A guy thing

Most men don't claim to love their shoes as much as women do, but Paraboot's stylish designs could have many reassessing that opinion. The French brand boasts a huge fan base overseas, including actor George Clooney and designer Philippe Starck. The brand has been providing discerning males with handmade shoes since 1919 and is known for its fine leather and classic designs. For spring/summer, men can choose from the official or casual lines ($2,395 to $4,295).

Expect brown shades ranging from tan to chocolate. Available at The Swank, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2845 4961.
