After Midnight 6991 Burgundy Velvet Smoker Slip-on Dress Shoe

Slip into something genuinely sleek. The After Midnight 6991 Velvet Smoker Slip-on delivers that easy, don’t-have-to-try-too-hard energy. Sharp enough for black tie, easygoing enough you’ll want a reason to wear them more often.

Here’s the scoop: this is not your cookie-cutter dress shoe. Burgundy velvet isn’t exactly blending into the crowd—actually, it’s doing the opposite with purpose. The upper catches light, feels rich (because, well, it is), and offers that bare hint of drama without veering into “look at me” territory.

It’s a classic slip-on silhouette, no laces, no fussy buckles—just crisp lines and a silhouette you won’t have to overthink. Designed for midsize feet (size 7 Standard/D/Medium), the fit walks the line between secure and relaxed. Designed for everything from cocktail hour to a jazz lounge—honestly, you could even slide them on with dark denim and a blazer, if the mood strikes.

Noticed how most formal shoes all blur together after a while? This one’s a bit more memorable. The After Midnight signature profile holds its edge—thanks in part to the plush textile and the structured smoking-slipper cut. Slide in, feel the difference instantly. (Soft, flexible interior, no pinch zones.)

Style Scenarios & Occasions:

Weddings, galas, evenings when you want your shoes to make an understated statement—those are the moments. Looks killer under black or charcoal suiting, but honestly, try it with slim chinos for a semi-formal twist. Warm fall event? Burgundy pulls in the season’s palette. Holiday parties? Easy win. And if you’re the type who likes to pull from a capsule wardrobe—this color spans plenty of vibes. If someone hands you a mic at the reception, at least you’ll have confident feet.

FAQs:

Q: Is the velvet delicate or can I wear these multiple times per season?

A: The velvet is durable enough for repeated wear but still prefers moderate weather. Avoid serious rain or muddy terrain (not a hiking shoe, you know?).

Q: What kind of fit should I expect? Are they true to size?

A: Go with your regular dress shoe size. The medium width is standard. If you wear thick socks, there’s room without feeling sloppy.

Q: Can these pair with something besides a tux or formalwear?

A: Absolutely. Try dark denim, crisp black jeans, even dressy shorts for bold summer looks. Versatile is an understatement in this case.

Q: How should I care for these after a long night out?

A: Use a soft brush to remove light dust or debris. Store them with shoe trees to keep their shape. Spot clean with water and a touch of gentle soap if needed—don’t soak or toss in a washing machine (trust us).

Care & Maintenance:

Velvet hates excess moisture, so definitely steer clear of puddles (or surprise rain). Give them a gentle brush every so often. For deeper cleaning—a soft damp cloth and dab, don’t rub. Stuff them with paper for shape, store in a cloth bag (away from sunlight). If you need to deodorize, natural bamboo charcoal inserts work like a charm.

Size & Fit Tips:

Fits like a true dress slipper—snug through the midfoot, relaxed at the heel. If you’re between sizes, consider sizing up. Thin socks keep the fit crisp. No break-in period needed—just slide on and go.

Bottom line? Stand out without maxing out. After Midnight 6991 slips on smooth and feels like you’ve always had a pair (even if this is your first shot at velvet shoes).
