{"product_id":"sanders-london-brogue-oxford-black","title":"Sanders London Brogue Oxford Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack is the most formal way to buy a full brogue and the least fussy to place: business dress, evening, occasions that call for a dark shoe. What the broguing does is stop it looking severe. Black calf on a plain Oxford can be a flat, hard expanse; punched with a medallion and a wing cap it breaks the light up, so the shoe keeps some character in a wardrobe that is otherwise navy and grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the London that takes a shine most visibly. Black wax builds on the toe and the heel counter faster than a brown does, and the contrast between polished caps and a matte middle is easier to see. If you already own a plain black Oxford and want a second black shoe that is not the same shoe, this is the one to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe London is a full wingtip brogue Oxford. The toe cap is cut to a W, with wings running back down each side of the shoe, and the pattern is punched throughout — a medallion on the toe and perforations along every seam. The lacing is closed, the facings stitched under the vamp, which is what makes it an Oxford rather than a Gibson and what keeps the profile tight and formal despite all the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Goodyear welted with a leather sole and lined right through in leather, built on Sanders' KEN last in an F (standard) fitting, UK 6 to 12. The welt means it can be resoled for as long as the upper survives; the leather sole keeps the shoe close to the ground and formal in a way a rubber unit would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing before you order: Sanders say the KEN last runs generous and advise taking half a size down from your usual size. That is the opposite of their crepe-soled casual models, which run snug and are taken half a size up, so do not assume your Sanders size carries across from a Hi Top or a Lo Top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brush after each wear. Feed with a black cream polish every few wears, then build wax on the toe and heel for a shine. Work the brush into the punching — brogues collect polish in the perforations and dry grey if it is left there, and it shows more on black than on anything else. Shoe trees overnight, and a day of rest between wears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanders","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":64187381743993,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_6","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5","offer_id":64187381776761,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_6_5","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":64187381809529,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_7","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":64187381842297,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_7_5","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":64187381875065,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_8","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":64187381907833,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_8_5","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":64187381940601,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_9","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":64187381973369,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_9_5","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":64187382006137,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_10","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":64187382038905,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_10_5","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":64187382071673,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_11","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":64187382104441,"sku":"SANDERS_LONDON_BROGUE_OXFORD_BLACK_12","price":405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9017\/4329\/files\/London-8468B_A.jpg?v=1786083947","url":"https:\/\/english-brands.co.uk\/products\/sanders-london-brogue-oxford-black","provider":"English Brands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
