The Oxford Shoe

Oxfords, of British origin, date back to the 17th century. Initially, they were worn by university students, but quickly gained popularity among the nobility and became an icon of masculine and feminine elegance. They are characterised by their closed design, in which the eyelets of the laces are sewn directly into the leather, usually 2×5 in number. Oxfords are often made of leather or suede, offering durability and sophistication. They are available in several variations, such as the brogue model, which features decorative perforations.

Recommended for formal occasions such as weddings, job interviews or corporate events, they go well with social outfits such as a suit or blazer and even with more casual looks when well coordinated. When choosing Oxfords, prioritise comfort and fit, as prolonged use can cause discomfort in ill-fitting shoes, and there’s nothing like oxfords made to the right size and shape.

Remember to check the authenticity of the material and the construction of the shoe, guaranteeing quality and durability. At suMisura you can buy your Oxfords in flex/blake or goodyear welt construction and in various leather and patina qualities.
