Top 10 Men’s Footwear Brands in 2025

For men’s footwear in 2025, comfort, versatility, and durable design emerged as the clear winners, both in consumer preference and in sales revenue. According to Particl data from January 1 to October 29, Dearfoams established itself as the dominant force in the market, thanks largely to the remarkable performance of comfort-first slip-ons like the Knox Collapsible Heel Slip-On Sneaker.

Dearfoams’ blockbuster lead, with U.S. e-commerce sales revenue of over $199 million, marks a clear shift in men’s preferences toward everyday, easy-wear footwear. This dominant performance is joined by strong showings from Ariat International, which ranks second and excels with work and western boots, and adidas, which continues to build momentum with athletic and streetwise sneaker lines.

The broader men’s footwear landscape mirrors key trends seen among women: nearly half of men’s segment demand is now tied to athletic and casual hybrid footwear—styles that blend everyday appeal with performance. Brands like adidas, Teva, and Skechers are thriving as athleisure and comfort reshape the market. Meanwhile, brands addressing specialized needs—whether through orthotic comfort, as with OrthoFeet, or rugged, versatile build, as with Blundstone and Cat Footwear—are gaining loyal followings through targeted design.​

Industry analysts note that the men’s market, while competitive, increasingly rewards brands that deliver on functional attributes, ergonomic design, and contemporary lifestyle fit. This growth in comfort and performance segments underscores an ongoing shift: men are favoring shoes that provide value through year-round wear, longevity, and flexibility, as well as innovation with advanced materials and everyday wellness benefits. As these leaders set the pace, the U.S. men’s footwear market remains primed for further transformation through consumer-centric innovation and a relentless focus on quality and lasting comfort.
