Put Your Best Foot Forward: Wedding Shoes for Grooms & Suit-Wearers

Written By Sally Wood

💬 Why Shoes Matter for Grooms

Shoes are often overlooked, but they complete your whole look. A stylish pair can elevate your suit and even tell a little story about you.

🧦 Comfort Comes First

No one wants sore feet on their wedding day. Choose shoes that:

  • Fit well and are broken in

  • Have soft insoles (add your own if needed)

  • Give you confidence and ease of movement

👞 Shoe Styles by Wedding Vibe

  • Classic/Formal: Shiny black oxfords or derbies

  • Rustic/Casual: Tan or brown leather, brogues, or suede

  • Beach/Coastal: Loafers, boat shoes, or clean canvas sneakers

  • Fun + Fashion-Forward: Colour pops, printed shoes, or custom embroidery

🧦 Bonus: Sock Style!

This is your chance to show a little personality—fun socks can be a talking point (and make great photos).

🧠 Colour Matching 101:

  • Black suit? ➝ Black shoes

  • Navy suit? ➝ Tan or brown shoes

  • Grey suit? ➝ Oxblood, brown, or black

  • Light suits? ➝ Beige, sand, or white
