Grooms are sometimes so focused on choosing the perfect suit for the big day, they can forget to put the same thought into their shoes. The right footwear can complement the entire wedding day look and turn a good getup into a great one! To ensure your man puts his best foot forward, we’ve created a Rocky Mountain Bride-approved list of the 15 most stylish shoe options for every type of groom, because even he wants to walk down the aisle in style.
Meet the Beck in Burnt Honey. If your groom is after a shoe that is formal enough for the ceremony yet functional for his wardrobe post-wedding, this full brogue wingtip from Taft is the one for him. Dressed up or dressed down this shoe is an everyday staple that will set him apart from the rest. The striking burnished honey leather lends men’s classic dress shoe a bold new lease on life. The sole is stacked leather with a rubber insert to provide grip, durability, and longevity for a long night of dancing.
Elevate your man’s tailored wedding wardrobe with a pair of timeless Cole Haan wingtip classics. This dress shoe unites traditional craft with modern engineering, uniting lightweight and cushioned energy foam, and full motion flexibility and comfort. Perfect for the special occasion!
Defined by the double broad strap that closes across the instep and fastens using a saddle buckle on the outside, the Burton double monk is an elegant shoe for the formal-looking groom. In recent years, double monk straps have become quite popular and we don’t anticipate them going away anytime soon.
You can’t go wrong with the classic patent leather lace-up shoe. Christian Louboutin’s Corteo Oxfords are crafted in Italy from a single piece of patent leather sewn on the back counter, a detail that truly speaks of the brand’s shoemaking expertise. The high-shine surface is timeless enough for a black-tie wedding while the shoe profile remains masculine enough for him.
Easy to slip-in-and-out-of, The Bernard dress shoe by Calvin Klein is a modern formal wear classic. It features a smooth patent-finish upper, a grosgrain ribbon detail across the tongue, and a cushioned insole.
The link bit loafer is without a doubt for the sophisticated groom. Make sure his dress pants are slim cut and the hem is about 5cm above the shoe exposing just a hint of his ankle. And of course, no socks please.
Let your fiancé stand out in style with fine metallic studded loafers. Kurt Geiger London knows how to create statement footwear for men with dashing designs. This studded rendition of the Palermo loafers are every bit as classic, just with a little added rock ‘n’ roll flair.
The velvet slipper is the new leather loafer for groom attire and classic doesn’t even begin to cover this look. Handmade in Italy this luxurious black velvet slipper with the heritage Del Toro red stripe on the back is the perfect complement to a tuxedo.
A work of art he can wear! It’s no wonder that Taft’s collection of shoes is a fan favorite, we are head over heels for the trendy style and choice of colors and aesthetic patterns that are available. The Russell Loafer in Eden is sharp and trendsetting, for the groom wanting to show off his sense of style.
Does your fiancé have a vision of wearing Converse down the aisle? Lucky for him, these dapper leather sneakers pair nicely with a black or white tuxedo and bowtie. Plus, the Jack Purcell shoe features an added layer of cushioning and support, so his feet will thank him later.
What can we say? White sneakers will take your husband-to-be from the aisle to the afterparty in comfort and style. A classic pair of slip-on Vans are perfect for a summer or destination wedding.
Does your beau want to sharpen up his casual wedding attire? Look no further than the iconic British Chelsea Boot. No laces, no broguing, no detailed stitching, just a clean and simple look that can be dressed up or dressed down.
From tan to chocolate and navy, bucks, made from rich nubuck leather are a smart choice for the fall and winter wedding season. This understated and stylish addition to his look feature tonal laces and binding, white welt stitching, lined with imported natural leather.
The Wyatt is a handmade, top-quality cowboy boot crafted from luxurious full-quill ostrich leather featuring a calfskin shaft and leather sole and heel. These boots are comfortable, flexible and remind us of the authentic-looking western boot.
A western boot is a tried-and-true classic when it comes to rustic ranch weddings. I mean, this is the Rocky Mountains after all. Rest assured, when you look back at your wedding photos 50 years from now, these two-toned brown boots will still be in style.
