OXFORD – about craftsmanship, stories, and mastery
OXFORD opened its doors back in 2018. The store was founded by theatre and film actor, head of Lithuania’s only professional improvisation theatre Kitas kampas, talented improviser and successful entrepreneur Audrius Bružas. As the founder himself says, the idea for the OXFORD shop was born from an admittedly personal wish to have, for himself and others, a place offering high-quality, stylish, classic and casual shoes, where you could always find tasteful shoe designs that were "straight from the shoemaker's workshop." OXFORD – A. Bružas’ first shoe shop.
Every field that has become a classic has clearly defined, time-tested forms of style, canons and quality standards. In much the same way, footwear has refined its models, names, styles, and quality standards over the centuries – details best understood and adhered to by specialised manufacturers: the shoemakers. OXFORD – a classic handmade footwear shop for men, created by master shoemakers, where you will find only the highest quality shoes – carefully chosen footwear from manufacturers with centuries-old shoemaking traditions, each pair with its own story and an excellent price–quality ratio.
OXFORD offers only specialised brands of footwear manufacturers with long-standing shoemaking traditions. OXFORD – the sole representative in Lithuania of the SOLOVAIR, RED WING, BERWICK, DUCANERO, CORVARI, FRACAP brands from Italy, Great Britain, Spain and the USA.
The footwear available at the OXFORD store is made using the highest quality materials, natural leather, leather, rubber, or combined soles. Most of the handmade footwear models available in the store are sewn using two basic shoe-making technologies for attaching the sole: Goodyear Welted and Blake.
The variety of classic and stylish models will meet the needs of even the most discerning customer. From formal Oxfords to classic Derbies, from elegant Loafers to Brogue boots. In the OXFORD shop you can find footwear for every occasion – from smart casual to white-tie, from comfortable classic styles or casual trainers for everyday wear to premium classic shoe styles for formal occasions.
Our customers include quality-conscious lawyers, business people, refined gentlemen who know the dress code inside out, actors, musicians, doctors, stylish youngsters, newlyweds and many other people who value and respect tradition. After all, good, high-quality shoes are a person’s calling card, a means of self-expression and a signature.
When creating new collections, the OXFORD store team visits shoemakers in person, visits their factories, tries on shoes, and carefully selects each shoe model that will be presented to store customers. Every men’s shoe model in OXFORD has been tried on by the shop’s founder, A. Bružas.
Only experienced professionals work in the shop, who are well versed in the history of each brand sold, wear the shoes themselves and can explain in detail each model’s construction technologies, materials, leather types and their differences, subtleties of wear and proper care, advise on how best to match shoes to a suit or everyday outfit, and help you choose the right accessory to pull your whole look together.
