Mephisto Thomas casual trainers in camel for men

The Mephisto Thomas casual trainers in camel are the kind of pair you put on on Monday and keep reaching for all week: clean lines, an earthy shade that goes with almost anything and a pale sole that feels current without shouting about it.

The look

The upper has a soft, brushed finish in camel, with visible stitching tracing the toe and sides. At the heel there's a darker brown panel that adds contrast and gives the back of the shoe some structure. A few small touches finish it off: a metal Mephisto badge on the side and a tricolour tab on the tongue and heel.

The white sole has a rounded profile and a bit of height, giving the trainers a light, sporty feel.

Fit

They lace up through seven pairs of eyelets, so you can adjust them snugly over the instep whether your feet are narrow or a little wider. The collar is padded and the rounded toe leaves room for your toes.

How to wear them

Camel pairs easily: dark or light denim, chinos in navy, olive or stone, and shorts when the weather warms up. Add a linen shirt or a polo for the weekend, or an unstructured blazer for a relaxed office. They're a handy choice for strolling round Marbella or travelling, as they fit in with pretty much any plan.

Care

Use a soft brush suitable for suede or nubuck and spray with a protector before the first wear. If they get wet, let them dry naturally, away from radiators.
