As the title says. Looking for something zero drop with a wide-ish toe box that can be worn to semi-formal / dress type events. Would love any community input!

I bought a pair of Vivobarefoot leather shoes on eBay that are a few years old but fit and look great (I think the current model equivalent are the Ra IV). I wear them to my office job and have worn them to weddings as well with no issues. The Gobi IV look good too if something with more ankle coverage if that's your look.

I really like that they are super flexible (you can literally roll them up) which makes packing them for trips super convenient too (which was really nice on a cruise to Europe where space was at a premium and I otherwise would have needed a ton of room for a normal pair of bulky oxfords).
