DESCRIPTION
It’s hard to imagine a more classic and timeless shoe than this black Oxford shoe by the brand Engelbrekt. Engelbrekt was a luxury brand produced by the shoemaker J. Pehrsson & Co during the first half of the 20th century. In the late 1940s, men’s shoes began to shift towards a more streamlined design, and this pair was made during this period, sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s. It is built on Engelbrekt's 100 last, one of their most popular lasts. They described it as follows:
"Through its elegant toe shape and well-crafted fit, this shoe, available in several colors and styles, satisfies even the most discerning taste."
The shoes are unused and show no wear other than a few light scratches on the leather sole, likely from someone trying them on at some point. Inside, they feature Engelbrekt’s distinctive logo on the sole and are lined with grey leather, also characteristic of Engelbrekt. They have rubber heels. The shoes come in their original box.

Our range of classic shoes -vintage and contemporary alike - is carefully selected. We carry both completely unused and slightly used pairs, many of them one-of-a-kind. They vary in age - from early 1900s to today. The one thing they all have in common is that they are high quality shoes.
Using good shoe trees is an important part of caring for your quality footwear. The shoe trees serve several functions that together help extend the life of your shoes. The cedar wood effectively absorbs moisture from the shoes, while the design of the shoe trees ensures that the shoes maintain their shape. The pleasantly scented wood also helps to minimise bad odours. We offer a split-toe model that expands once inserted to ensure that the upper leather is stretched sufficiently.
Available in various values and valid for our whole selection of both vintage and new products.
