Is the Dockers Fairborne Oxford real leather?

No. The upper is faux leather with a rubber outsole.

How does the Fairborne fit?

It is a medium-width lace-up that most buyers take in their usual size; the slip-on design makes it forgiving once laced.

Can I wear it in the rain?

It is not waterproof. The synthetic upper and breathable lining suit dry, mild weather better than wet days.

Is $39.99 a good price?

Yes. At $39.99 at Target as of November 7, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range across the three stores that price it new.

Is it dressy enough for an office?

It works for business casual. The oxford shape reads smarter than a sneaker, but the rubber sole keeps it casual.

Our take on the Dockers Men's Fairborne Oxford

The Dockers Fairborne Oxford is a men's casual lace-up shoe in faux leather with a rubber outsole, sold in sand and black.

At $39.99 at Target as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with three stores pricing it new.
