Shoe connoisseurs can be rather specific about their shoe terminology. So if you are planning to describe your new Embassy London Men’s Oxford shoes as “Wingtips”, you need to be sure they actually meet the criteria. In order for a shoe to be a Wingtip, it needs to have a more fanciful cap on the toe. The brogue detailing must come up to a point. This point is what makes it have the appearance of bird wings, thus making it a wingtip shoe. The Wingtip is often confused with a capped toe shoe, where the detailing across the toe doesn’t come to a point, thus making it a cap toe and not a Wingtip shoe. Men’s wingtips, such as the Stylish Embassy London men’s brogues are known for incorporating this small, but important detail into their men’s oxford shoes. And although the devil is in the details, it doesn’t mean this shoe is any more, or less, formal. Men can easily wear a pair of wingtip shoes with a pair of jeans. Or if they chose to make their wingtips a formal occasion shoe, all black wingtips look great with a suit.
