Start by thinking about the formality of the occasion, and then consider the time of day, location and activities planned for the event. Lighter, more flexible styles are perfect for all day affairs that transition into dancing through the night, while more traditional oxford shoes are an excellent fit for sophisticated sit-down dinners. Whether you’re the groom, one of the groomsmen or a guest, get ready to lock down your look with the best men’s wedding shoes.
The Black-tie Event
The most formal occasions call for a classic black dress shoe like our Carlyle oxford in patent leather. Both the color and material compliment every type of formalwear, while the sleek shape of a traditional oxford elegantly embodies all the sophistication of a dressed-up evening. Combining high-gloss polish with the ultra-clean lines of our 108 footwear last, these are the best wedding shoes for grooms that are going to be wearing a tuxedo.

THE SEMI-FORMAL OCCASION
When the invitation calls for “cocktail attire,” you need to be RSVPing in your favorite suit and our hybrid dress sneaker. Reimagined this season in lustrous patent leather, it updates the streamlined elegance of our iconic Park Avenue oxford with responsive, rubber cup soles. Perfect for situations with ambiguous dress codes, these are the kicks you should be wearing any time you want to look sharp without sacrificing comfort.

If you’re saying, “I do,” this season, our Chapman combat boots represent the ultimate marriage of refined materials and rugged functionality. Best-quality, waterproof leather uppers give them an elevated look to match your tux, while high-traction lug soles and a weatherproof construction ensure they’ll be keeping your feet dry long after your vows.

Get Creative on Your Big Day
There’s no better way to walk down the aisle than in a pair of shoes made just for you. With our customization program you can pick your uppers, select your soles and create a one-of-a-kind version of some of our most iconic styles like the Park Avenue and Strandmok oxford.
The Outdoor Celebration
You found the ideal natural setting and planned the ultimate locally sourced menu, now you just need the perfect groom wedding shoes. The perforations on leather shoes—known as broguing—were originally designed to drain moisture while working in damp conditions in the Irish countryside. Today that intricate detailing gives styles like our Stand oxford just the right amount of rugged charm.

ALL TYPES OF OCCASIONS
Still not sure which style is right for you? Instead of overthinking it, opt for a modern essential that works for every type of celebration. The Siena oxford is handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin with a low-profile design and lightweight construction that embody the effortless style of classic Italian shoemaking. Like most of our footwear it’s also recraftable so you can count on wearing it long after tying the knot.
