Webber Oxford Shoes

Sometimes things just fall into place beautifully and this is certainly the case with these burgundy oxfords. We made them for a father ands son team as a celebration of his son’s graduation and first job. The father wanted burgundy oxfords and we happened to have a skin of Horween Chromexcel in the workshop. The customer loved it and the choice was easy!

The shoes themselves are classically simple – a plain fronted oxford with one row of brogue punching. The only adornment is the one red eyelet which is the customer’s signature which he has on all his shoes

The leather lends itself to a good shine so we concentrated on the toe area for maximum impact

What both the father and son commented on was the way your foot slips into a pair of bespoke shoes with a characteristic “whoosh”. So satisfying!
