The Phillips is a unique "tarsal brogue" oxford, so called because of the addition of the leather strap on top of the tarsal bones of the foot, between the lacing and the toe cap. Thepattern of this oxford makesfor a bold and uncommon shoe, and thankfully "bold"workswonderfully with tailoring! This is certainly not a classic business style, but is nevertheless a great way to addedge into an outfit while still looking your best.
