Barefoot Shoe Gifts for Dad
The easiest clue is what he already wears. Everyday errands, training, hiking and the office point to very different shoes, so start there before worrying about the brand.
If you don't know his current size, find that out before buying a surprise pair.
A few places to start - then compare the exact model and size.

What if I don't know his size?
Check the label in a pair he wears now or ask for a current measurement. If you cannot do that without ruining the surprise, see whether the brand offers a gift card.
How do I choose between casual and sporty options?
Look at where he spends most of his time. A shoe for everyday wear is usually a safer gift than a specialist running or trail model unless you know exactly what he wants.
