Everything about this product
Real Cowhide
Classic Derby Lace-Ups
A classic derby, a low-top lace-up with a pointed toe cut for business and formal wear. The upper is first-layer cowhide, the strongest cut of the hide, and the lining is breathable pigskin that stays comfortable through a long day. The rubber sole flexes with each step and resists wear on pavement. Black and brown, across sizes 37 to 44.
Ages Well
Cowhide That Ages Well
A dress shoe has to look sharp and survive real wear. The first-layer cowhide takes a polish and ages well, creasing where the foot bends instead of cracking. The pigskin lining keeps the foot from overheating through a full day, and the rubber sole adds the flex and grip a traditional leather sole lacks on a daily commute. An occasional polish keeps it sharp.
Two Colors
Black Or Brown, 37 To 44
The derby comes in black for the strictest dress codes and brown for something warmer, across sizes 37 to 44. The classic cut and pointed toe finish a suit at the office or a formal event, while the low-top height and rubber sole keep it easy enough for daily commuting. One polished leather shoe that carries the day from the meeting room to the walk home.
Why this product
Why This Derby Works
- 1
First Layer Cowhide Upper
The strongest cut of the hide, polished to a deep shine that creases where the foot bends and takes a fresh polish for years of formal wear.
- 2
Breathable Pigskin Lining
A soft pigskin lining sits against the foot and lets it breathe through a full day at the desk, so the shoe stays comfortable from morning to commute.
- 3
Flexible Rubber Sole
A rubber sole flexes with each step and grips pavement far better than a stiff leather sole, with a stacked heel that keeps the dress line clean.
- 4
Classic Derby Lacing
Open derby lacing over a plain rounded toe gives an easy, adjustable fit and the timeless dress shape that reads right with a suit or trousers.
How it works
How To Wear And Care
- 1
Lace With A Suit
Open the derby lacing, slide the foot in, and pull the round laces to set the fit across the foot. The plain toe finishes a dark suit for the office or a formal event.
- 2
Grip The Commute
The flexible rubber sole flexes with each step and grips wet pavement far better than a stiff leather sole, so the pair stays steady on the walk to work and back.
- 3
Dress Up Or Down
Wear the black pair with tailoring and the brown pair with trousers and a shirt or chinos. The clean derby shape reads formal or smart casual with ease.
- 4
Wipe And Polish
Wipe the cowhide with a soft cloth after wear, buff in a matching polish now and then, and rest the pair a day between wears so the leather keeps its shine and shape.
Benefits
What You Get In The Pair
-
Takes A Deep Polish
The first layer cowhide buffs to a deep shine and creases where the foot bends, ageing well instead of cracking across years of formal wear.
-
Cool Through The Day
The breathable pigskin lining sits against the foot and lets it breathe, so the shoe stays comfortable through a full day at the desk or on the move.
-
Steady On Pavement
The flexible rubber sole flexes with each step and grips wet or uneven ground where a smooth leather sole would slip, keeping the commute sure footed.
-
Finishes Any Suit
The classic derby cut and plain toe read right under tailoring, in black for strict dress codes or brown for something a little warmer.
-
Softens To The Foot
Real cowhide eases within the first few wears and moulds to your shape, so the fit gets more comfortable the more you wear the pair.
