Oxford shoes, together with Blucher shoes, are the world's commonest type of shoes, especially in the world of men's footwear. You can identify them easily thanks to the following characteristics:
- Plain shape and lack of ornamentation
- Lacing quarters sewn under the vamp
- Warmth and resistance to moisture
Undoubtedly, the most visible and recognisable element is the lace eyelets stitched into the vamp. This distinguishes Oxfords from men's Blucher shoes, which have more open lacing. This feature makes Oxford shoes a warm and moisture-resistant type of footwear and, therefore, perfect for rainy weather. The plainness of their design, which tends to avoid exuberant decoration, makes men's Oxford shoes one of the most suitable options for an elegant look.
The variations that we can find among Oxford shoes are determined by their varying degrees of decoration. We thus find:
- Plain Oxfords
- Legate Oxfords
- Semi-brogue Oxfords
- Full-brogue Oxfords
Plain Oxford shoes, as the name suggests, have no decorative elements at all, while legate Oxfords include discrete broguing along the seams. Semi-brogues have broguing on the toe and the seams and the full-brogues also incorporate broguing on the sides. As we can see, Oxfords, although they may be ornate, always maintain a characteristic note of sobriety, as even the full-brogue Oxford has less intense broguing than is found on other shoe types.
In view of the great elegance afforded by the shoes, Oxfords are ideal for highly formal garments and situations. However, as with other shoe types, more informal variants have been emerging. Nevertheless, the greatest elegance comes in the form of plain Oxfords, which can be combined with dark and medium grey suits, morning coats, dinner jackets and blazers. Brogued Oxfords offer further possibilities for elegance, but with a touch of informality as they are more appropriate for combining with dark, grey and medium grey suits, blazers and casual suits. Oxford shoes also look especially good with more casual garments such as shirts and jeans.
Oxford shoes usually come in very sober colours such as black and dark brown. It is best to combine them with garments of similar shades, provided you want to achieve a very formal look. Suede Oxfords usually offer softer shades and are therefore more flexible when combined with more colourful garments. Indeed, suede makes these shoes a perfect choice for a more casual or sporty look. This option offers many more possibilities; in fact, the more audacious among us can combine them with some brightly coloured socks.
The origin of Oxford shoes is unclear, although they are generally accepted to be a Scottish design. Before being called Oxfords, they were known as Balmorals, after the castle of the same name in Scotland. In any case, the truth is that their great warmth and resistance to moisture made them a popular shoe for gamekeepers and hunters.
Later, in the nineteenth century, in a show of rebellion, students at Oxford University began wearing these shoes, which were more common among the working classes than the classic boots usually seen in the corridors of this iconic university. Over time, this shoe spread to all segments of society, and today Oxford women's shoes are also firmly established.
