OXFORD SHOES Ah Oxford, "city of dreaming spires", a term coined by the poet Matthew Arnold to characterise the harmonious architecture of the limestone townscape home to characters as diverse as Evelyn Waugh's super-effete Sebastian Flyte and Colin Dexter's drunken, argumentative Inspector Morse - and to a shoe whose legend equals theirs, the Oxford Shoe. Oxford Mens shoes are historically rather austere, a development of the "dancing pump" that was originally known as an "Oxonian". Many modern Oxford shoes have a piece of leather stitched over the toe section and are sometimes called Toe Cap Oxfords or Oxford Caps. Most designs can be classified "dress casual". Our PREMIUM Oxford Mens Shoes are constructed from supple full grain, aniline-dyed calf hides specifically selected from Europe's first-rated tanneries. Style and Exclusivity are the watchwords. Our SELECT Oxford Shoes are made from Calf Leather, the leather from younger hides, sourced from tanneries around the world for Quality and Strength. Our GRADE range of Oxford Shoes are cobbled from calf Leather, fully calf lined, and with a full-length padded insole.
