Wedding and race day shoes

An event outfit deserves a shoe to match it. A graceful heel lengthens the leg under a midi or maxi and lifts the whole look. A comfortable block heel keeps you steady on garden lawns at a wedding or on the grass at race day. Choose a finish, from satin to a soft metallic, that complements your dress rather than competing with it. The right pair should let you enjoy the moment rather than counting down to taking them off, so comfort matters as much as how they look. Browse our wider heels edit for more options.

Pairing event shoes with your dress

Match the shoe to the formality of the occasion. An elegant heel suits a gala or evening event, while a refined block style works for a long lunch or a daytime celebration. Build the rest of the look from our occasion dresses and wedding guest styles, starting from the dress and working down. The right pair lets you stay on your feet and enjoy the day, which is exactly what occasion dressing should allow for.
