Black Cap Toe Oxford with Rubber Half Soles
Pick your size to see when your pair will arrive
A black cap toe Oxford for the days that don't stay in the office. Full-grain calfskin from the Weinheimer tannery, closed lacing, one clean seam across the toe, the Richard on the generous City last. Goodyear welted by our artisans, one pair at a time, in a workshop in Almansa. Beneath the leather sits a discreet high-density rubber half-sole: the clean formal profile of the Weinheimer black stays intact while you gain grip on wet ground and a sole that outlasts the purely leather version.
The formal shoe made for real movement — works as well at the end of a long day as at the start of it. The Weinheimer leather and the cap toe read exactly as they should from above; the rubber handles everything below.
The correct formal shoe, made ready for the commute.

A cap toe Oxford is the shoe every other dress shoe gets measured against. Closed lacing keeps the line clean — the lace flaps are stitched under the vamp, so the shoe reads as one piece from toe to heel. A single seam across the toe does the rest: enough structure to look deliberate, never enough to distract. Wear it to the wedding, to the boardroom, to the dinner that matters, and it is correct in all three. Ours are built in top-grade European calfskin over a Goodyear welt, which is why the silhouette holds its shape years in instead of settling into a soft, tired shoe.
Toe shape: Round · Fit: Very roomy · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads classic, open, and unpretentious. The round toe makes no attempt to surprise — it states what it is with quiet confidence. No edges, no pronounced almond: the curve is continuous and generous, with a shape that feels familiar and comfortable from the first glance.
The fit is particularly generous — among the widest in the catalog — making it ideal for wide feet or for anyone who wants unrestricted comfort. The elegance comes from the whole, not the toe: an impeccable dress shoe that lets the leather and construction do the talking.
A half-rubber sole is a leather sole with a thin, high-density rubber half-sole set into the forepart — the half that meets the pavement first and wears out first.
From the side it is still a leather sole, so the shoe keeps the slim profile and the dress-shoe line; underfoot it grips on wet stone and lasts appreciably longer between resoles.
It is the answer to the most common question we get: how do I wear these to the office when the walk from the train is ten blocks in the rain. If you own one dress shoe and it has to work every day, this is the finish to pick.
