Hi there, I have been looking for a pair of black cap toe Oxford shoes for a while now.
Is it me or do black shoes simply not look as good as their brown versions?
After going to Crockett & Jones, intent on walking away with a pair of black Oxfords I returned home empty handed because after trying on the Edgware shoes in black I simply wasn't bowled over enough by them. Somehow though they looked amazing in brown! How is that possible?
So today I stumbled upon the Septieme Largeur website and have so far been very taken by the Eugene black oxford with slim rubber sole.
What I think it may have more of over other black oxfords is symmetry, and I think that it's this symmetry which is what I have, unbeknownst to me, been searching for.
What do you guys think? Also if you have any pictures of them from your own collection then please post them. I'd love to see them.
Thanks.
