Not every oxford needs to announce itself. The Florsheim Lexington Plain Toe Oxford in Black is built for the man who wants a dress shoe that simply works - clean, versatile, and light enough underfoot that a full day in it doesn't feel like a full day. It carries forward a Chicago shoemaking tradition dating to 1892, when Milton Florsheim built his name on the belief that comfort and craftsmanship belonged in the same shoe.
The genuine black leather upper keeps the plain-toe silhouette deliberately understated, while synthetic and textile linings help keep the shoe lightweight without sacrificing structure. A fully cushioned footbed adds comfort through long days, and the Lexington's real differentiator sits underneath: a durable Toflex light sole with a rubber tap, engineered specifically for added flexibility and a noticeably lighter step than a traditional leather-soled oxford.
It's the oxford built for travel days, long shifts, and anyone who wants a shoe that looks equally at home with a suit or a pair of jeans - proof that comfort-forward construction doesn't have to mean giving up a sharp, classic silhouette.
Available in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, sizes 8-13.
FAQs
Is the Florsheim Lexington Plain Toe Oxford true to size?
The Lexington fits true to size for most customers. It's offered in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, so if you typically need extra room through the forefoot, select the wide width rather than sizing up.
What is the Toflex sole, and how is it different from a standard rubber or leather sole?
Toflex is Florsheim's lightweight sole construction, built with a rubber tap for added flexibility. Compared to a traditional leather sole or a heavier rubber outsole, it's noticeably lighter underfoot, making the Lexington a good option for travel or long days on your feet.
Does the Lexington Oxford come in other colors?
Currently, Black is the only colorway offered for this style. Availability can change seasonally, so it's worth checking back if you're looking for a different tone in this particular silhouette.
Can the Lexington Oxford be worn casually, or is it strictly a dress shoe?
It's built to do both. The plain-toe silhouette and genuine leather upper keep it sharp enough for a suit, while the lightweight Toflex sole and cushioned footbed make it comfortable enough to wear with jeans or chinos for a smart-casual look.
What material is the Lexington Oxford made from?
The upper is genuine leather, with synthetic and textile linings that help keep the shoe lightweight. The footbed is fully cushioned, and the sole is a durable Toflex light construction with a rubber tap.
How do I care for a leather oxford like this one?
Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove surface dust, and use a quality leather conditioner or polish periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Because the sole is a lighter synthetic-and-rubber construction rather than genuine leather, it doesn't require the same rotation and drying time some heavier dress shoes do.
