Ashford Dark Brown Cap Toe Oxford - 722

Take the most formal brown there is and sharpen it. On the 722 last the Ashford in dark brown runs long and lean with a slight chisel toe — a near-black brown with a modern edge that flatters charcoal and navy and never reads loud. The serious brown, drawn sharp.

The upper is full-grain European calfskin. The dark brown is laid on by hand, burnished deeper at the toe and heel so the colour shifts and gains depth — the work of an artisan, one shoe at a time. Goodyear welted for a build that resoles and lasts.

The 722 is one of our sleekest lasts: a chisel toe and a stylized line, sharper and more contemporary than the rounder 675. The full leather sole holds it at its dressiest — slim, classic, made to be polished and resoled. The same deep brown, a leaner silhouette.

For the man who wants warmth in his formal shoe and edge in its line. Dark brown does the diplomacy; the 722 does the modern.
