involves a person’s outer appearance from top to bottom. Whether you are looking to shop for a pair of classic leather shoes or casual sneakers, we have compiled our Top 10 Men’s Footwear Stores in KL & Selangor based on your votes below.
1) Zeve Shoes
This homegrown brand is the brainchild of Zaid Arif Zubir, the Kuala Lumpur-born founder who established the Zeve Shoes back in 2015. In case you are curious the meaning behind the brand, Zeve actually stands for “wolf” in Aramaic language which also symbolises the definition of the alpha male in his men’s shoe collection. Zaid’s love for Italian shoes is evident in many of his collection, as he uses only premium materials and finest cow leather available to handcraft each pair. You can find a diverse range of leather shoes ranging from loafers and boots to wingtips and sneakers, all affordably priced since Zeve sells the products directly from their factory without the markup from a middleman. Check out his collection on the website below or visit his boutique at Level 2 Podium, Etiqa Twins in Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur.

2) Timberland
Timberland is synonymous with rugged outdoor footwear, especially given its illustrious history of a 100-year long establishment since 1918 in the U.S. Some of their famous men’s collections include the signature Chukka Boots and 6-Inch Boots, which are both made from premium waterproof and seam-sealed leather for durability and weather-friendly against rain and other wet conditions. You can choose to shop online or visit one of their 11 outlets throughout Kuala Lumpur and Selangor such as Mid Valley Megamall, Pavilion KL and Sunway Pyramid.

3) ALDO
Aldo is a Canadian footwear brand that has been long established since 1972. After making its mark in Montreal back in the late ’80s, the brand has since expanded across different countries such as United States, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and of course, Malaysia. For men’s collection alone, you will find different varieties and styles with the likes of sneakers, slip-ons, dress shoes and even sandals. Aldo’s design is mostly practical, which gives an all-season feel minus the fancy aesthetics to make them versatile enough to pair with your favourite wardrobe.

After all, most of their shoes are trendy yet affordable enough. Bata also housed their own recognisable men’s in-house footwear brands including Power, North Star and Weinbrenner.

5) Tomaz Shoes
Tomaz has come a long way since its humble beginning as a tiny shoe kiosk back in 2009. But founder Thomas Teoh managed to work his way up and eventually expanded his business into franchise outlets spreading across Peninsular Malaysia. Unlike most luxury leather shoe stores in the market, Tomaz offers quality products at an affordable price. This is largely due to Tomaz’s smart business move of cutting out the middleman and eliminates high markups altogether. Here, you will find the likes of loafers, dress shoes and casual sneakers at an average price of RM200 below. You can check out the shoe collection on their website or click here to locate one of their outlets.

6) Clarks Shoes
Believe it or not, Clarks has been around for nearly 200 years when founders Cyrus and James Clark first made a then-groundbreaking slipper out of sheepskin off-cuts. Clarks is also no stranger to utilising different technologies in their crafts to make the best shoes possible. For instance, they use waterproof GORE-TEX® fabric membrane which helps to protect your feet against wet elements like rain and water splashes, as well as Ortholite® footbed for better cushioning and breathability. Check out their website or visit one of their local stores here.

8) Vans
Vans is synonymous with skate shoes. In fact, they are particularly popular during the height of 1990s skateboarding craze. Although the skateboarding culture is no longer as popular as it used to be today, Vans is now better known as a sneaker brand for those who want to rock a pair of retro-cool footwear. For instance, there’s the signature Old Skool which sports the now-recognisable white side stripe and low-top lace-up silhouette. Click here to locate one of their store outlets.
