Have you purchased or hired your suit, chosen your shirt, tie and accessories just the shoes to go. You may decide to hire which is fine but some do not like to wear dress shoes that have been worn several times previously and therefore choose to buy their own pair of dress shoes instead.
You’ve already made the right decision in choosing your suit prior to your footwear, other things to consider when buying your dress shoes as follows:
1. Ideally if the budget allows, dress shoes should be made of leather, this allows the feet to breathe.
2. The shoes should be very comfortable as you will be wearing them for a long time. Nearly all leather dress shoes will inevitably be a little uncomfortable on first wearing, therefore it is advisable to wear them for a few days prior to your big day to wear them in.
3. The design of the dress shoes shouldn’t be too intricate with too much going on. For example a pair of brogue shoes can have too much detailing and can draw one’s eye away from your suit as opposed to what it should be doing which is complementing it. Some detailing is fine, in fact it is important but do not go over the top.
4. Regarding the detailing - the eSHOEMAKER’s shoes are designed by the ex-creative director from Oliver Sweeney and have been specifically designed as mens wedding shoes. The Kensington and Mayfair Brogues each have an elegant stitch/embroidered stitch the colour of which can be chosen by the customer - it is worth considering the colour of your tie/pocket hankie etc in order to colour match.
5. If you intend on getting a decent pair of leather dress shoes then this is likely to be relatively costly and therefore it might be worth considering a pair of dress shoes that can be worn again and again after the wedding thereby giving you good value for money.
