“The Charles Oxford is terrific! It's stylish and very comfortable. The fit is just right for me; it is a bit snug but not tight. The heel doesn't slip. The lug soles are light and very cushiony, making them great for walking and standing for long periods.”

THE DETAILS

Thanks to their rubber lug sole, Cole Haan's Camea Oxfords can handle a cold, rainy day. Perfect for traveling and long work weeks, these classic leather Oxfords are built with comfort in mind. They are lightweight and have a plush footbed, as well as a heel tab that makes them easy to pull on and off.

PROMISING REVIEW
"These shoes are really well-made and timeless in their design. I love oxfords and I think these are maybe the best pair I have purchased in years. The leather is supple and comfortable. The toe box has enough room and they are true to size. They have a great style and look good with everything."

THE DETAILS
Naturalizer—a brand known for its high-quality leather—has added a trendy feel to the traditional style of the Darry Lace Oxfords through a round-toe box and a platform lug sole. And like the last pair, these loafers are also designed to be flexible and lightweight.

Pick this pair up in Black or Toffee Leather. Either way, you'll look classically cool.

THE DETAILS
Wingtop Oxfords at their finest—that's what you get with the Mr. Evans Oxfords from The Office of Angela Scott. Handmade in Portugal, these shoes have a cork midsole that shapes to your foot over time. But heads-up: Nordstrom says these run a half-size small. 

PROMISING REVIEW
"Amazing! The craftsmanship is stunning, and the attention to detail is apparent. They were comfortable right out of the box. With each wear, they break in a bit more and mold to the foot. They may seem a bit pricey, but these are definitely an investment in shoes you'll have for years."

THE DETAILS
If you're easily drawn in by a shiny pair of shoes, you need to lay your eyes on J.Crew's Winona Oxford Loafers in spazzolato leather. This unique form of polished leather is made in Morocco and has a glossy finish that gives these loafers a fancy feel.

MORE TO KNOW
These shoes are resistant to scuffs, as spazzolato leather is considered a hard-wearing, scratch- and stain-proof material.

THE DETAILS
Everyone knows Dr. Martens, but did you know that the 1461 Classic Oxfords were the second shoe ever produced by the brand? A classic through and through, these loafers feature the iconic air-cushioned comfort soles the brand is known for with a lace-up leather upper and a round toe box.

MORE TO KNOW
If you visit Dr. Martens' website, you can find the 1461 Classic Oxfords in a range of leather options (including a vegan version).  

THE DETAILS
On the sportier side of the Oxford look, you've got Cole Haan's ZERØGRAND Wingtip Oxfords. The rubber soles on these shoes are flexible and lightweight, but that doesn't take away from the impact of the intricate, laser-cut details on their leather upper.

MORE TO KNOW
This style runs small, so Cole Haan suggests ordering a half size up from your usual.

THE DETAILS
The Emma d'Orsay Oxfords deviate from the classic silhouette with deep side cutouts and a lace-free upper. Despite their modern feel, the d'Orsay design dates back to the 19th century, so there's a good chance they'll stay in style for years to come.

PROMISING REVIEW
"I was looking for an Oxford style shoe for work (business/business casual) and nothing quite fit what I was wanting until I found the Emma d'Orsay Oxford. Once the shoes arrived I really fell in love—the leather was very high quality and they fit perfectly. They look great with both dress pants and jeans. Definitely follow the recommendation to go up a half size, I'm typically an 8.5 and got a 9."

THE DETAILS
If there's one thing to glean from our algorithm's pick for the best Oxford shoes, it's that Cole Haan is crushing it in this category. The brand's third style to make the cut, the ØriginalGrand Wingtip Oxford, combines traditional brogue detailing with a contemporary EVA midsole to create a stylish shoe that can go for miles. 

MORE TO KNOW
Reviewers mention that this style runs large. Consider ordering a half size down from your usual to get the most comfortable fit possible.
