Dress Shoes: FAQs

What are the most formal men’s shoes?

A plain black oxford in polished calf, then a black whole cut. Brogueing and suede make a shoe less formal.

Which dress shoes go with a navy suit?

Black oxfords for the evening, dark brown and burgundy oxfords, derbies and monk straps for the day.

What is a patina finish?

Colour brushed into the leather by hand in layers, so the shade deepens toward the toe and heel and no two pairs match exactly.

How long do Goodyear welted shoes last?

With shoe trees and resoling, a Goodyear welted pair can last for many years.
