Martinengo Patent Evening Oxford for Men - Patent Leather Tuxedo Oxfords

Martinengo is a patent Oxford made for black-tie. The glass-like shine runs unbroken from toe to heel, the closed lacing sits flush, and a slim metal plate caps the heel for a flash of detail as you walk. A contrast lining adds colour inside. Wear it with a tuxedo or a dark bandhgala.

An Oxford has closed lacing - the quarters are stitched under the vamp - so the lacing sits flush and the shoe looks sleek and formal. It is the classic dress shoe for suits and ceremonies. It is built on a stitched leather sole with a stacked heel, so it can be resoled when it wears down. The patent finish gives a glass-like shine that needs only a wipe to look perfect. Wear it with a suit, a dinner jacket or a bandhgala for office days, weddings and formal events. Handmade by Melodiapelle, it is built to be worn for years, not seasons.
