RED WING (Red Wing) 101 《POSTMAN OXFORD / Postman Oxford》 ABOUT Postman Oxford In the United States, shoes for public servants who wear uniforms, such as military personnel, police officers, and postal workers, are called service shoes. The Postman Oxford 101 was released in 1954 as one of these service shoes. At the time of its release, it was marketed as "shoes for policemen, postmen, and station officers," but it was adopted by the USPS (United States Postal Service), and postal workers across the country began to wear them, earning the nickname "Postman Shoes." This shoe was supported by postal workers because it combined design and functionality at a high level. It featured a formal shape that matched uniforms, leather with a refined luster that was also resistant to rain, and a sole that made it easy to walk long distances. In particular, the adoption of a thick, soft rubber sole with excellent cushioning on a smart black shoe was groundbreaking. This sole absorbed shocks much better than the conventional sole, which had a separate heel, and reduced the burden on the feet, making it the shoe that postmen, who walked long distances every day with heavy bags full of mail on their shoulders, had been waiting for. This balance of design and functionality continues to appeal to modern users. It can be applied to both business-like attire and dressed-down casual styles, and it is a shoe that is versatile and easy to wear even when walking actively around town. That's why it continues to be loved without change even now, about 70 years after its release. The size notation is US9.5, which is approximately 27.5cm. The condition is used, and there are scratches and minor imperfections due to use. There is also some wear on the soles, but they can still be used. There are no accessories such as a box or spare laces. * Please note that the shoe trees in the photo are not included.
