Label TextThe Oxford shoe was an Edwardian era (1901-1914) favourite. These shoes would have been worn with suits, skirts, casual day wear. Oxfords were often flat or had low heels like this pair has. French or Louis heels, named after King Louis XIV, and curved with a flared base were popular. Wide ribbon laces were common on women's Oxfords, like the black ones on this pair.
