Do these cap toe oxfords look right?

Just bought these from meermin and the laces look a little odd? Plus I had to use a shoehorn to get them on so I was just curious

Not enough space for your instep. The lacing area should be a much narrower V on oxfords.

Probably need to go up in width and not length You may have better luck with grant stone or AE as they both offer wides.

Fwiw, the widest part of your foot should line up with the widest part of the shoe. Have you been measured on a brannock device? That’ll help you get a baseline size to start from

I’ll have to use a brannock device, thanks guys. Allen Edmonds or Grant Stone is the question now

I much prefer GS, but if you’re looking for slightly sleeker stuff, go AE (But only on sale. Don’t spring for MSRP) ((Also don’t buy AE’s sneaker-dress-shoe-hybrids))
