Comfort & Function: What Makes Men’s Business Shoes Special?

Men’s dress shoes should not only look good, but above all be comfortable. Our men’s dress shoes are distinguished by high quality and an appealing design. This begins with the materials – genuine leather proves its worth day after day. The production of our men’s dress shoes takes place in Italy. In addition, men’s dress shoes by Werner Kern impress with an excellent fit. The manufacturing process is carefully thought through down to the smallest detail, and the additional components, such as the filling, also meet our high standards of quality.

How Do I Style Men’s Dress Shoes?

Men’s dress shoes can be styled more versatilely than you might think. The most important factor is that the chosen style matches the occasion and the outfit.

How Do I Style Men’s Dress Shoes for Everyday Wear?

Subtle styles such as a Derby in muted colors are ideal for everyday outfits. Brown and cognac-colored models in particular appear less formal and are much more suitable for daily wear. Paired with a color-coordinated polo shirt or knitted sweater, these men’s dress shoes create a relaxed look. In the colder seasons, lace-up boots can be perfectly combined with corduroy trousers, a knitted sweater, scarf, and beanie.

The Dress Code Is Business Casual: Which Shoes Should I Wear?

For an occasion with a business-casual dress code, you can’t go wrong with office shoes. If you prefer something a bit more fashionable, penny loafers or double monks are also a great choice. They pair perfectly with chinos, knitted blazers, shirts, and fine-knit sweaters. Ideal colors are dark blue and brown. Suede leather in particular contributes to a casual look.

Which Shoes Should I Wear with a Suit?

Black is a classic color that always looks good with a dark suit jacket and suit trousers. For a tuxedo, it is better to opt for patent leather shoes. If you prefer a classic style, we recommend black business shoes or leather lace-ups. We also offer shoes in black and other colors, including two-tone models made from high-quality nappa leather or calfskin. Lace-up shoes are just as much a part of our range as comfortable slip-ons. With men’s dress shoes by Werner Kern, you are also perfectly equipped for dancing. Many models found in the Men’s Dress Shoes category are suitable as dance shoes. If you prefer a sportier look, you can also wear sneakers—nowadays, this is no longer considered a style faux pas.

What Should I Look for When Buying Men’s Dress Shoes?

What does a special men’s dress shoe for a festive occasion look like? Fashionable attributes play only a minor role here, as exclusive dress shoes are classic and timeless. Our designers do follow trends, but we also know that good style is not a “fashion” question—it is based on the harmony between appearance, materials, and craftsmanship. In our blog, we explain in detail what men should look for when buying shoes.

Which Types of Leather Are Used for Men’s Dress Shoes?

Fine men’s dress shoes can be made from smooth leather, patent leather, suede, or box calf.

Fit: How Should Men’s Dress Shoes Fit?

Business shoes should fit snugly without causing pressure. Leather shoes often stretch slightly over time—especially fine nappa or suede leather. There should also be some freedom of movement in the toe area. With suitable filling made of cork or foam, walking feels like walking on clouds.

Which Shoe Color Is Appropriate for Which Occasion?

• Black is the classic color and is often chosen for formal occasions
• Dark brown is versatile and elegant
• Navy and shades of gray create a sportier look
• Cognac/light brown is particularly popular for business casual and light-colored suits
• Burgundy is an elegant alternative to brown

It is important that shoes are always color-coordinated with the belt and properly cared for even after a long night. You can learn the best way to do this in our blog post. You can also find suitable care brushes in our online shop and via this link.
