Etiquette regarding leather shoe laces for ceremonial occasions and business occasions

Lace-up shoes are the etiquette at weddings

When attending a wedding, it is customary to wear a formal suit, so it is also customary to wear formal leather shoes.

When it comes to formal leather shoes,

• Lace-up shoes such as inner blade straight tip and whole cut
• Items without decorations such as perforations
• color is black
• Smooth leather material

Anything that meets the above conditions would be good.

Conversely, leather shoes that can be a violation of manners,

• loafers and boots
• a lot of decoration
• suede, exotic leather

Anything above should be avoided.

Lace-up shoes are manners at funerals

Mourning clothes are the etiquette for funerals, so it is etiquette to wear leather shoes that meet the following conditions, just like weddings.

• Lace-up shoes such as inner blade straight tip and whole cut
• Items without decorations such as perforations
• color is black
• Smooth leather material

For business, lace-up shoes are better for suits

In a business setting, the etiquette of attire depends on the occasion and the person you are with, so it is difficult to express in a few words what the etiquette of leather shoes is, but lace-up shoes are better when wearing a suit.

The suit here is

• be the right size
• The fabric and pattern must be suitable for formal occasions.
• Top and bottom must be the same fabric
• to wear a shirt and tie

It is expressed as a "suit" after satisfying these requirements.

In other words, lace-up shoes are best for a tight suit style.

However, I don't think it's necessary to stick to formal formalities such as inner feather straight tips or whole cuts like weddings and funerals, so you can wear brown shoes or shoes with many decorations depending on the place and the person you are with.

Loafers are fine as long as it's not a suit but a jacket style, and sneakers are also allowed.

You have a wide range of options when you bundle it with business, but let's choose shoes with consideration for the other party.

Even if lace-up shoes are bad manners, elastic shoes are OK.

Formal occasions such as weddings and funerals, where formal leather shoes are good manners, but for those who find it difficult to bend over when taking off their shoes, we recommend elastic shoes.

Elastic shoes are shoes that have rubber on the opening.

They are not lace-up shoes, but they have a formal design, so you can substitute inner feather straight tips or whole cuts.

Etiquette regarding leather shoe laces when taking off shoes

Untie the laces of your leather shoes, take them off, and tie them after wearing them.

When taking off your shoes outside your home, such as at a friend's house, an inn, or a restaurant, it is customary to "untie the laces and take them off" and "tighten the laces after putting them on."

If you can put on and take off leather shoes without untying the laces,

• shoes too big
• not worn with laces

Therefore, it seems that there is a problem before manners because it means that you are not wearing your shoes neatly in the first place.

Also, when you take off your shoes, you can put the laces inside your shoes so they don't get in the way around you, so it's smart .

And when you put your shoes on, use a shoehorn and tie the laces tightly.

It is more important to keep it clean

Of course, you should be careful when taking off your shoes, but it is also important to keep your shoes clean when visiting a friend's house or a store.

At the very least, prepare it by polishing it so that it is free of dust and dirt.

Manners for tying leather shoe laces

Parallels and singles are better when lace-up shoes are considered manners.

In situations where formal leather shoes are required, such as weddings and funerals, it is better to use parallel or single laces.

Overlaps and underwraps give a casual impression, but parallel or singles are safe because the strings are parallel and give a solid impression.
