Oxfords: Oxfords typically have a slim profile, a low heel, and a closed lacing system, which contributes to their formal appearance. The intricate detailing, such as broguing or cap-toe designs, further sets oxfords apart from other types of shoes.

Loafers: Loafers are distinguished by their laceless design, low-cut profile, and moccasin-like construction. They often have a low heel, allowing for easy slip-on wear, and their upper may include unique details such as decorative stitching, tassels., or metal accents.
