The oxford is the most formal shoe a man can wear, defined by its closed lacing where the quarters are stitched beneath the vamp for a clean, unbroken line. Afloir oxfords are handmade in full-grain European leather and made to order: cap toe, plain toe, wingtip and wholecut, in Goodyear welted and Blake stitch constructions. Wear them with a suit for business and weddings, or with tailored trousers for a sharper everyday look. Read our guide to Goodyear welt vs Blake stitch to choose the right construction.
