Argh! Back to work shoes - black Oxfords anyone?

[AnabelleandClara]

Has anyone got a recommendation for a decent pair of Oxfords/possibly brogues they’ve seen recently?

I’m looking for:

Black
Not massively clumpy
Leather/not man made soles
Padded soles

Obviously there are the contenders in Clarks/White Stuff/Next/JL and I’ve tried Seasalt (man made sole) but I was wondering if there are any good, comfy options I’ve missed?

I’m on my feet 5-6 hours a day so comfy and splashproof would be good!

have you tried O'Keeffe? I bought a pair of their monk straps with brogue detailng last year (or maybe the year before - bit lost in lockdowns now). Very comfortable, cut (I would say) quite wide. Their prices look spendy, but they do very good discounts - down to 40% of list prices.

Oh my goodness, that's exactly the kind of thing I am after! Thank you @Tightwad2020!

You're welcome! Hope you find something suitable. I will just say that I usually take a size 39/UK 6, and I duly ordered that size. It is slightly too big/wide around the top of the foot. I could fix it with an insole/half-insole/ wear thicker socks, but haven't got round it, and they're still good. Just bear in mind that they might come up a bit bigger, depending on the shape of your foot.
