You could say that.

there's not many men that could get away with that Dom, but in your line of work, maybe!!

I also got some blue suede tassel loafers this Summer!

Have you met him?

I have, and let me tell you those shoes were made for him.

we've only spoken on the phone but yes I can imagine

Well this is him:


In person he is quite aristocratic. Smoking jacket, those slippers and a greyhound at his feet.

Where's that cringe thread when you need it.

[Blown2CV]

i think they're great!

I was born in Plumstead, London SE18. I can assure you that nobody from Plumstead has ever been aristocratic. Purple slippers or not...

Respect Dom,limited edition velvet slippers.

Starting a new job in a few weeks and dress code is more towards smart than the casual of my current place.

Brown one's are Clarks Penton Limit that have had a few wears now and the Blue one's I picked up today, Barker Grant

Hey guys. Sounds like a few of you know a thing or two about shoes. I'm getting married at the end of this month and have bought a dark blue suit, which will be teamed with a red tie. I need some shoes now but don't really know what to get, except to say I think I want to go brown (tan or darker for instance) and they can't be to pointy or have to much of a heel cos I got big feet and am tall.

Budget...under £200. Any suggestions would be great.

Prepare for a big debate on colour choice.

Brown can work with a Navy suit. Don't go for a pale tan though. As a rule, the shoes shouldn't be much more pale than the trousers. (Tan shoes go with very pale chinos)

Good:


Bad:


If yu want brown, I would go for an oxford cap like the Herring Knightsbridge, just oover budget at £210

[BUG4LIFE]

Good advice thank you. I was thinking tan might be a tad bright.

[craigjm]

if its a dark blue suit a cordovan shoe would work too and choose a decent red tie and it would carry the colour through

I keep looking at those blue ones, wondering if I can get away with them. I have a pair in Cedar Calf and they have been, from day one, the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought.

Naturally Barkers don't use that last for any other styles...

Mine came with another set of darker navy laces, that might tone them down a bit and the leather looks darker in natural daylight.

[LordGrover]

I wear these with a blue suit: click and they work very well.

They look simple, under-stated and smart.

The trainer boys will find their heads exploding when they click on that link.

This looks like the right place to get some shoe advice!

I'm after a smart casual shoe or boot. I quite like shoes with broguing and a thin soul and light construction.

My feet are a size 13 (can fit in 12.5 depending on the fit), so I tend to have very limited choice in shops and the ones that fit can either look like boats or weigh a tonne, hence the thin soul and light construction requirement and the preference for some detail on the shoe to camouflage the size.

A shoe or boot that laces up quite tight is important too. I made the mistake of buying some desert boots recently and they just flop around on my feet. Manufacturers seem to assume that anyone with size 13 feet has fat feet.

I'm quite open on colour. I try to stay away from black as it hides the detail of the shoe and reminds me of school shoes.

EDIT: Budget is quite open. £100~ would be what I would expect to pay for shoes but I would pay more for quality.
