Anyone ever worn normal black shoes with a tux? I have my own tux that I'm wearing to a wedding in a couple months, but I don't own the shiny tux-specific shoes. I've rented a pair of the tux shoes before, and I just hate that patent leather look. I'm not sure if the incredibly expensive versions look better, but the standard versions look like nothing but shiny plastic.

I need a new pair of clean black shoes and was thinking of just purchasing a new pair to wear with the tux instead of renting the tux shoes. I also like the idea of having the flat finish instead of the bullshite shiny tux shoes.

Thoughts?

If you are in the wedding ask the bride what she wants you to wear. If you are just wearing the tux to the wedding wear whatever black shoes you want. They don't have to be shiny

I have to wear a tux once a year.. I refuse to wear the tux shoes. I've normally just worn a pair of good black dress shoes.. May try and get away with a black pair of chuck taylors this year..

Regular leather (i.e., non patent) is fine. Just make sure there is no brogueing. That's too casual.

Black converse goes best. You're welcome.

regular black dress shoes will look tacky with a tuxedo.

Kanye wore black suede lace up shoes with a tux...does that make it trashy?

A nice pair of polished cap toes from Cole Haan or Allen Edmonds will suffice. Make sure they are nicely polished though. I don't particularly care for the patent leather and wearing them is NOT a must with a tux.
