If you find a better pair of oxford shoes for the same price as the Beckett Simonon Dean Oxford, you need to let us know. We will buy a closet full of them.

Beckett Simonon specializes in offering premium fashion shoes and boots at far less than what most competitors charge, and we honestly can’t find better at the same prices. This pair of oxfords – our review pair was their Dean Oxford in brown leather – is incredible.

What sets these apart from so many others? Let’s find out…

Beckett Simonon Shoes Command One Third The Price You Normally Pay

Beckett Simonon shoes are handmade, with premium materials sourced from sustainable providers. These shoes are handmade upon ordering and sent to your door in 8 to 12 weeks from the time of your pre-order.

For this, a pair of Dean Oxford shoes from Beckett Simonon will run you $199. While that’s more than you’d pay for, say, Clarks or Skechers (ick) the thing is that most department store shoes are machine-made in China. These are made by hand, in their factories in either Bogota, Colombia or in Oporto, Portugal.

How do they do it?

Beckett-Simonon does runs of particular designs, lasting a month or two. They offer certain select designs, which you pre-order a pair of in your preferred color and size. The shoes are then handmade and shipped to your door.

They don’t carry stock and they don’t sell inventory to retailers. This keeps the cost down by only making the shoes that are ordered rather than making a whole bunch of them and then trying to figure out how to sell the darn things and driving the price up to make up the overhead.

These savings are passed on to you, which is how you can get a pair of handmade leather oxfords for $200 and free shipping.

Beckett Simonon Dean Oxfords Review

So, let us commence with our Beckett Simonon Dean Oxfords review.

These are classic oxford shoes, with a slight heel cap and toe cap stitching. Our review pair was in brown. Their brown leather is rich and deep, a dark brown leather. The shoe leather is full grain calfskin, which is durable so you get years of wear from it but more pliable so they are outlandishly comfortable.

The insoles are full grain leather, making it breathable with good cushioning. The soles are also leather, with a rubber heel cap to give the heel ample support.

They use the Blake stitch for the welt, a rebuildable welt construction that allows for re-soling should it be necessary. This is the standard method for most Italian and European fashion shoes, which gives the shoes lasting durability but also flexibility for comfort. While not as strong as other welt stitch methods (such as the Goodyear welt or McKay lockstitch) you actually don’t want shoes with those welt methods unless you’re actually buying work boots.

They are very comfortable to wear and walk around in.

The beauty of Oxford shoes, including Beckett Simonon Dean Oxfords, is that they go well with basically everything. Pair with slacks or khakis or even a smart pair of quality jeans for a casual look. They pair expertly with a suit as well.

You wouldn’t wear brown shoes during a black-tie event, of course…but these shoes are offered in black. (You can also order them in red/brown Bordeaux or tan if so desired.) Black Dean oxfords, however, would definitely pair with a tuxedo.

A handmade pair of oxfords for $200?! That looks this good? That feels this good? Let us know if there’s anyone else that can offer the same quality. We couldn’t find anyone else in the same class. Head over to Beckett Simonon and grab your pair of Dean Oxfords before they are gone.
