    The central question on formality is, for each individual, could you wear both shoes into the most formal event you are likely to engage. For me, both of these would work. It’s also likely that the Balmoral Oxford is already in one’s wardrobe when most then get a whole cut Oxford.

    You’re 1000% wrong tradition doesn’t mean caca. It’s a mixture of the elegant and the finest quality which the whole Oxford has the most of both. The one you liked is it made out of scraps of leather patches, probably different cows at best. But, you can be forgiven, obviously you’re young not too dumb and probably full of….rum (what did your dirty mind think I was gonna say?) Plus I’m 60. I know better, so don’t argue with the salty n pepper grey ol goat. ✌️👍🏻👞
