US Army High Gloss Oxford Shoes

Regulation Dress Oxford

These are US Army issue high gloss oxfords, the plain-toe black lace-up worn with the dress uniform. The upper is a poromeric material, a synthetic leather substitute that holds a mirror shine on its own, so you get an inspection-ready finish without hours of spit-shining. Soldiers wear them with the Army Service Uniform (ASU) and Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU), and they also suit honor guards, ROTC cadets, band members and anyone who needs a formal black shoe that keeps its shine.

Features

• Poromeric High Gloss Upper — The synthetic upper has a permanent mirror finish that wipes clean with a damp cloth instead of needing polish.
• Regulation Black Finish — The color and plain-toe oxford pattern match Army dress uniform requirements for the ASU and AGSU.
• Goodyear Welt Construction — A stitched strip runs around the shoe to join the upper to the sole, giving a stronger and more water-resistant seam than a glued sole.
• Cambrelle Lining — The breathable synthetic lining wicks moisture away from the foot through long periods of standing.
• Removable Cushioned Insole — You can take the padded insole out to air it or swap in your own orthotic.
• Oil-Resistant Outsole — The black sole has a polyurethane coating and a textured tread pattern that helps prevent slipping on smooth floors.
• Urethane Heel Cup — A high-density urethane heel counter holds its shape and resists wrinkling and cracking.
• Classic Five-Eyelet Lacing — Closed oxford lacing with thin black laces gives a clean, close fit across the instep.

Issue Spec And Build

These oxfords are made in the USA to the Army's dress shoe specification, which is why they are cut and finished the same way as the pairs worn at formations and ceremonies. The outsole is fully stitched, the heel is a separate stacked block, and the shoe is light for a welted dress oxford. If you need the correct issue shoe for a uniform, a reenactment kit or a collection, this is the genuine article.
