Wedding Shoes: What's Right?
The big day has arrived. Everything has to be perfect, and of course, the groom can't be an exception. You start looking through your closet. You have suit shoes , espadrilles , loafers ... But what do you wear with a morning coat?
The main thing is not to panic, because protocol is our friend in this situation, and it frees you from that indecision that could lead you to make a mistake that's considered rookie, or even worse, in bad taste.

If you're getting married in a morning coat: This is the most common option in Spain, and also the easiest. The only formally correct shoes to wear with a morning coat are black oxfords , preferably with a bit of shine, like our Doñana Antic Black Goodyear welted model , as they're considered the most formal shoes available, and therefore the only ones suitable for wearing with the trinity of evening suits: the morning coat, the tuxedo, and the tailcoat. Our Doñana Goodyear welted shoes are the favorite style of all grooms, as they are especially noted for their optimal quality and comfort, so you can look impeccable at the ceremony without fear of breaking the dance floor.

If you're getting married in a suit: Is a morning coat out of fashion for you? No problem, but it's still your wedding day, so your choice of footwear inevitably matters. You'll want something shiny, but not necessarily black. And laces can take a backseat if you're a fan of buckles. You can try burgundy colors, like our Madrid style , which has that touch of distinction you're looking for, while still remaining discreet and elegant. If burgundy isn't quite your style, chocolate brown is also particularly photogenic.

If you're getting married on the beach: You're looking for something alternative and authentic, the sea breeze flowing through your linen shirt. But the sunset in the landscape can't be the only memorable thing. What do you wear on your feet? I present the concept of an elegant espadrille with our Zarautz (insert product link – Zarautz Ante Humo) and Hondarribia (insert product link – Hondarribia Ante Marino) models , which will finish off your wedding look in a way that will leave no one indifferent. Espadrilles not your style? Try a low-top loafer like our highly sought-after Granada (insert product link – Granada Becerro Chufa) , which will give you that touch of elegance without sacrificing comfort and lightness.
And always remember the saying: When in doubt, go conservative. If you stick to the classics, you can't go wrong. This was a piece of advice from Diplomatic , our wedding gift.
