Oxford shoes can be recognized by their closed lacing and the eyelets attached under the vamp, and are of a more refined shape than derbies. The Selina 90 women's oxford model by Melvin & Hamilton is in vegetable tanned calf leather with a leather & rubber sole. Very elegant and chic, they are ideal for the fall / winter season, and their quality leather allows you to wear them for several years. Take care of your oxfords by using cedar wood shoe trees when you're not wearing them. The shoe trees prevent creases and wear of the leather.
