Talk:Oxford shoe

message: Perhaps you should mentioned also that we call Oxford shoes, "Richelieu" also.
In France, this is the term adequate to describe these types of shoes.

We had to have a young lady assistant to help us work this graft; and
I asked Buck if he knew of one to fill the bill.
"One," says I, "that is cool and wise and strictly business from her
pompadour to her Oxfords. No ex-toe-dancers or gum-chewers or crayon
portrait canvassers for this."
Do Oxfords = Oxford shoes here? A redirect "Oxfords"->"Oxford shoes" could be made then. CopperKettle (talk) 17:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree. Here in the U.S. the term "Oxfords" is different that described in Wikipedia. --Daringest (talk) 02:12, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

text: No, here in the U.S., "oxford" and "derby" mean exactly what Wikipedia says they mean (i.e. closed lacing vs. open lacing, respectively); the problem is that few Americans understand the difference, and retailers freely use the term "oxford," even when it's inaccurate, presumably because they know that people will shell out more $ for it.  I once criticized Allen Edmonds (one of the most prominent American shoe companies) for selling a derby on Amazon and calling it an oxford.  I was voted down repeatedly by people who didn't have the foggiest idea of what I was talking about.--72.94.172.49 (talk) 06:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The link to the German article links to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmoral_(Schuh) , an article on a shoe model that is, as far as I can tell, unrelated. In my opinion it should instead link to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_(Schuh).

message: If an Oxford shoe is particularly characterised by closed lacing, with the lace eyelet under the leather, why is a shoe with the eyelet on top of the leather used as an example? Should we look for another picture?  90.205.22.33 (talk) 08:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
