Oxford shoes - Sole-Leather outsole

Oxford shoes are the flagship style for formal shoes. Featuring clean, simple lines, Oxford shoes are an elegant, refined style that looks perfect with business suits for important occasions.
Oxford shoes can be distinguished from Derbies by the cap which is sewn to the back sections. The lacing is “closed”. Oxford shoes are laced through eyelets on the vamp. Oxford shoes also feature a V-shaped opening and have finer, more formal shaping than the Derby. If you have a high instep you'll prefer the more comfortable fit of a Derby.
Traditionally, Oxford shoes have a leather sole, a sign of elegance. However, a pad can be added to prolong the life of the sole and improve grip. Bexley also offers Oxford shoes with an integrated pad.
