The Oxford Shoe (a.k.a. Balmore) is a style of men’s shoe characterized by quarters with shoelace eyelets that are sewn under the vamp known as “closed lacing”. This contrasts with Derby’s, which have shoelace eyelets attached to the top of the vamp. Oxford Shoes fit better on feet with regular to low insteps with regards to width. At Maida’s, you choose every aspect of the Oxford Shoe design. Plain, cap toe, wing tip, broguing, and saddles. You design them to work with your style, formal or casual. Choose form numerous colors in French calf, Exotics leathers or a combination of the two.
