Shoes for offbeat grooms, groomsmen, bridesboys, and lovers of fancy men’s footwear

Comments on Shoes for offbeat grooms, groomsmen, bridesboys, and lovers of fancy men’s footwear

1. Oooh, I spy some gothy boots! I think he’s just going to wear his dr. martens though, otherwise I’d have to investigate these shoes further!

2. I love it! Men’s footwear is so often overlooked.

   Just want to add… don’t write off Cole Haan! Despite their rep for stodgy work shoes, someone seems to have been busy in the design studio.

   If you like the idea of a bright sole but don’t have the bank for Jil Sander when it’s not on sale: http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-air-harrison-eva-oxford-navy-nubuck-black

   Casual wingtips with contrasting laces for a pop of dapper color (and they’re on sale): http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-air-colton-casual-wing-tip-navy-textured

   Saddle shoes. There’s a pink, a purple, and a plaid (along with more neutral choices): http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-air-colton-saddle-ashley-blue-nubuck-navy-croc-print

   There were some fly boots, a black shoe with bright pink laces and pink detailing in the sole (oh what the hell, here’s a link: http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-harrison-ultimate-wing-oxford-charcoal-grain), and I noticed a monk’s strap wingtip in the mix, too… 🙂

   • My husband wore Cole Haan saddle shoes at our wedding! His were grey with blue. He got way more compliments on his shoes than on mine!

     • Ooh, were they like these? http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cole-haan-air-colton-saddle-shoe/3340403

       • Close…these are it! http://www.lyst.com/shoes/cole-haan-charcoal-greynavy-croc-air-colton-saddle-oxford/

         pretty damn snazzy.

   • Thanks for the Cole Haan recommendation! My Fiancé now has purple shoes he loves! Made my day. I agree they must have a new designer. (and some friends are buying the plaid ones too!)

3. I’m wearing big black 10 eyelet docs or a pair of black oxfords, either way, they’ll be shoes I’ll use regularly once I’m allowed to get them scuffed.

4. No shoe listing is complete without New Rock!! They don’t only do boots – they have some smashing creepers and loafers as well: http://www.newrockstore.com/zona1/catalog/default.php?cPath=3&osCsid=8bjk2svoiltjua684a2fib9gi3
   Yeah, they’re definitely expensive but Spanish leather is amazing and will last a long time!

5. I just tried on the amazing white and blue Fluevogs this weekend! They’re even more amazing in person and so comfortable. My sister bought them in orange 🙂

6. Can you repost the link for the checkerboard creepers? I love them, but when I clicked on the pic the page could not be found 🙁

   • It appears they’ve sold out. They’re Costume National’s Checkerboard Oxford Creeper, and I’m not seeing them online anywhere. Sorry about that!

     • Guess I will be quicker on the draw next time! Thanks for the info, though!

7. YUM

   Has there been a tomboy/butch women’s footwear post on here? I’m a woman who prefers more masculine footwear (so not just flat shoes) but my feet are too small for me to wear men’s shoes. I need unfeminine shoes in women’s sizes!

   • I’d LOVE to do a post like that, but it’s not a style I know much about. I’m ALWAYS open to doing a curated guestpost full of awesome shoes! Get in touch if you want to know more!

   • Do it! 🙂 http://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/pwp.jsp?l=shop,pwp,c-100/f-10001+70016+4294966454+50146/t-WOMEN'S|OXFORDS

8. Check out Stacey Adams for really cool shoes as well. I use them all the time for Historical shows and they look and feel FANTASTIC!

9. The first pair… is SO perfect for my guy. Our colors and everything. They are expensive… I’ll have to think about it… but they are really cool.

   • I want them in Girls. 🙁

10. These are so lovely, I love the black & green ones… but for $435, not happening!
