About Oxfords

Defined as a low leather shoe with lacing over the instep, the oxford shoe is as versatile as it is timeless. There are so many styling options: round toe, cap toe, bicycle toe, Algonquin toe, wingtip… and the list goes on. Whatever aesthetic the occasion calls for, from casual to formal, there is a pair of oxfords that fits the bill. Take the workplace for example; oxford shoes are ideal for the white or blue collar professional. If you spend your days at a desk and in meetings, match a pair of Allen-Edmonds™, Johnston & Murphy®, Bostonian®, Florsheim® or Rockport® oxford shoes with khakis or slacks for a board-approved look. If you work in the construction or hospitality industry, tried and true brands like Dickies®, Caterpillar®, Wolverine®, Timberland PRO®, Skechers Work® and Dr. Martens® offer shoes with steel toes and slip, oil and abrasion-resistant outsoles. Work won’t seem like work when you’re wearing the perfect oxford.


When it’s time to relax and enjoy yourself or head out on the town with friends, it’s time for your favorite pair of jeans and a comfortable, stylish oxford. Timberland®, Skechers®, Nunn Bush®, Dunham®, Dockers®, Bass® and Clarks® offer denim-friendly oxfords for men and women with an abundance of comfort features.
