Horrific. Look like police shoes and that pull tab is not required either. Leather - yes
proper - no -
Trickers do some nice plain Derbys. They used to do a kind of soft sole a bit like crepe but dark colour, a good alternative to leather without going to dainite. A very dark brown might be a more casual option that you can easily wear with jeans after the wedding. Only downside is they're expensive.
Red wings also did a postman model.

Any thoughts on these?

I need shoes for a wedding (my father's second, to be specific) and I'm not sure which way to go. I'm going for grey suit trousers (these or these probably) and a white shirt. The instruction was not to be too formal, so no jacket.
After seeing loads of black leather shoes I though them all to be a bit dull, so I was thinking about something with a more 'coarse' sole. But I'm unsure if this is over the top, but no clue what else to look for. Any suggestions? (The budget is not as tight as the linked shoes, they were just the first ones I ran into I sort of liked.)
