Be it online or offline, custom made or bespoke, here's where to find stylish and formal men's shoes in Singapore.
We love a man in a plain white T-shirt and rugged jeans, but we’re going to come out and say it. There’s just something about a gent dressed to the nines. You know exactly what we’re talking about – immaculately groomed coifs, impeccable suits and, of course, a musky scent to boot. The only thing left to keep you looking sharp? A fine pair of shoes. We know shopping for men’s formal footwear isn’t a walk in the park, so here’s our guide to the top stores for men’s dress shoes in Singapore.
Where to shop for men’s formal shoes in Singapore
1. The Decorum Singapore
Hailing from Bangkok, The Decorum is a brand that absolutely screams class. When you drop by the showroom, be prepared for an enriching experience. These folks are as passionate as they are knowledgeable; they’re more than happy to share what they know about shoes and how to take care of them. For menswear aficionados, follow The Decorum on social media to get wind of when it’s hosting its next trunk show.

2. Arden Teal
For quality and affordable shoes, we can’t think of a better place than Arden Teal. The leather is durable and soft to the touch. To get technical, because of the blake-stitched style of the shoe, it’s comfortable and easy to replace the outsole. Plus, we love that the owner is incredibly friendly to shoppers. So why stop at shoes? If you need a new leather belt for work, check out the range in the showroom. It’s located within Tampines, which can be quite a journey for our westie friends. But we promise it’s worth the trip.
