Thank you for the information. I should contact Bostonian's marketing department as they sell it as an Oxford.

No need to be pedantic, even Alden uses the classification of "Dress Oxfords" to mean non-slipons with Balmorals and Bluchers both being included.

i was not being perdantic - i was just trying to share the info with a fellow forumate! and just because Alden says something does not mean they are right they are just trying to sell shoes! nothing more they dont care if they get it right or wrong!

Black oxford is for farmer.

Since when is Kaspar an anagram for Ernest Kalra anyway?
