Matching shoes with a tuxedo is pretty basic. You really only need to decide on a particular design style of finish on the shoe. If you don't have a pair of nice dress shoes, you can rent them from the tuxedo rental store. Here are some way to match shoes with a tuxedo

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Tuxedo shoes

Step 1

Go with a traditional shoe. The traditional highly polished hard leather shoe with a curved toe is a classic look. This shoe matches any tuxedo style.
Step 2

Choose a pair of wing-tipped shoes. If don't want a plain traditional shoe but don't want a trendy shoe either, get wing tips. These shoes are also considered a classic men's shoe design and the detailing adds a little more interest to the shoe.
Step 3

Get a matte finished shoe. If you aren't a fan of the shiny, high gloss finish of traditional tuxedo shoes, get a pair with a dull or matte finish.
Step 4

Go trendy. When you don't like the traditional shoe design of the wing tip or plain tuxedo shoe, get shoes that are currently in style.
