Detailed Review
The NOYZ Oxford is designed primarily for those who value both style and function. Comfort: With its chunky heel and cushioned insole, you can comfortably wear them for hours, whether you're at work or enjoying a day out. However, it’s worth noting that some users have reported needing a short period to break them in fully.
Style: The patent leather finish really makes these oxfords stand out in your wardrobe. Pair them with jeans for a more laid-back look or dress them up with skirts and tailored trousers. The lug sole not only adds to the shoe's rugged charm but also provides practical benefits such as slip resistance.
Durability: Made from 100% leather with a rubber sole, these shoes are built to withstand regular wear while maintaining their stylish edge. However, since they are not water-resistant, it's wise to avoid wearing them during inclement weather.

User Reviews
These are so good! They are so cute and seem pretty comfortable. Highly recommend!
These are not the lightest weight shoes, but comfortable regardless. They are a little heavy, but that is easy to get used to, especially since I am used to wearing combat boots. The only tip I can offer is to refrain from tying the laces too tight as they can cut into the top of your feet if tied too tightly. Other than that, they're durable, formal, and leave my feet comfortable even after wearing them all day. I wear 8 1/2 in everything, so that is the size I ordered. For me, they fit perfectly true to size.
The shoes were beyond saving after 3 months of use of approx 3 days/week. I use them in normal office environments and going out, so not too much walking either.The soles wore out and the metal part of the sole hurts your foot quite badly. I replaced the soles with some very thick ones that hold off for a while but the shoes become uncomfortable. Last month one of the soles came off at the heel though and it would be too costly to repair.Overall - looks nice, but will not last very long at all.
I usually wear a 8 1/2 but this fits closer to a 9. Size down a half size.
toe box detail and platform sole give them a nice look. The finish is not as shiny as patent leather, but shinier than “regular” leather-look shoes. Comfortable for all-day wear. Love them, definitely recommend
A very versatile shoe that is comfortable for wide feet. Very easy to dress up or down and a great way to add a little height without wearing heels. I like that they don’t feel too feminine or masculine and I get lots of compliments on them. Very easy to wear with skirts/dresses or pants/shorts.
I HATE that the shoe makes a hissing noise when I step. It is super annoying.
I really like these. More than expected. They're stylish and somewhat comfy. They're great to wear to work or on a casual day out. They also give you some height without killing your feet and/or ankles.
