Arthur Oxblood Full Brogue Oxford - 675
Ships in 8 - 15 business days
An oxblood full brogue Oxford is the most decorated shoe in the boldest color, which is a lot of shoe and exactly the point. A deep, wine-dark red that works with gray, navy, charcoal, and denim the way black does, then adds the character black can't; few men dare it on a full brogue, which is exactly why it lands: it signals taste, not risk. Closed lacing, a full wingtip, brogued perforations along every seam. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the oxblood built up by hand: burnished deeper at the toe and heel so it glows and shifts, the broguing picking up the depth across every panel. Here the Arthur sits on the 675 last — almond toe, comfortable fit. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. Beneath it sits a deep-lugged commando sole: traction, stance, and a touch more height.
A handcrafted shoe, hand-burnished oxblood, the most decorated silhouette on the most capable sole — the no-brainer for the man who wants to stand out without being too loud.
Black is correct. Oxblood, brogued, on commando, is chosen.

Toe shape: Almond · Fit: Roomy · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads balanced, clean, and classically European. The almond toe is generous — there is real volume in the toe box, well-formed and slightly domed — but it resolves into an elegant roundness that never becomes aggressive or pointed.
Compared to the 722, the 675 has more body: the foot breathes, the toes settle with natural ease. Compared to a round-toe last, it still has definition — the toe has its own character. The result is a shoe that looks serious without effort, with harmonious proportions that work with a suit, chinos, or even dark denim.
The English last in its most balanced form: presence without drama, elegance without posturing.
Broguing began as drainage.
Farmers in Ireland and Scotland punched holes in their shoes so bog water could run out, and somewhere along the way the perforations stopped being practical and started being beautiful. A brogue Oxford keeps the closed lacing and the formality of the family, then adds that punched detailing — along a toe cap, or across the full wingtip that sweeps back along the sides in a W. It is the dress shoe with something to say.
Pair it with tweed, flannel or a soft-shouldered suit.
Ours are Goodyear welted in European calfskin, so the pattern stays crisp instead of stretching out of true.
A commando sole is a chunky, deep-lugged rubber sole, and it changes the character of the shoe on purpose. The lugs bite into snow, mud and wet leaves the way no dress sole can, and the extra thickness adds close to an inch of height and a deliberate, planted stance.
It is the most rugged finish we offer and the one that survives a real winter without being babied.
Pair it with the heavier leathers and suedes and it reads confident rather than formal — a shoe for cold mornings, gravel drives and the months when the weather decides what you wear.
