Lace Up Shoes for Men

Laces get dismissed as old-fashioned sometimes, but they do something a slip-on can't. They let you adjust the fit around your actual foot shape instead of hoping a fixed shape happens to match yours. That's the whole reason lace up shoes have stuck around as the backbone of formal footwear long after slip-ons became an option.

What's Actually in This Collection

This range leans heavily into oxford and wingtip lacing styles, with a few boot options mixed in for anyone who wants that same formal lacing carried up past the ankle. Patent leather cap toes sit at one end for black-tie or strict formal wear. Wingtip brogues with that pointed toe detailing sit in the middle, dressy but with enough character to wear outside a boardroom. Spectator styles, mixing two leather tones, bring a bit more personality without dropping the formal shape underneath.

A Few Worth Looking At Closely

The Wingtip Lace Up Boots in Tan bring full brogue detailing into a boot silhouette, useful if you want formal lacing with more coverage than a low shoe gives you. For a bolder statement, the Men's Blue Leather Wingtip Oxford Dress Boots pair that same wingtip detailing with a blue leather that stands out against the usual black and brown options. If you want something closer to a wardrobe staple, the Handmade Men's Grey Patina Leather Formal Oxford Shoes offer a color that sits between black and brown, genuinely useful for pairing with a wider range of suits. And for the simplest, most versatile option in the range, the Classic Captoe Oxford in Black covers the one shoe most men actually need in a formal wardrobe before anything else.

Fit Matters More With Lace Ups Than People Expect

The adjustability laces give you only helps if the base shape of the shoe already fits your foot. A narrow last on a wide foot will still pinch no matter how loose you leave the laces. Checking the size guide before ordering, rather than relying on your usual size across brands, saves the back and forth of a return later.

Buying With Confidence

Every pair ships worldwide with free delivery and a 30-day return and exchange window, so getting the fit wrong isn't the end of the process.
