I have a formal wedding (posted about it in another thread) and decided to spend money and buy my own tux. Now I have the tux, shirt, tie and am just missing the shoes. I went to Nordstrom to get an idea and got confused. With regular (non patent leather) shoes it is fairly easy to see the differences in quality but all the shoes I saw felt plasticy. I saw the Allen Edmonds Kendal and the Allen Edmonds Copley and the Calvin Klein Gareth.
Though I presume there are serious quality differences (besides the fact that the CK were hideous) they seemed at par, hence my questions:
1) What shoes would you recommend buying? (I would like to keep it bellow $300 but it's not rigid).
2) Is it really worth buying expensive shoes for rare events? I know, I spent all this money on the rest of the outfit and want the shoes to be at par, but is there such a difference?
