Some shoes are made to be worn. The Florsheim Imperial Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford is made to be kept. It sits at the top of Florsheim's Imperial collection - the line reserved for the finest leathers and the most exacting construction the brand offers - and carries forward a Chicago shoemaking tradition that dates to 1892, when Milton Florsheim first built his name on the idea that comfort and craftsmanship belonged together.
The classic long wingtip silhouette is finished with genuine pinking and perfing - the decorative punched and serrated leather detailing that separates a true brogue from an imitation. The black calfskin upper is soft and supple, lined entirely in leather for comfort and breathability. But the real distinction is underneath: a classic genuine double leather sole, built with authentic Goodyear welt construction, meaning this shoe isn't discarded when the sole eventually wears - it's professionally resoled, and worn for another decade.
This is the shoe for the man who never settles for anything but the very best - the pair that anchors a wardrobe rather than rotating through it, and earns its place in a closet for years, not seasons.
Available in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, sizes 8-14.
FAQs
Is the Florsheim Imperial Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford true to size?
The Kenmoor fits true to size for most customers. It's offered in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, so if you typically need extra room, select the wide width rather than sizing up.
What does Goodyear welt construction mean, and why does it matter?
Goodyear welting is a method of stitching the upper, insole, and outsole together around a welt strip rather than gluing them, which is what allows this shoe to be professionally resoled rather than replaced when the sole eventually wears down - a hallmark of genuinely built-to-last dress shoes.
Is black the most versatile colorway in the Kenmoor line?
Yes - black is the traditional choice for formal and business wear, and pairs with virtually any suit or sport coat, making it the standard starting point for a first pair of Imperial-level wingtips.
Is the Kenmoor Wingtip appropriate for business or formal wear?
Yes. As part of Florsheim's Imperial collection, the Kenmoor is built and finished to the standard of a true formal dress shoe - appropriate for business, black-tie-adjacent events, and any occasion that calls for the finest in a man's shoe closet.
What material is the Kenmoor Wingtip made from?
The upper is calfskin leather, lined in leather for breathability and comfort. The sole is a classic genuine double leather sole, built with Goodyear welt construction for durability and resoleability.
How do I care for a Goodyear-welted calfskin wingtip like this one?
Wipe down after wear with a soft, dry cloth, and polish periodically with a quality black leather cream or wax to maintain shine and condition the leather. Because the sole is genuine leather rather than rubber, rotate this pair with at least one other so the sole has time to fully dry between wears, and use cedar shoe trees to help the shoe hold its shape.
