The Beaverbrook (U.K.) Gold Bond Shoe in Oxblood
The Beaverbrook Gold Bond shoe in oxblood is a traditional English cap-toe Oxford, created for the most formal occasions yet versatile enough to become an essential part of any distinguished wardrobe. Handcrafted in Northampton, England, by a shoemaker established in the 19th century, it features Goodyear-welted construction, a natural leather sole, full leather lining and a layer of cork filling that gradually conforms to the wearer. These time-honoured elements reflect the highest standards of traditional shoemaking, delivering exceptional quality, comfort and longevity. The cap-toe Oxford is among the most enduring designs in men’s footwear. It has remained appropriate for generations and will never fall out of style. Equally at home in the boardroom, at a wedding or with formal evening attire, it is the essential all-purpose formal shoe. Its simplicity is its strength. The Beaverbrook Gold Bond shoe in oxblood communicates confidence, sophistication and a considered understanding of style. Gold Bond is a historic Hartt mark first used in Canada in 1909 and has been revived to commemorate the return of Hartt’s English-made collection. The shoe bears an original Gold Bond stamp drawn from the archives of an English shoemaker that once shared a parent company with Hartt. The Beaverbrook name honours Lord Beaverbrook, one of the most legendary figures to call New Brunswick home and an enduring part of the province’s history. Beginning in 2026, the Beaverbrook name identifies this new line of English-made Gold Bond footwear. It is distinct from the earlier Beaverbrook Oxford produced from 2016 to 2025. All dress shoes come with a pair of Hartt premium cedar Split-Toe shoe trees included.
