Wedding shoes are more than just a practical choice. They say something about your style and how you feel on this special day:
- The classic option remains the smart shoe of smooth leather: timeless, elegant and suitable for virtually any wedding suit.
- For a formal wedding or an evening party with a black tie dress code, patent leather shoes are the perfect choice. They have a subtle shine and go excellently with a tuxedo or dark suit.
- Do you have an outdoor wedding or a more casual setting? Then you can also choose suede or a supple leather shoe in a light tone. These materials breathe better and give your outfit a relaxed, modern appearance.
Ideally, you match the colour of your shoes to your suit. Dark blue combines well with cognac or brown, while a grey suit looks great with black or dark blue shoes. With a light suit in beige or sand, a warm brown tone works better again.
Patent leather or polished leather looks luxurious and formal. Suede, on the other hand, feels softer and gives your outfit a subtle nonchalance. Whatever you choose: make sure the shoes stay in top condition. With the right products from our range for shoe care, they stay like new even after the wedding day.
A wedding often lasts the whole day: from the ceremony to the dinner and the dance floor. Comfort is therefore at least as important as style. Wear your shoes indoors a few times beforehand to make them supple. Also invest in good men's socks of breathable cotton or bamboo; that prevents pressure points and keeps your feet fresh.

What colour shoes do you wear with a blue wedding suit?
Brown or cognac-coloured shoes provide a warm contrast with a blue suit. For a more formal appearance, you can choose black shoes with a subtle shine.
Are you allowed to wear casual shoes to a wedding?
You can, especially at an outdoor wedding or a summery setting. In that case, choose suede loafers or smart leather shoes without shine. Avoid sneakers or coarse models.
Can you wear sneakers to a wedding?
Only if the dress code allows it, for example at an informal or summer wedding. In that case, choose minimalist leather sneakers in a neutral colour and make sure they are properly clean.
