Oxford shoe

[2] This contrasts with Derbys, or bluchers, which have shoelace eyelets attached to the top of the vamp.

[4] In the United States, "Oxford" is sometimes used for any more formal lace-up shoe, including the Blucher and Derby.

[6] A particular type of oxford shoe is the wholecut oxford, its upper made from a single piece of leather with only a single seam at the back or in the rare exception no seams at all.

[8] In the United States, Oxfords are called "Bal-type" as opposed to "Blucher-type".

[10] Unlike early shoes, Oxfords were cut smaller than the foot.
