Barossa Men's Semi-Brogue Oxfords
$165.00$350.00
Crafted from full-grain French calfskin and built on a hidden-channel Goodyear welt, these shoes are made to go the distance. The leather softens and develops a deep patina with wear, while the sturdy welt construction means they can be resoled again and again. Smart enough for the office, confident enough for the weekend; built for those who buy once and buy well.

Why Welts Matter
Goodyear welting lets the sole be replaced without disturbing the upper, so you can refurbish and keep wearing the same pair for years. The cork fill compresses to your footprint for comfort that improves with time.
Leather That Lasts
Like the wines of the Barossa, full-grain French calf improves with age. It develops a fine patina over time, deepening in colour and character with each wear.
FAQ
-
Goodyear construction allows the sole to be replaced without disturbing the upper. This means a well-cared-for pair can last for decades, offering lower cost per wear than glued or cemented shoes.
-
Leather soles can feel smooth at first, but the surface quickly roughens after a few wears. For extra traction from day one, a thin rubber topy can be added by your local cobbler.
-
Always use shoe trees after wearing to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Brush away dust and dirty. Store in shoe bags if not used regularly or between seasons. For regular wear, clean, condition, and rejuvenate the leather every 4-6 weeks.
-
Expect some firmness for the first few wears. As the cork midsole compresses and the leather softens, they’ll mould to your feet, offering comfort unique to you.
-
With regular rotation, use of shoe trees, and periodic sole maintenance, a Goodyear-welted shoe can last 10–20 years or more. The upper leather often outlives several soles, so with proper conditioning and timely resoling, these shoes can serve for decades.
-
We use a sleek and elegant last that fits true-to-size. What that means is if you are a regular-fit 10 UK, for example, then our size 10 should fit you nicely. See our size chart above for further info.
