Unlike us ladies, boys don’t have the dilemma of what style of heel is going to see them through the day and night time celebrations – for them it’s flats all the way (lucky sods) with a quick wear in the day or two before to make sure the heel isn’t hacked off them as they make their way up to the top of the altar. But the decision isn’t always as easy as you might imagine – for some it’s a case of grab for the first part of black lace-ups they clap eyes on, for others it can be an overwhelming pursuit that is met with dread. Shoe designers have upped their game in the style stakes, making it even harder with ample choice for the boys when it comes to teaming shoes with their tux or suit. From different styles (moccasins, loafers, brogues, lace-ups…) to finishes and colour (you can get shoes in a serious array of colours – red, greys, you name it), it might not be as easy as you think when it comes to picking that shoe. So to save you some browsing time, we’ve rounded up a variety of styles, finishes and colours for our discerning gents on the hunt for some wedding shoes…
