L'OFFICIEL's global men's shopping survey reveals that the guys are finally embracing the boxy shoe trend.

The results are in: square-toed shoes are here to stay. After gaining major popularity in the women&#39;s market over the past few seasons,&nbsp;L&rsquo;OFFICIEL&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/womens-shopping-trends-functional-handbags-fendi">global men&#39;s fall shopping survey</a> reveals&nbsp;that the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-outfits-celebrity-fashion-making-comeback">&lsquo;90s-inspired</a> look is also a hit with male consumers. During the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fall-2020-trends-fashion-week">Fall/Winter 2020</a> season, box-toed&nbsp;silhouettes were seen in&nbsp;everything from eye-catching chunky boots to strappy heeled sandals. While their&nbsp;popularity is undisputedly gender-inclusive, the data shows that certain parts of the world&nbsp;are more inclined toward&nbsp;particular square-toed styles. Parisian survey participants, for an example, were keen on a pair of monochrome boots from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/prada-spring-2020">Prada</a>, while men taking the survey from Italy&nbsp;consistently praised <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/donatella-versace-curvy-models-milan-fashion-precious-lee-jill-kortleve-naomi-campbell">Versace</a>&#39;s square-toed black boots.&nbsp;

Not only are shoppers enamored by the geometric shoe, but designers are increasingly&nbsp;incorporating&nbsp;them in their collections. During its Fall/Winter 2020 show, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/bottega-veneta-fall-2020-runway-show">Bottega Veneta</a> premiered sleek boots in black and white styles, while <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pierre-cardin-simon-porte-jacquemus-interview">Jacquemus</a> presented box-toe thigh grazers in both suede and patent leather.

However, designers&nbsp;have made it clear that square-toed styles are for more than just boxy boots. <a href="http://www.highsnobiety.com/p/balenciaga-tyrex-first-official-look/">Balenciaga&#39;s&nbsp;square-toed Tyrex sneaker</a>&nbsp;made headlines during the Spring/Summer 2020 season for its innovative shape, while Prada&#39;s Fall/Winter 2020 leather derby sneakers were an elevated version of the sporty chic style.

Not to be forgotten, square-toed loafers remain, as always, en vogue. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gigi-hadid-irina-shayk-burberry-fall-2019">Burberry</a>&#39;s timeless&nbsp;black oxfords (pictured above)&nbsp;to sleek slip-ons from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/ferragamo-spring-2020">Ferragamo</a>, boxy loafers are a safe, but fashion-forward option&nbsp;to add to&nbsp;your work (or working from home) attire. While&nbsp;L&rsquo;OFFICIEL&rsquo;s global survey can only shed light on the hottest trends of the moment, it seems that the box toe&nbsp;trend is here to stay.
