If you're not gonna get that much use out of them I'd check the proper but sensible brands first. Loake's, Sanders, Grenson, etc. With these you should be able to get something decent without spending a fortune.
If you want to take it up price wise there's heaps of options. Church's, Tricker's, Allen Edmonds, Crockett & Jones, John Lobb, etc etc
Even better for value is second hand or visiting the factory shops. I've picked up quite a few pairs of great shoes for not much on ebay, but it takes a bit of time and know-how

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend good stores in London to try a variety of formal shoes?
For context, I'm pretty ignorant in the formal dressing world but I'm looking for a pair of shoes for my wedding. It's not going to be super formal without being completely casual. Think sport jacket, no tie, but probably not going to get away with sneakers. I was thinking something along the line of "formal shoes" with no show socks for a more casual twist for example.
My problems is I don't really know where to look as I've not worn formal shoes all that much so I need a physical shop to see a variety of options.
Budget wise, it looks like it can be pretty crazy and even though I value good craftsman ship, I don't think I'm going to wear formal shoes all that much in the future so if we can stay reasonable that's better.
Thanks,
