Del Toro's country flag shoes are a stylish way to show off support for your country as you cheer them on during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Del Toro has designs that pay tribute to countries like Italy, France, Japan and of course, the host country for this year's games, Brazil.

The Alto Chukka Sneakers feature white laces and leather-lined soles, with the flag detailing presented on the sides of the sneakers. Although most people are likely to wear something that celebrates their country around a big event or holiday, these sneakers are fine for daily wear, provided you've got a lot of pride for your country. The pair of men's sneakers for the USA would be particularly perfect for kicking around in on Independence Day.
