Men's Spats Shoes

Men's spats shoes are really two pieces: your dress shoes, and a pair of spats snapped over them. Ours are smooth black faux leather with a gentle sheen, four dark metal snaps on the outer side and a buckled strap under the sole. Black on black gives the look of a tall, polished button boot, the formal version of the 1920s style. Shoes are not included.

Black Spats and Shoes for Black-Tie Gatsby Nights

Smooth black spats belong with a tuxedo or a dark three-piece suit. Wear them over black patent or polished oxfords, with black socks, a white wing-collar shirt and a black bow tie. At a Gatsby gala or a New Year's Eve ball, the spats extend the shine of the shoe up toward the trouser hem. Other finishes are in our spats.

Fitting Spats Over Your Own Shoes

Choose M or L; the strap under the sole adjusts the fit. Lace your shoes first, wrap each spat with the snaps on the outside, buckle the strap just ahead of the heel, then snap upward. Let the trousers break lightly over the top so the spats show without bunching.

Spats Shoes FAQ

Do these come with shoes?

No. The pair covers your own shoes, so you dance in shoes you already know.

Some photos show brown and gray. Why?

Those images show the same spats in other colors so you can see how they sit when worn. This page is for the smooth black pair.

Can I wear black spats with a brown suit?

We would not. Black spats want black shoes and dark tailoring; with brown suits, our chocolate brown or mustard suede-look pairs are the better match.
