Black leather oxfords go with every suit and tuxedo, while brown, burgundy and other colors suit navy, gray and daytime outfits. All 19 pairs in this collection are leather and cost $139, so every pair ships free within the U.S.
Oxford or monk strap: which dress shoe do I need?
A whole cut oxford is made from a single piece of leather with no seams across the top, which gives the cleanest and most formal look. We carry it in black, burgundy, cognac, chestnut, navy, gray and green, plus a wide width black pair. A single monk strap closes with a buckle instead of laces; ours come in black and chestnut brown and work with suits and sport coats.
What color shoes go with my suit?
- Black: tuxedos, black and charcoal suits, funerals and black-tie events.
- Brown, chestnut and cognac: navy, gray, blue and brown suits, and sport coats.
- Burgundy: navy and gray suits.
- Navy, gray and green: weddings and outfits where the shoes are meant to be noticed.
For a groom or groomsmen, match the shoe color across the party; see our wedding suits and 3-piece suits.
How do sizing and break-in work?
Sizes run 8 to 15, with half sizes from 8.5 to 11.5, and the black whole cut oxford also comes in wide widths from 8W to 15W. Try new shoes on indoors on a clean floor first, because returns within 30 days require them unworn. Leather dress shoes usually feel firm at first, so wear them for short stretches before a wedding or a long day on your feet.
How do I make leather shoes last?
Keep cedar shoe trees in them, rotate between pairs, polish every few wears, and resole them rather than replace them. Unworn pairs can be returned within 30 days of delivery, with no restocking fee.
