Hi, I really enjoy your blog. I also enjoy oxfords (with or without brogueing/cap toe) in a very dark brown, blue or burgundy color, bordering on black, in the mid- to high-price range. These would function as my “formal” shoes in place of boring pitch black oxfords. Any pointers? Gracias.

Thank you for your interest!

Thanks - I also like shoes with some character to replace basic black oxfords, although you have to be careful with the color. You have many options in the truly mid-to-high price range, which I would deem $500-$1500. If you’ve got that kind of money to throw around, I’d definitely go custom through a good maker like EG, Carmina, Lobb, or St. Crispins, to name a few. You could also get in touch with Mr. Ethan Desu, who has made a number of midnight navy kicks through the Armoury, I believe.
