Martin Black Saddle Oxford - 675

A shaped saddle panel across the instep, closed lacing: a black saddle Oxford is the benchmark formal shape with one detail that earns a second glance. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, finished smooth for an even black shine. Here the Martin is built on the 675 last — an almond toe with a comfortable, roomier fit. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it in the formal register.

Under a dark suit it reads correct with character; under gray or navy tailoring the saddle earns its presence — enough to distinguish the shoe from a plain cap toe without drawing attention to the effort.

Correct at a distance, characterful close up — the saddle Oxford done properly.
