Florsheim Medfield

The Florsheim Medfield is a plain-toe derby dress shoe. Its open-lacing design gives it a slightly less formal look than a closed-lace Oxford.

The model is described as having a genuine leather build. Buyers should still check the exact listing for the upper, lining, and sole materials because construction can vary by production version.

Its plain-toe derby shape and understated styling make it suitable for many office dress codes. The open lacing also gives it more flexibility for wider feet than a narrow formal Oxford.

The key difference is the lacing: the Medfield is a derby with open lacing, while a traditional Oxford uses closed lacing. That makes the Medfield look a little more relaxed and easier to adjust across the instep.
