The Oxford is a sleek, formal lace-up shoe identified by its “closed” lacing style and the appeal that the shoe is made from one piece of leather. The closed style means that the eyelet flaps on top of the shoe are stitched over the vamp, or the front section of the shoe, restricting the flap’s movement. Oxfords are usually worn in more formal situations, but can also be worn casually with a business suit. The Oxford is made from Nile Crocodile Leather, with leather lining in the interior.
