Richelieu Alaric in patinated leather with pointed toe

Alaric is a patinated leather oxford designed for outfits that require a clean line without being visually too rigid. Its Oxford silhouette, tapered toe, and plain finish make it a dress shoe that is easy to pair with a suit, wool trousers, or more structured chinos. Available in black and mahogany, it covers the needs of both professional wardrobes and more formal occasions.

The upper is made of full-grain cowhide leather, with a patinated finish that gives the color more depth than uniformly smooth leather. The interior combines a pigskin lining and a pigskin insole. The outsole is made of rubber, a relevant choice for easier daily use than with an all-leather sole. The supplier also indicates a wear-resistant function, which we note here as a technical characteristic without attributing unmeasured performance to it.

The construction is glued, with a classic lace-up closure and a low heel under 3 cm. The tapered toe gives the model a dressier presence, particularly suitable for pleated trousers, two-piece suits, and ceremonial silhouettes. The black color offers a sober and formal look; the mahogany highlights the patina work more and works particularly well with navy, gray, beige, or brown tones.

Designed for spring and autumn, Alaric is an interesting option if you are looking for patinated leather oxfords, dressy Oxford shoes, or a ceremonial shoe that can remain versatile after the event. Sizes range from 37 to 46, which also covers a wider range than many dress models. To preserve the finish, dust the leather with a soft cloth, use a suitable care product for patinated smooth leather, and always let the pair dry naturally, away from a direct heat source.
