This oxford shoe features a closed lacing: the eyelet tabs touch and the tongue emerges only at the top of the shoe. The result is a shoe with a classic structure but a punk attitude thanks to the micro studs that replace the holes on the toe cap, the vamp, and around the shoe.
1 - CLOSED LACING
The eyelet tabs touch and the tongue emerges only at the top of the shoe.
2 - BROGUE DETAILING
Decorative perforations are present on the toe cap, the vamp, and around the shoe. Wingtip toe.
The Siena oxford shoe, with a wingtip toe, is also called a Brogue due to the decorative perforations on the toe cap, the vamp, and around the shoe. A little curiosity: these holes have a very humble functional origin as they allowed water to drain out of the shoes while working in the fields. It wasn't until the 1930s that they were introduced in England as elegant decorations, called "broguings". The word comes from the Gaelic "brog" which simply means "shoe".
Each creation keeps the promise made by our craftsmen: to innovate the company while fully respecting the Italian shoemaking tradition. The story of Mille885 is an authentic Italian story, made to be told.
