5-Eyelet Cap-Toe Oxford
Circa 1950
by
STUART McGUIRE
Ortho-Vent Spring Step Cushion Inner Sole
Euro 440

The once significant firm of Stuart McGuire offering fine English and American-made shoes such as the one shown here, exists today as a shell corporation for imported shoes of doubtful quality. Stuart McGuire is one of the 200-plus American shoemakers that succumbed over the years to cheap foreign competition, and one of the ones most missed. This charming Cap-Toe Oxford, with its disreet line of brogueing at the margin of the cap, was made, however, in the heyday of the firm. It is an undisputed classic, harkening to pre-war models, its place long established in the pantheon of gentlemen’s footwear. With McGuire’s patented foot-saving “Spring Step” inner sole.
