Can these boots be subbed for black Oxfords?
Mainly wondering about the whole-cut style. Imo seems kinda weird, but wondering what yall think?

TwoThreeOne.Noir Wholecut Derby Boots from Russian Reindeer
This seven-eyelet derby boot is built on our Sailor last, from one single piece of leather and lasted entirely by hand. Noir is made from one of the bovine leathers produced by the American tannery Horween, called Russian Reindeer and embossed with a hatch grain pattern.The boots feature dark brown calf leather lining,

Not strictly. The leather has a texture to it, there’s a contrasting midsole, and it uses blucher constructed. I’d wear it in lieu of black derby’s or bluchers, with a more casual suit or odd trousers.
Smooth would be better?
Yes, insofar as you’re trying to fill the same niche as black oxfords. Smooth leather is generally more formal than textured.
When would you wear derbies or bluchers? Or just casual suit/odd trousers as you said?
Depends on the derby or blucher! I don’t wear a lot of black outside of with a suit, but these I’d wear with anything dressier than jeans.
You can certainly wear a dressy derby with a suit
Alright, thanks yall
