Smoking Patent-Leather Oxford Shoes

Saint Laurent's black shoes are a refined take on traditional Oxford styles, which trace back to a comfortable half boot known as the 'Oxonian' which were worn by university students in the early 19th century. They're crafted in Italy from high-shine patent leather with an almond toe and low stacked leather heel. Wear them with sharp tailoring for an androgynous edit.
