Oxford Booties Rock for Fall

Ranked #16,600 in Fashion & Beauty, #357,366 overall

Women take over the classic menswear style

In case you hadn't noticed, oxford style booties and heels are EVERYWHERE - from runways to retailers. Why have they suddenly become so popular? Maybe because they're actually quite comfortable (even in heels) and because they lace up, there's about zero chance of them slipping off. And oxford style shoes are just as classic as simple pumps, since they can easily go from professional at work to sexy at night. With the right color and style, they can go with just about any outfit, from jeans and a t-shirt to a little black dress. The key is to just have fun, and once you find a style you like, get 'em in every color!

Here I've compiled the most popular colors and styles, along with helpful tips, links, and Polaroids of my favorite oxford booties. Feel free to leave a comment down below or at least rate this page by clicking the stars above if this was helpful to you.

Tip #1

Easy way to spot if a pair of shoes are really oxford style - they must lace-up over the instep (the top of your foot).

Tip #2

Unless your oxford style shoes have really cushiony insides, always wear thick, knitted tights or other hosiery that won't slip - especially with high heels. Your feet will thank you.
