Cole Haan
Cole Haan is one of the OG shoemakers that design dress shoes with comfort at the top of mind. No wonder its tuxedo shoes both look and feel amazing, thanks to a mostly leather construction (including footbed) that hugs your feet just right, so you can stand and in these all night long.
Florsheim
A classic patent oxford is always a sure bet for tuxedo shoes with enduring style. Florsheim has been in the business of making stylish-yet-comfortable footwear since 1892, so you know your money is going towards a high-quality purchase.
Calvin Klein
High-quality leather can make formal shoes extra expensive, but these faux patent leather stunners from Calvin Klein have the same stylish appeal for a price that won’t break the bank. Plus, the grosgrain-detail is a nice touch.
