I don't really have a preference for footwear on guys, though I blanketly HATE all chunky gym shoes.
Large footwear of any kind is usually obscene, unless they're for practical purposes (e.g. hiking). I'm a footwear minimalist, and walking around in rubberized snowshoes simply isn't necessary.
*Edit: This does not include flashy leather "rock" footwear, like zippered or clasped boots. Those are entirely acceptable on the right person, and even highly encouraged.
