Leather Oxford Shoes

I bought these specifically to use with morning dress and as a replacement for a long lasting pair that had finally given up the ghost after 20 years and much resoling. I anticipated having to beak them in over a few weeks but I am impressed by the fact that I could put them straight on and they do not need breaking in at all.

Great quality shoe, very comfortable and value for money

An excellent, well made pair of shoes. HOWEVER - there was a crease on the leather on the outside of the left shoe. I don't know how they got through quality control with this particular flaw, as it was uppermost in the box when it arrived. This is a similar experience to one already posted. I shall order another pair in the hope this was a glitch, but it is a little disconcerting.

The shoes themselves are perfect and very reasonably priced. But the ones I received from M&S contained a large and obvious scar on the leather of one of them. Had to be returned. I am starting to suspect that M&S deliberately select unacceptable items for online orders in the hope many will not bother returning them. Really awful and part of a sad decline in standards and quality over the years.
