Description

Vintage shoe designers really knew how to kick a basic oxford up a notch with perforation, stitching, and all sorts of added interest. The Bellevue Oxfords feature these quintessentially vintage hallmarks, replete with a reproduction perforated design that goes all the way through the upper to create the most fabulously flexible, breathable, and attractive design.

Built on a new round-toe vintage last with a high toe box, the Bellevues take their upper design directly from an original 1930s lace-up in the American Duchess collection, but we've adjusted the heel height and toe shape to be more comfortable and accommodating, with our perfectly-balanced 1.6 inch / 4 cm Cuban heel.

The Bellevue Oxfords are ideal for all attire from the 1920s to the 1960s, especially for CC41 compliant and nurse uniform shoes. Bellevue comes in a high-shine, glacé finish based on originals.

Worth Every Penny

I wish I had taken the plunge on these shoes much earlier. They are magnificent. There is a reason they are expensive--and worth every penny! The historical accuracy is On Point. The profile is flawlessly graceful (putting other reproductions, not to mention modern heels, to shame!). The color is a delicious dark mulberry-brown that in bright light shows a deep oxblood. They feel sturdy and balanced, breathable enough to wear barefoot, flexible enough to wear with thicker socks. I am usually a US ladies' 6 or 6.5, and the 6.5 is ideal for my foot shape. They were easy to break in, and after two weeks of using them backstage in a circa 1934 show they are as comfortable as ever. They are now a key element in my wardrobe. I believe that with good care they will last me decades. A truly elegant and classic oxford!

Makes Me Feel Special

So glad these shoes were restocked. They feel good on my feet. I like the rounder toe box. Color fabulous. Would like the same style in white. Please let me know of upcoming sales

Gorgeous!

These are really stunning shoes, and regularly get compliments. I absolutely love the punched out pattern on them. They’re both very pretty and practical. I generally avoid heels, but these are really well balanced to walk in. I did take them to get stretched to help accommodate my wide feet, but I feel like they will be very comfortable after they are fully broken in.
