How Are Semi Formal Shoes Different From Formal Shoes?
 

It is not very challenging to tell casual shoes apart from formal footwear. Shoes for a semi-formal setting are considerably different. Semi-formal footwear is essentially formal footwear with a more casual appearance. If you were to rank dress or formal shoes from the least formal to the most formal, semi-formal shoes would be at the lower end of the scale. Style, material, and color are often the three components that determine a shoe's true formality. An oxford made of brown calfskin, for example, is less formal than one made of black patent leather.
 

Key Differences You Must Know Between Formal And Semi-Formal Shoes
 

• The semi-formal shoe, also known as business casual, is the middle ground that blends a "smart yet relaxed"
       motif. Depending on whether the occasion is formal or semi-formal, you can use these to determine whether
       a pair of shoes are suited for it. The key differences between semi formal and formal shoes:
   
• The amount of embellishment on the shoe
   
• If shoelaces are present on the shoes or not
   
• The color of the leather, and the type of sole.
