Characterized by elegance and English classicism. It is said that the Oxford was named by students at the university of the same name, and its existence dates back more than two centuries. The sequence of operations to construct it is unique, with the inner and outer quarters and the tongue sewn under the vamp, creating a closed lacing system. Unlike the more casual Derby, the Oxford is more formal.

The Oxford Model: The Timeless Emblem of Masculine Elegance

Elegant and formal, these shoes are the icons of an essential and chic look. The name refers to the students of Oxford University who, in the 19th century, adopted them to replace the uncomfortable boots worn until then, but they are also known as Richelieu and, in Italy, as Francesine. Their main characteristic lies in the lacing, which is defined as "closed", there is no space between the two eyelet carriers that form a single piece: the shoe once laced gives the foot line an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Suitable for formal events such as ceremonies, gala evenings, job interviews, these shoes require an elegant outfit or, in any case, decidedly sober: elegant pants, well-cut shirts, but also prestigious clothes like tailcoats and tuxedos.

From University to Sartorial Excellence: The Journey of a Legendary Shoe

The Oxford shoe is generally smooth but can also appear "decorated" with perforations. However, this latter version is not worn after 6 p.m., as stipulated by the Prince of Wales' code of conduct! Representative of the masculine style for years, new fashion trends have led to the creation of a series of versions of Oxford shoes, always elegant, suitable not only for gentlemen but also for younger people.

Oxford: Handcrafted Elegance

The Oxford shoe, is still considered one of the most attractive and elegant footwear pieces. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, it is distinguished by its closed lacing system, which adds an extra dimension to the design while providing a feeling of comfort and confidence with every step. Ideal for pairing with a suit or formal attire, it's perfectly suited for any occasion where elegance is required. At Benson Shoes, each pair is handmade with great attention to detail.
