The KG Kurt Geiger Josh Oxford shoes are designed for the discerning individual seeking classic, elegant formal footwear.

The KG Kurt Geiger Josh Oxford shoes excel in formal and professional environments, providing a polished and distinguished appearance. They are ideal for:

Special Occasions: An excellent choice for weddings, galas, formal dinners, award ceremonies, and other celebratory events where elegant attire is expected.

Maintaining Appearance: With regular care, these shoes maintain their deep black luster and classic shape, ensuring you always look your best.
Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging and inspect them.
First Fit: Try them on indoors with the type of dress socks you typically wear. Walk around briefly to assess the fit and feel.
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight, allowing for comfortable movement without pinching.
These Oxford shoes are designed to pair seamlessly with formal attire.
Best Suited For: Business suits, tuxedos, dress trousers, and other tailored ensembles.
Less Compatible With: Jeans, shorts, sportswear, or overly casual chinos due to their refined aesthetic.
Regular Cleaning: After each wear, wipe down the shoes with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Conditioning: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months (or more frequently with heavy use) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracking.
Polishing: Use a high-quality black shoe polish regularly to restore shine, cover minor scuffs, and provide an additional layer of protection. Buff to a desired luster with a soft brush or cloth.
Shoe Trees: Insert cedar shoe trees immediately after each wear. They help absorb moisture, maintain the shoe's original shape, and prevent creasing.
Proper Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in the provided shoe bags, to protect them from dust and scratches. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Weather Protection: While durable, avoid wearing in heavy rain or snow. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
