Black O.A.O. Oxfords

$165.00

These black oxfords are our faithful replicas of the Blucher style oxfords worn during WWII by women service personnel such as WAVES, SPARS, Navy Nurse Corps, and American Red Cross. This classic 40s style shoe is also suitable for WASP and civilian attire. If you just want to go out for a night out on the town, the high quality hard leather sole makes them a great dance shoe, as well!

Description

Black leather WW II womens tie up service oxfords
Shoe color may vary between monitors and lighting, but we have matched our leather to original service colors.

These black Blucher style oxfords have calf skin leather uppers, hard leather soles with black stacked heels and rubber heel caps. Interior linings are made of sheepskin and are lightly padded for comfort. Heel height is 1.5”.

You may want to order a half size larger if you like your shoes to fit loosely, or intend to wear them with heavy socks. Please click to read our shoe size chart if you are unsure.

As with all hard leather soled shoes, these will form well to your feet after a break-in period.** To hurry the process you may want to take your shoes to a cobbler and request that they be stretched. We will be posting home break-in methods soon.

We find that the best way to keep our leather shoes in good shape is to use a shoe horn when putting them on and keep them polished with a good shoe cream.

** Shoes with worn soles or scratches will not be accepted for exchange or refund. Please try them only on carpet (or a towel or a sheet) and use a shoe horn to avoid breaking down the back of the shoe.

Backorders will only be filled according to interest and all funds will be returned if we do not have enough interest for more orders. This process can take over 6 months. 

Need to budget out your purchase? Never fear! Choose the Klarna option at checkout. Klarna splits your total into four equal slices, with no interest and no credit checks. Get your shoes right away, and have more time to pay.
