Looking for a classic PLAIN oxford

I've seen these on occasion around town, but not sure of what the shoe is called. It looks like a basic, plain oxford, but slim across the top and with a rounder toe than a dress shoe. Something I'd want as a durable, plain walking shoe for about town. The kind of thing you'd see on more working-class characters in old films or illustrations.

Not necessarily describing it perfectly, but that's the best I can figure out. If anyone has links or images, that'd be really helpful.

TIA

PS Yes, I've done the requisite searches, etc., but since I'm not quite sure how to describe it, I'm making a poor showing in the search box.

I think there is a Ralph Lauren made in Italy on grapevinehill that fits your description.
