For context, I'm pretty ignorant in the formal dressing world but I'm looking for a pair of shoes for my wedding.
Whatever you buy, get them ahead of time and wear them for a bit to accustom the shoes to your feet (and your feet to the shoes). Having to wear painful shoes will ruin your day!
Very good advice.
Just sitting around wearing new shoes will help break them in.
And get your trousers hemmed!!!
No. 1&2 groom faux pas - brand new shoes, trousers too long.
Even though it’s casual you want to look smashing, am I right?
