Details about 
574
No. 574 is a stylish and elegant cap-toe Oxford in dark brown. The Oxford is a classic British shoe that first became popular at the start of the 19th century, when it was first worn by Oxford students. In 1830 budding academics flocked to this flat lace-up shoe, preferring it to previously-ubiquitous mid-height boots. Shortly thereafter, the Oxford gained broad social acceptance. Today, it is widely considered the pinnacle of elegance.
No. 574 is distinguished by clean lines and a classic vamp cut, which creates the impression that the shaft consists of a single piece of leather. The shoe’s closed lacing is threaded through six eyelet pairs, and nearly conceals the tongue lying beneath—you can only see its upper edge. The upper is made of soft and supple calfskin, broken up by a seam running diagonally over the toes. This is the toe cap seam that gives the shoe its name.
A dark brown cap-toe Oxford belongs in every modern gentlemen’s wardrobe—this kind of shoe exudes pure elegance. The modern colour of the upper pleasantly lightens up the look of No. 574, making this stylish shoe the perfect choice for virtually any occasion. This new take on an old classic looks fantastic with dark grey suits, as well as with corduroys and tweed. It is perfect for the office and free time alike.
Captoe Oxford
The cap-toe version of one of the most elegant men’s shoes in the world. Featuring distinctive six-eyelet lacing and a dark blue upper, this classic cap-toe Oxford is the perfect choice for formal occasions.
French Last
Our French last features a two-centimetre toe vault, narrowly tapered front, and comfortably wide mid-foot area. Lively and modern in design, this kind of last is perfect for average-width and narrow feet.
French Calf
This shoe’s upper boasts premium, medium-soft and fully-dyed calfskin. The technical term for this kind of leather is "French calf". This type of leather is known for its flexibility, fine texture, and soft grain.
Antique Finish
The upper has been fully-dyed dark brown, while an intricate finish at the toe lends a final decorative touch. This special refinement at the tip of the shoe imbues the leather with a darkly gleaming shimmer.
General information about our formal shoe collection
Goodyear-Welted
The gold standard when it comes to shoe manufacturing. Goodyear welting is a painstaking process that involves stitching the shaft and outsole to a thin strip of leather. Shoes made this way are extremely stable, durable, breathable, and easy to repair.
Handcrafted
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
Full-Leather Shoes
The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.
Construction
These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.
Gentleman's Corner
These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.
Breathable
This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
Delivery Content
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Shoebox
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant black shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Said shoebox is easy to open, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a note on our philosophy.
Spare Shoe Laces
Should you find yourself in need of new shoelaces, look no further: this pair of Goodyear-welted shoes comes with a spare pair of shoelaces. Made of 100% cotton and treated with wax, these shoelaces are of the very best quality.
Shoe Bag
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.
Shoe Care Guide
Goodyear-welted shoes last far longer than mass-produced models. A dedicated cleaning and care routine is an indispensable part of keeping your shoes in mint condition. An introductory guide to shoe care is included with your order.
The values we live by
Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
Made in EU
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
Environmentally sustainable
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Pricing
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
Transparency
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.
