Oxford shoes can be recognized by their closed lacing and the eyelets attached under the vamp, and are of a more refined shape than derbies. The Toni 44 men's oxford model by Melvin & Hamilton is in patent calf leather, woven calf leather with a leather & rubber sole. Very elegant, they are ideal for special occasions during the fall / winter season, and their quality leather allows you to wear them for several years. Take care of your oxfords by using cedar wood shoe trees when you're not wearing them. The shoe trees prevent creases and wear of the leather.
