Product Information

But sometimes the only thing you need to snap yourself out of a rut is a new pair of shoes—at least, that's what I've been telling myself—and what is 2020 but one long rut with no foreseeable end in sight? But what doesn’t bother me, apparently, is when that confusion happens naturally — when people compliment a relatively inexpensive thing I’m wearing because their naked eyes confuse it for a much fancier cousin.

Docs in general tend to be pretty flattering shoes, and the brand's classic three-eyelet oxford is no exception.
