Ashford Brown Cap Toe Oxford - 675

Brown is the colour that does the most work. The Ashford in brown is a cap toe oxford built for the days a black shoe is too much and a casual one is too little — clean closed lacing, one seam across the toe, a mid-brown that sits easily with grey, navy and tan. The everyday formal shoe, done properly.

Full-grain European calfskin, the brown burnished by hand at the toe and heel so the colour breathes and shifts in the light — built up one shoe at a time. Goodyear welted by our artisans, so it keeps its shape and resoles for years.

On the 675 last — almond toe, slightly roomier fit — it settles onto the foot for comfort that holds through the day. The full leather sole keeps it at its dressiest: slim, classic, made to be resoled and kept.

The shoe you wear when "smart" has no rulebook: the office, the lunch, the evening that follows. Black is for the dress code. Brown is for everything else — and it covers more ground than the black ever will.
