Claire 1940s Oxfords (Brown)
Description
A good, solid oxford is a real asset to any vintage fashion enthusiast. Why sacrifice your vintage style for practicality when you can do as your grandmother did and sport a great pair of low-heeled oxfords? Our Claire 1940s Oxfords meet all the requirements of a sensible shoe while also playing up that chic vintage style we all love.
Claire 1940s Oxfords are direct reproductions of an original CC41 compliant "Academy Girl" brand shoe. They meet all the requirements for most military unit dress shoes and are similar in design and decoration to original styles sold as military dress shoes by historic brands such as Lotus and Red Cross.
Claires are constructed of a calf leather upper, lined in brown pigskin leather, with leather soling and a 1.6 in / 4 cm stacked-look heel, just like the original.

I love these shoes.
didn't need to break them in, no blisters or anything
I bought my pair of Claire oxfords last year for a fall event but, due to health issues, couldn't attend. I hesitated wearing them as every day work wear because I'm pretty much in Birkenstocks every day. However, I just put them on and not only do they have enough room for my orthotics (they're a little tight in the instep but beggars can't be choosers lol) they have enough room for my toes to move! I did have to add some rubber grips on the front of the shoe as I was sliding around too much. But now I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these more often than not this fall and winter. Can't wait to buy another pair in a different color!! Thank you for making both half sizes AND in wide width!!!!!
Tried them on and they fit perfectly! Very comfortable - way better than the original 1940's shoes I own. Definitely will buy more. Oh, and fast shipping, too!
Very lovely shoes! I wear them for reenactments and they’re comfortable and durable enough to trek through fields for days and pretty enough to wear to work and get compliments all day!!!
