Great quality but ran large for me
"Ordered a US10 but fit more like a 10. 5 or 11. Great quality shoe by looks of it but will have to try a size down. Lucky refund and returns were easy and quick to manage"
The Stark in Brown is about as dressy as a brown shoe gets. A rich, warm brown with a subtle burnish to the leather, it's a true wholecut oxford, cut with no toe cap and no broken seams, the most formal shape an oxford comes in. Made in Italy, it's a brown dress shoe for weddings and any event with a proper dress code, a rare find in a wholecut this dressy. Find it in our brown oxford shoes range.
Wear them with a grey suit for the races, or tan chinos and a fine knit when you want it a notch down. The leather sole is understated, its underside hand-painted in the Aquila signature blue, with a leather lining that keeps the inside as considered as the outside. The kind of pair you keep for years, not seasons. Discover our Italian-made shoes or the wider D'ORO collection.

Good leather rewards attention. Rotate between wears to protect the structure, and use a neutral or colour-appropriate polish from our Shoe Care collection to clean, nourish and maintain the finish. Keep away from prolonged moisture and dry naturally away from direct heat. Always wear socks to protect the lining. For a full routine, visit our Shoe Care Guide.

"Wonderful quality. Leather soles need scuffing up with sandpaper to help wear in, but that’s true with all leather soles. Very happy with the purchase."
"Love the craftmanship and the leather used not only for the top layer, but also the sole as well! Very sleek! Small note is to select smaller sizes, as I find Aquila's size run large."
"Stylish and modern and comfortable"
