Moreschi shoes are traditionally comfortable: we recommend choosing one size smaller than your usual size

Leicester Calf is a men's brogue Oxford in black calfskin, built with Goodyear welt construction. It brings the decorative richness of brogue detailing — the floral punching on the toe cap and the swallow-tail decoration — to the formal shoe, while maintaining an impeccable structure and a silhouette that requires no updating because it simply does not age.

The smooth, compact calfskin draws attention to the precision of the decorative perforations: every brogue element is worked with clean definition. Goodyear welt construction, creating a channel between upper and sole, delivers cushioning, structural robustness and the ability to be resoled — qualities that make Leicester a genuine long-term investment in footwear. The leather sole closes the model with the profile appropriate to its category.

Leicester is the perfect shoe for ceremonies, formal occasions and a permanent wardrobe. It pairs with tailored wool suits, dark formal attire and any context where footwear is expected to carry authority.

Leicester is an English city with a history stretching back to Roman times — layers of time stacked on top of one another, each with its own solidity. A shoe that carries that kind of presence: understated, rooted, impossible to overlook

For a formal Oxford without brogue decoration, the same level of construction is found in Moreschi's Lancaster Calf.

Care

Calfskin is the leather most used across the Moreschi collection: compact, durable and capable of taking a precise, lasting polish. Unlike more porous leathers, it responds well to wax and improves with a consistent maintenance routine applied over time.

For regular care:
1. Brush regularly with the Moreschi Wood Brush with horsehair bristles, or wipe with a soft cloth, to remove dust and surface dirt before applying any product.
2. Apply the Moreschi Leather Polishing Wax — Neutral for light-coloured or new leather, Black, Dark Brown or Dark Blue to revive a specific tone — working it in with circular, even strokes. Allow to absorb for a few minutes.
3. Buff with a clean cloth to achieve a rich, even shine. For precise application along the welt and stitching, use the Moreschi Wood Brush with horsehair bristles.
4. Store in a dry, ventilated environment away from direct light, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to preserve shape and allow the leather to breathe.

Calfskin shoes that incorporate exotic leathers — e.g. ostrich, ostrich leg or tejus — require separate care protocols for each surface. To avoid treating the exotic sections incorrectly, we recommend consulting a specialist cobbler directly: they can identify the right products for each material and work safely across both.

For specific repairs on plain calfskin — deep scratches, abrasions or restoration work — consult a professional leather care specialist.

Goodyear construction

Widely regarded as the most prestigious technique in men’s shoemaking, the Goodyear construction features a double stitching process: the first secures the welt to the upper, while the second attaches the welt—now an integral part of the upper—to the leather outsole.

This complex and robust structure ensures outstanding durability, water resistance, and long-term performance. A Goodyear welted shoe is more than footwear—it is a timeless symbol of craftsmanship and elegance.
