Balmorals are oxford shoes that features a v-shape lacing system, also called closed lacing, in which the quarters of the shoe meet evenly with no flap. Balmorals are considered dress shoes and are traditionally constructed using high quality leather. Balmorals can have a plain toe or cap toe style; however, they are most frequently found featuring a wingtip style.
Florsheim Markham Lack of Sole

I find the sole on this shoe to be lacking. It hould have more heft and depth to it. Also, the heal pad is wearing out very very quickly and will need to be replaced with a better quality pad. Other than that i do like the appearance of this shoe.

When I heard that a friend and co-worker from church mistakenly left a pair of black wingtips at his hotel on a recent trip with his wife, I knew that I had a great opportunity to give a gift of appreciation that would be a big surprise. After finding out his shoe size from his wife, I placed the order from ShoeBuy.com.Within a week my friend found an unexpected box on his porch from Johnston & Murphy. He was blown away. He says that these are the nicest shoes he has ever owned. This is saying a lot about these shoes because, as long as I have known him, he has always been a sharp dresser.I knew that he would appreciate the beauty and quality of these shoes.

Black balmoral cap-toe oxford that is beautiful, fits correctly, and is well made. If you can only have one black dress shoe, this is the one you need. Great for everyday use with suits and dress pants, yet also formal enough for a tuxedo. Sweet!
