Clogs, boots or sneakers: the shoes that look like him
The Birkenstock Boston clog, made of suede leather on a cork sole, is worn like a slipper at home and with socks in the city; its sole shapes to the foot over the weeks. For the man who walks in all weather, the Blundstone Classic Chelsea boots, heirs of a brand founded in 1870 in Hobart, Tasmania, slip on easily thanks to their elastic sides. For sneakers, the Asics GEL-NYC combines the design of 2000s running shoes with an urban silhouette, while the Nike Air Monarch, very cushioned, provides appreciated walking comfort. The Crocs Classic clog, lightweight and washable, is perfect for the garden or the beach.

Back pack, cap or beret: accessories without size worries
Accessories almost completely avoid the size question and are useful every day. The Eastpak Padded Pak'r backpack, with padded back and straps, is the brand's classic style, while the Day Pak'r adds a laptop compartment. Eastpak, born in Boston in 1952 making bags for the US military, guarantees its bags for thirty years. The fitted cap New Era in the colours of the New York Yankees is based on the model worn on the field by professional baseball players since 1954; it is chosen according to the exact head size without adjustment. The Kangol beret in seamless wool adds a more classic touch to winter outfits.

The urban cyclist will appreciate the rear light Giro Roc Loc, which clips onto the back of the helmet, at the eye level of drivers. For the motorbiker, the Quad Lock case transforms the smartphone into a navigation device fixed to the handlebars, and a spare cartridge Helite allows for self-resetting of an airbag vest after activation.

Frequently asked questions
What gift for a fifty-year-old man?
A quality piece that lasts: leather Blundstone boots, a Birkenstock clog for home, or a sturdy back pack for travel. Start from his habits, city, nature or sport, rather than his age.
How to care for Blundstone boots?
Brush after each muddy outing, then use a nourishing cream or wax a few times a year, applied to clean, dry leather. Let them dry away from a radiator to avoid cracking the leather.
How to choose the size of a fitted cap?
Measure the head circumference above the ears, where the cap rests, then refer to the manufacturer's size chart. It should fit without squeezing the forehead; if between sizes, choose the larger one.
Can Birkenstock clogs be worn year-round?
Yes, with thick socks in winter and bare feet as soon as the nice weather arrives. The lined lamb fur version is suitable for cool homes, while the classic suede leather version is good for outings in the city during mid-season.
What gift for a man who rides a motorbike?
An accessory that makes the road easier: a case and mount for a smartphone, an intercom for chatting with the passenger, or a spare cartridge for his airbag vest. For a helmet or gloves, the exact size is essential.
