Brogues Women Wide Fit Oxford Black

Will's Vegan Store UK about this product:

Our Wide Fit Oxford Brogues offer an EE width fitting—more generous and accommodating than our standard D width. These brogues are perfect for those seeking extra room without sacrificing style.

Traditional Craftsmanship

• Crafted from Italian vegan leather with 69% bio-based content, our Wide Fit Oxford Brogues feature a full wingtip design with sweeping lines that grace the classic Oxford silhouette. The edges where the pieces are stitched together have been skived for a flush finish, allowing the intricate pattern to flow without interruption. Each detail, from the sawtooth-edged pieces to the fleur-de-lis pattern punctured through the uppers, is designed to create a striking and distinctive appearance.

Distinctive Details

• The toes are burnished with a dark polish that enhances the character of the shoes, while the outsoles feature stitching details and wood-effect 2.5cm heels, coloured to compliment the uppers.

Inside Comforts

• Inside, two types of vegan suede line the shoes, enhancing comfort and breathability. The insoles, made from recycled materials, are designed with stitching details for added flair and are deep and squishy to ensure comfort all day long.

Composition

• Italian vegan leather uppers made with 69% bio-based content: made from plants (cereal crops); contains 69% bio-oil and a viscose (a natural material from eucalyptus trees) backing fabric.This material does still have 31% polyurethane in its composition.
• Vegan suede: made from 100% polyurethane.

Will's Vegan Store launched in 2012 as a vegan shoe company. Since then, they've moved into fashion and other products as well.

The brand continuously reflects on it's operations to see where they can do better. 

Eco-friendly: The majority of items are made from vegan leather alternatives. Some are still plastic-based (PU/PE), but since 2017 they've introduced more biobased and recycled materials into their vegan leather. They have created a sneaker that's fully biodegradable and are certified carbon neutral.

Extra cool is that they have a take back scheme, where you can send back your old shoes to be recycled into outsoles for new Will Vegan's Shoes.

Vegan: As the name suggest, Will's is a completely vegan brand. It's PETA-approved.

Fair & local production: Will's Vegan produces in factories in Portugal and Italy, of which some are part of the Fair Wear Foundation.
