It was known in the trade as a 'closed tab shoe' because the eyelet tabs (the sections of leather with holes for the laces) were stitched under the front section of the shoe, or vamp,  rather than on top of it. \r\n\r\nUsually Oxfords were made up in plain black or brown leather for everyday wear.  British footwear fashions were conservative during the 1920s with strict rules dictating what shoe could be worn with which outfit.  Brown shoes with a dinner suit were frowned upon and any kind of flamboyance was considered distasteful.  This racy red and silver shoe was made for display at the London International Shoe Fair in 1925 and may have been aimed at the American market which was open to more exotic designs.","physicalDescription":"Man's Oxford lace-up shoe; red leather decorated with applied geometric and swirling strips of silver leather at vamp, quarters, backstap and facing; cut-work on the toe-cap reveals silver leather beneath; red leather tongue pointed at top, six pairs of eyelets, red cord laces; stacked heel wheeled at join with sole, upper edge of sole painted silver; brown leather insole; sole and upper stitched with yellow thread.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Coxton Shoe Co.
