Men's Wingtip Oxford Dress Shoes - Black Leather
Description
Men's Wingtip Oxford Dress Shoes in Black Leather
The wingtip is the dress shoe with personality. The W-shaped toe cap and the brogue perforations along the seams give it detail that a plain oxford does not have, without tipping into casual. In black leather it covers work, weddings, church and evening events.
This pair has a leather upper over a gel comfort insole and a stacked heel, so it holds up through a full day on your feet rather than just a two-hour ceremony.
Please note: this style runs small. Order a half size up from your usual.

When to Wear Wingtip Oxfords
Black wingtips work for business, weddings, church and most evening events. They pair with charcoal, navy and black suits, and with dress pants and a sport coat for business casual.
They are not black-tie shoes. A tuxedo calls for a plain-toe or patent oxford, since the brogue detailing is too decorative for formal wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wingtip oxford?
A wingtip oxford is a lace-up dress shoe with a W-shaped toe cap that extends back along the sides, usually with brogue perforations. The closed lacing makes it an oxford rather than a derby.
What is the difference between a wingtip and a brogue?
Wingtip describes the shape of the toe cap. Brogue describes the decorative perforations. Most wingtips are brogued, but a shoe can be one without the other.
Can you wear wingtips to a wedding?
Yes, for most weddings. Black wingtips work with a suit for daytime and evening ceremonies. For black tie, choose a plain-toe or patent oxford instead.
Do these run true to size?
No. This style runs small. Order a half size up from your usual, or come in and get measured at one of our stores.
Are wingtips formal or casual?
They sit in the middle. Dressier than a loafer, less formal than a plain-toe oxford. Black leather is the most versatile choice.
How do you care for leather dress shoes?
Wipe them down after wear, polish every few weeks, and use cedar shoe trees between wears to hold the shape and absorb moisture.
