The Serpentine
The Serpentine is a men's Oxford in genuine leather with a printed crocodile finish, sharp at the toe and quiet everywhere else.
THE FORM
The Serpentine is a men's Oxford with a sharp, pointed toe. Its leather carries a printed crocodile finish across the toe and quarters, which gives the shoe its texture without changing its line. Among men's croc-print Oxford shoes, it is the cleaner, more architectural choice, cut for tailoring.
THE MATERIAL
The upper is genuine leather, and the crocodile pattern is printed into its surface, so it reads as a texture rather than a costume. A polished finish brings the colour up at the toe and lets it settle in the creases. The print also hides small scuffs better than smooth leather does.
THE DETAIL
The lacing sits close to the throat, keeping the front of the shoe narrow and neat. A tan leather lining shows at the collar. The rubber sole grips polished floors and wet pavements and keeps the shoe quiet underfoot, and a low heel keeps the stance level and easy over a long day.
THE FIT
Most customers take their usual European size. Between sizes, take the lower for a snug instep and the higher for a wider foot. It comes in European sizes 38 to 47, and we answer sizing questions on WhatsApp before you order.
THE OCCASION
Wear it with a tailored suit for business, with senator wear for a wedding or a dinner, or with smart trousers and a fine knit when the setting is relaxed. The darker colours stay formal; the brighter ones are for evenings and celebrations.
