Dictionary

Oxford is a style of shoe where the two flaps of leather with the piercings for the laces are stitched together at the bottom underneath the vamp. The laced area opens in a closed-type v-shape and does not allow as much adjustment unlike Derby shoes.

There are several main types of Oxford shoes to be distinguished:

Plain Oxford

Cap Toe Oxford

Wingtip Oxford (Brogue)

Saddle Oxford

Wholecut Oxford
