- Men's Shoes
Timeless men’s shoes suitable for every occasion. Shop our selection of smart shoes including Derbies and Oxford shoes.
What are the best types of men's shoes for formal occasions?
For formal events, Oxford shoes are the gold standard. Their sleek, closed-lacing design makes them the most traditional choice for suits, weddings and business wear. If you're looking for something slightly more versatile, Derby shoes offer a slightly more relaxed fit while still looking sharp.
What's the difference between Oxford shoes and Derby shoes?
The main difference lies in the lacing system. Oxford shoes have a closed-lace construction, giving them a cleaner, more formal appearance. Derby shoes feature an open-lace design, making them more comfortable and slightly more casual — ideal for both smart and smart-casual outfits.
How should men's shoes fit for all-day comfort?
A proper fit is essential when it comes to men’s shoes. Your shoes should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. Whether you're wearing Oxford shoes or Derby shoes, always try them on with the socks you plan to wear and consider insoles for added support.
