FAQ about oxford and derby shoes
On an oxford, the lace panels are sewn in under the front of the shoe, which gives a closed, sleek look. On a derby, the lace panels are sewn on top, so the lacing is open and easier to adjust to the foot. Both were everyday classics from the 1920s to the 1950s.
Oxford heels are lace-up oxfords with a medium to high heel. They were the everyday heel of the 1930s and 1940s, elegant enough for the office and sturdy enough to walk in all day. Marie, Mildred, Juliette and Lucy are good examples.
Yes. The laces hold the foot securely, and our heels are shaped for balance. Many styles have soft silicone inserts under the insole, and our flat oxfords and derbies, such as Emily and Eleanor, are made for walking all day.

The story of oxford shoes
The oxford began as a men's shoe and was adopted by women in the early 1900s, first as a sturdy lace-up with a curved Edwardian heel. In the 1920s and 1930s it became the everyday shoe for work and city life, often with a higher heel, perforations or tassels. In the 1940s, practical oxfords and derbies with a solid heel were worn by women at work, while two-tone spectator and saddle oxfords became popular for weekends and dancing.
Our oxfords and derbies are based on originals from these decades. We have kept the period details, from the perforations and toe caps to the shape of the heel.
Every pair is made from full-grain leather or suede in small production runs.
Many styles have discreet silicone inserts under the insole, so you can wear them all day. Several styles also come in wide fit.
