Navy regulations list brown leather shoes as optional for Officers and CPOs (E-7 and above), but you don’t need to be a fashion expert to appreciate just how well these classy Oxfords complement the Service Khaki uniform. Manufactured with Mil-Spec materials, including Navy-certified brown full-grain leather, these timeless classics boast an ultra-lightweight outsole that’s both oil- and slip-resistant, ensuring sound footing wherever duty takes you. A perforated PORON insole and DRILEX lining helps keep your feet dry and cool, and the high-density heel cups offers optimal support while delivering impressive durability.
Brown-leather Oxfords were also the optional footwear worn with the Aviation Working Green uniform, which the Navy discontinued (over considerable protests) when it introduced the Navy Working Uniforms in 2008. Veterans seeking to assemble a uniform that’s both comfortable and which is in compliance with the U.S. Navy uniform regulations in effect during their service will certainly want to add a pair of these shoes to their uniform wardrobe, particularly since they can be "multipurposed" with a variety of older Khaki uniforms and the much-beloved Aviation Working Greens.
