The popular lace-up dress shoe has a rich history in England, where it was known to be worn on campus at the University of Oxford in the 1800s. The shoe has many possible origin stories, with one even relating to the royal family. Prince Albert is said to have worn lace-up boots to go hunting at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, an innovative footwear choice at the time.
