Black Cap Toe Oxford Dress Shoe

The Richard is a cap toe oxford built to a standard most shoes at this price do not attempt. A clean closed-lacing front, one horizontal seam across the toe, and an upper cut from full-grain calfskin from the Weinheimer tannery — the German tannery whose leather sits in some of the most respected dress shoes made in Europe. On the City last, a generous round toe and a fit that accommodates the foot properly, without sacrificing the line.

Goodyear welted by our artisans in Spain — a construction that holds its shape over years, takes a polish through decades, and resoles rather than retires. The full leather sole keeps it at its dressiest: slim, precise, the correct base for a shoe of this level.

Wear it with a dark suit and it says everything that needs to be said. Black, Weinheimer, cap toe, City last. The benchmark formal shoe, made with the leather and the construction it actually deserves.
