The Oxford – timeless noblesse Hardly any other men's shoe model is as common as the Oxford, especially when it comes to festive occasions and grand entrances. A particularly classic shoe model, traditional, and especially in black, it is the perfect shoe for a suit. It owes its name to the students at Oxford University who popularized this model in the mid-19th century; At a time when boots ruled the roost, they defied convention with low shoes. There is no trace of the rebellious spirit in this model today; on the contrary, it embodies timeless traditional elegance like no other. Like a reflection of light on polished black shoes, citrus notes of tart grapefruit and sweet orange rise above the peppery heart of “Oxford.”

Aromatic, tingling, spicy-hot pepper combines with pink pepper, adding its very own signature. Slightly fruity accents are reminiscent of roses, which in turn is underlined by the green and rose-like nuances of geranium. The base features fine woods such as cedar and sandalwood, accented by vetiver, some patchouli and benzoin resin.

"Oxford" by Roberto Ugolini stands for reserved, naturally worn class, for the noble that doesn't make much of itself. Pure understatement!

From all over the world, lovers of the finest custom-made shoes make a pilgrimage to Florence, to Via dei Michelozzi, located directly on the Piazza Santo Spirito. The inconspicuous entrance to the small shop is located between an osteria and a street café and could almost be overlooked. As modest as the exterior may be, the bespoke shoes that Roberto Ugolini has been building in his workshop for over 20 years are just as spectacular and have long since become famous among connoisseurs around the world.
