Dress Shoes For A Real Workday

A cap toe oxford is the most useful dress shoe we sell. It works with a navy suit and with dark denim if the leather is not too shiny.

Derbies are a touch easier if you have a higher instep, because the laces open wider. Monks are a good third pair once the first two feel familiar.

Ask for your usual sneaker size first. If you wear thick wool socks, go up a half size. The heel should hold you without a thumb of extra room behind it.

Cedar shoe trees are worth it. They keep the throat from collapsing and they pull a little moisture out overnight.
