We understand that finding the perfect shoe can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to dress shoes. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you find the perfect pair for any occasion.
Dress shoes are a staple in any wardrobe, whether you’re dressing up for a wedding or simply want to elevate your everyday style. With so many styles and materials to choose from, it can be overwhelming to navigate the options. But fear not, we’re here to help.
First, let’s discuss the different types of dress shoes. There are four main categories: oxfords, derbies, loafers, and monk straps. Each has its own unique style and level of formality.
Oxfords are the most formal of the bunch, characterized by their closed lacing system and sleek design. They are a popular choice for black-tie events and business meetings.
Derbies, on the other hand, have an open lacing system and a slightly more relaxed look. They are a versatile option that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Loafers are a slip-on style, making them a convenient option for those who want to quickly elevate their outfit. They come in a variety of materials and styles, from suede to leather and everything in between.
Monk straps are a stylish and unique option, featuring a buckle closure instead of traditional laces. They come in both single and double strap options, and can add a touch of personality to any outfit.
Once you’ve decided on the style of dress shoe that best fits your needs, it’s important to consider the material. Leather is the most common choice, but there are many variations to choose from, including patent leather, suede, and exotic skins like alligator or ostrich.
When selecting a dress shoe, it’s also important to pay attention to the details. From the stitching to the hardware, every aspect of a dress shoe can impact its overall appearance and durability. That’s why we take great care in selecting the highest quality materials and crafting each shoe with precision and care.
In addition to dress shoes, we also offer a variety of apparel and accessories to complete your look. From belts to wallets and everything in between, we’ve got you covered.
At Johnston & Murphy, we believe that every detail matters. That’s why we’ve been a trusted name in footwear and fashion for over 160 years. Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of dress shoes or simply want to elevate your everyday style, we’ve got you covered. Thank you for choosing Johnston & Murphy.
