Messina Semi-Brogue Cap-Toe Oxford for Men - Lug-Sole Leather Dress Shoes

Messina puts a properly finished semi-brogue Oxford on a sole it was never meant to have, and the result is better than either half. The upper is hand-patinated in layers so the finish lightens across the vamp and deepens at the edges, with a hand-punched cap toe and a perforated border tracing the quarters. A gold metal toe-tip sits at the front.

Beneath it is a lugged rubber sole with a contrast midsole edge - the detail that pulls the shoe out of the boardroom and into everyday wear. Closed Oxford lacing keeps the instep sharp, the leather welt keeps it resoleable, and the whole thing walks far better on a city pavement than a thin leather sole ever will. Messina is the hybrid dress shoe for men who dress properly but do not sit still.
