There's a reason the plain Oxford never goes out of style, and this is a very good one. The upper is a top-grain mahogany calf, coloured in layers over a natural base so the toe and heel carry real depth, a shoe that photographs dark and only wears richer the more you put it on. It's Goodyear welted, the honest way to build a shoe: the sole is stitched to the upper through a leather welt, not glued, so years from now it gets resoled and goes back into rotation instead of the bin. Underfoot is a studded rubber sole, so you keep the clean lines of a dress Oxford but get grip that handles wet sidewalks and gravel without a second thought. Made in England on a classic last, fully leather lined and cut clean with no broguing. This is the one you reach for with a suit on a Monday, and again with dark denim and a blazer when the outfit needs to look considered.
Stocked in a G (wide) fitting. Fits true to size on the last; if you're between sizes, take the half-size down. Sizes shown are US; tap UK or EU in the chart below to convert.
Sizes on our site are shown in US. Loake is an English maker — tap UK or EU to switch the primary column and read your size across. EU sizes are whole numbers only (Loake makes no EU half sizes), so a US/UK half size shares the EU number shown — order the whole EU. Fits true to size on the last; if you're between sizes, take the half-size down.
