Groomsmen shoes

Should the groom pay for groomsmen's dress shoes?
Does it depend on wheither he wants the groomsmen to wear a certain type of shoe or should he pay for them even if a groomsman picks them out when trying on the suits?

Yes, mens shoes would traditionally be their own responsibility unless the groomsman wanted all the guys to wear some sort of uniform dress shoe.

The general rule is that if the bride and groom are insisting that the bridesmaids/groomsmen wear something that they don't already own then the bride and groom pay for it.

As an example, if the instruction is just wear any black shoes then it's your responsibility, but if it's wear a specific pair spotted by the groom so everyone matches then the groom pays.

Our groomsmen just wore their own black shoes.
