Malden Oxford Shoe
The Malden bespoke Oxford shoe – a pair of rich, chestnut brown Oxford shoes with a straight toe cap and counter. It is the unusual combination of a country grain on an Oxford shoe that makes these bespoke shoes pop!
The customer was keen to have a pair of shoes which he could wear at work but also in more casual settings. So we agreed on the Oxford style, but coupled it with a Scotch grain leather. We think it is a great combination and hope that others will take up the reins and start wearing grain Oxfords.
We polished them to a relatively high shine so that the casual feel did not take over completely
With a heavier sole in rubber, they would also make a great country shoe.
UPPERS – Warm chestnut country grain calf
LINING – Straw coloured, veg. tanned calf
MAKING – 1″ heel height; 1/4″ sole; bevelled waist; inked brown finish throughout
As an alternative to an oxford, why not try a wholecut?
