The "white buck" is an icon of flashy male footwear, and this high quality pair of bucks is a classic example of the style. True to form, the pair is cut in a full-blown oxford brogue pattern with robust perforated design. The name comes from the deerskin, or "buck leather", from which the shoes were traditionally made, although due to its tendency to yellow and its limited supply, "bucks" are more commonly made of sueded cowhide. The use of white leather for the welt (the strip of leather along the top edge of the sole) is an unusual detail which indicates the high quality of these shoes.
