All shoes matched to your suit and occasion at no extra charge. We advise on colour — black or tan — depending on the suit.
Make your shoes last a decade.
Full-grain leather improves with age when looked after correctly. Here is what we tell every customer before they leave.
Black or tan? Here is the answer.
Black shoes with a black, charcoal or navy suit. Tan or brown with a tan, olive, light grey or ivory suit. When in doubt, black is always correct for formal occasions. Tan is more contemporary and works well at smart-dress weddings.
Ask us on WhatsAppFrequently asked questions about dress shoes
Should I wear black or tan shoes with my suit?
Black shoes are always correct for formal occasions. Navy, charcoal, black and tuxedo suits all pair with black. Tan or brown shoes work with lighter suits: ivory, light grey, sand, olive and safari suits look more contemporary and warm with tan leather. When in doubt for a formal occasion, choose black. For weddings where the dress code is smart rather than black tie, tan is a strong and increasingly popular choice in Pretoria.
What type of dress shoe is most versatile?
The cap-toe oxford is the single most versatile dress shoe a man can own. It works for every occasion from a corporate meeting to a black-tie function. It is the shoe we recommend first for any man who owns one suit and needs one pair of shoes. If you already have a cap-toe oxford, a brogue or derby is a strong second shoe for variety.
Do you stock dress shoes in larger sizes?
Our dress shoe range covers standard retail sizes. Come in or WhatsApp us with your size before visiting and we will confirm what is in stock. If you have specific width or fitting requirements, let us know in advance so we can advise before you make the trip.
