The Oxford shoe

The Oxford shoe is a classic style of footwear characterized by its close-lacing design, where the eyelets (the holes for laces) are sewn under the vamp (the upper part of the shoe). This gives Oxfords a sleek and polished appearance, making them popular for formal occasions. They typically have a low heel and a rounded toe, and can be made from various materials, including leather and suede. Oxfords are versatile and can be worn with suits, dress trousers, or even smart-casual outfits, making them a staple in men’s and women’s wardrobes.
