The "Traditions of Men" refers to the pharisaic and sadusaic interpretations of scripture that focus solely on the letter and not the whole spirit of the Law, basically all forms of Judaizing heresy are what Christ was talking about. Its how we have jews thinking they are fulfilling the law by autistically wearing phylacteries on their foreheads and right hands, when the passage they are trying to emulate meant to meditate on the Law at all times ("they shall be and shall move between thy eyes") and to put it into practice ("thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand"). It also refers to traditions created by introducers of Novelty like Muhammad and Martin Luther, who twisted scripture to justify their own heretical practices. What that passage wasn't referring to was Holy Tradition, which is divinely inspired and therefore Tradition handed down from God. One of the reasons that Christ came was to restore the Holy Traditions the Pharisees had usurped with their Novelties.
