Wing-tip shoes: What is your opinion on them?

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by Pension_Admin, May 22, 2011.

  1. I recently found this great looking pair of wing-tip shoes. I am very tempted to get them. I think it should go well with a pair of dress pants during workdays or a pair of jeans during casual Friday, but I am just wondering if it is appropriate for a job interview.

    From doing research on the internet, I have been getting mixed results:

    "Wingtip dress shoes add a level of elegance to a suit"
    -http://www.ehow.com/how_7549421_dress-sales-job.html

    "Wing-tip shoes are allowed but not encouraged"
    -http://www.dba-oracle.com/dress_code.htm

    "Wingtips tend not to be very formal, so you don’t want to wear them with a tuxedo or anything overly dressy."

    Your opinion is appreciation.

  3. I wear these with jeans or dress. I have no fashion sense though but they feel good on your feet and you can walk miles in these.

    Classic style, fine with a suit. No problem wearing to an interview either.
     
  5. I always appreciate a pair of Clarks. They are comfortable shoes that are great for the weekend.

    However, I like shoes with slimmer toes, which give it a more trendy look.

    Nice with a suit. Too formal with jeans IMO.
