The formal shoe comes in many guises. From the traditional loafer to the Oxford shoe, the right smart footwear can help you navigate any formal occasion with ease. While it is essential to have multiple shoes for formal occasions, you also need to outfit your shoe collection with a shoe that can toe the line between smart and casual.
That is where the moc toe shoe comes in. This underrated streetwear staple comes in full leather and is defined by its distinctive serrated edges starting from the waxed laces dominating the shoe’s upper section. Where this shoe thrives is with the chunky rubber tread sole. This sole gives the shoe the ability to merge into a casual and formal look with ease.
How to style a moc toe shoe
Black moc toe shoes are the most reliable colour to choose. Style with cropped tailored trousers in a matching or contrast colour to the shoes.

Alternatively, you can pair the moc-toe shoe with your favourite pair of denim. Style with an overshirt for a utility inspired casual weekend look.
