Every step tells a story. For urban professionals who clock 10,000+ steps daily, the wrong footwear isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a productivity killer. Most resort to either stiff dress shoes that sacrifice comfort or orthopedic shoes that scream “medical device.” The Wyatt Oxford rewrites this compromise with full-grain leather sophistication married to podiatrist-approved engineering, proving you needn’t choose between looking polished and feeling supported.
