Rothco Soft Sole Uniform Oxford/Leather Shoe

waterproof

My shoes are exposed to caustic Skydrol hydraulic fluid, de-ice fluid of various types and jet fuel, not to mention routine doses of standing water when I'm out inspecting the plane before flight.

Having said that, I need to replace them because the shoe uppers are now cracked and peeling and allow my feet to get wet.

blisters tend to develop in a wet environment, even if I powder my feet.

damage

The uppers are starting to crack so its time to retire them with the same shoe as replacement.

The leather is Chinese crap, it wrinkles oddly when the shoe is flexed, indicative of the junk leather from China Ive received in the past that cracks or peels.

stiff

They are stiff and will require breaking in.

They were a bit tight and stiff at first (bought a 12R)

genuine-leather

cheap leather
I got these for the occasions I do American Legion Ceremonies.

but the leather looks like it could take a shine if you wanted.

shoe tongue

The tongue of the shoe likes to rub the top of the foot oddly, not comfortable.

dress shoe

Perfect for the professional
I work in 'Close Executive/Celebrity Protection' and am not a fan of wearing dress shoes with my suit as they don't offer the ability to sprint or move the way I like in a tactical situation (not that things get crazy or anything).

The Rothco Oxford offers a professional look with the ability to move with better ease that a traditional dress shoe sole does not offer.

sole grip

First of all, let me preface this review by saying, I am a Chef in a commercial kitchen and these shoes slip-resistant sole works well in a wet an oily environment.

sole

6 years of constant use and the soles have hardly any wear!

The look great (better than the photo on the listing) and they were comfortable from the minute I put them on.I did pull the padded insole out and replaced it with GI ventilated insoles because I prefer them.

They have excellent foot support and the soles show only the slightest wear.

wear

I purchased them in December of 2013 and they have been worn 6 days a week every week since.

information

They have served me well and they are about $10.00 cheaper now than when I first purchased them.They are advertised as having leather uppers; if that is so, then there is a very thin veneer of leather over something else.

small-size

My only gripe with the shoe is that it was too small.

I’m usually a 9.5-10 shoe size and the 10 was too small.

size

In fact I ordered a similar shoe from another company and it was clear that the size 10 here was more like a size 9.

purchase

So be very careful if you purchase these shoes! !

inexpensive

Cheap crap
Hard to find good spectator shoes.

these are cheap and made of a plastic-y, shiny fake leather.

comfortable

The only down side was that they were a little stiff and snug.

Honest to God, probably one of the best pair of dress shoes that I have ever owned!

It’s amazing because I really do love the bottom of them and how they have a grip texture and they’re not flat surface, more of a boot texture/look!

girlfriend

My girlfriend squealed when she saw them.

interior

professional

The finish was glossy, clean, and professional.

The sole will wear down at the balls of your foot and since the shoes are inexpensive, getting them re-soled doesnt make sense for me.

Rubber sole would have been a better description than manmade sole, and i have the hope that black borders and brown pads don't become a problem.

rubber sole

My Favorite Dress Shoe
I have wore this shoes over the years for Special occasions, and they are my favorite shoes.

Another bonus for those in the snow/rain is the traction on the sole.

Style
I just love the fit, the color and the look of these shoes.

After that it fit and wears like all the rest of my Stacy Adams shoes, very comfortable.

Nice looking and comfortable once broken in.

but the wear in and last a year wearing a few times a week.
