Shoes To Wear To A Beach Event, As Recommended By A Fine Pair of Shoes Director, Julian Nelson

Tricky business when it comes down to fitting your feet for the sand. Ultimately you need to be comfortable and find your footing without half the beach in your shoe. 

Let’s look at the best choice for men’s wedding shoes when it comes to beach weddings. Calling all grooms, brides and guests, here is our top shoe choices for a beach wedding.


Men’s Beach Wedding Shoes

For grooms and guests, you’ll want to choose something that matches the beach setting but still looks smart and appropriate for a wedding. 

Beach Loafers or Espadrilles:

Either option is a great choice as they strike a good balance between formality and beach-appropriate style. Material-wise, opt for leather over materials like suede as these will be waterproof and can be wiped clean of sand. Plus they’re easy to slip on and off should you need to de-sand. 

Boat / Deck Shoes:

Designed for marine environments, deck shoes offer good grip and comfort, but still look smart and would be perfect paired with a linen suit. We’ve many colours, leathers and styles to complement your wedding attire.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a little more support, the infamous desert shoe could also be a great choice thanks to its rubber sole.  Our range of Chukka boots includes many styles of desert shoes to choose from. 


Smart Men’s Wedding Shoes 

When you finally reach solid ground there’s always the option to change into a classic number for the evening. Whether that’s elegant Oxfords, sharp wholecut shoes or trainers perhaps, it’s your wedding.
