{"product_id":"mens-derby-oxford-leather-shoes","title":"Mens Suede Apron Toe Derby Shoes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eYou press a thumb into the nap before you lace up, and the suede shifts from tan to bronze and back again.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair waits on the rush seat by the door, wooden trees still in the throats. Suede does not shine back at you the way a polished dress shoe does. It reads matte, a little dusty in the light, and the colour moves with the direction you brushed it last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook down at the lacing and you can see what the shoe actually is. The two lace panels are stitched on top of the vamp and pull apart in a V, each one finishing in a small pointed tip sewn flat to the front. Four eyelets a side, the tongue running on from the vamp in one piece, a raised seam curving from the throat around the toe. Underneath, a low stacked heel and a black rubber outsole studded with round lugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen derby lacing\u003c\/strong\u003e The lace panels sit over the vamp rather than under it, so the throat opens wide.

Good with unstructured trousers, chinos, dark denim. Good for a high instep that fights closed lacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDerby architecture is the whole point, and the old title got it backwards by claiming both. An oxford tucks its lace panels under the vamp so the front closes flat and formal. A derby lays them on top so they swing open. This is the second one, and the suede pushes it further from the boardroom: matte nap, apron seam, rubber studs instead of a leather sole. It is a dress shape you can walk to the station in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e cowhide suede upper; cowhide lining; rubber outsole with round studs; apron toe with raised seam; four eyelet open derby lacing; low stacked heel; sizes EU 38 to 44; two colours, Brown and Dark brown; ships as one pair with a shoe box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst week, the suede sits stiff across the apron seam and the heel counter holds firm. Lace them loosely for the first few wears and let the throat find your instep. The V opens far enough that you can slip in without unpicking the knot once you have the tension you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the season they take the weather better than a slick soled dress shoe. The studded rubber grips a wet kerb, and the low heel means no wobble on a cobbled street. The nap will flatten at the flex point across the toe. A soft brush against the grain lifts it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage is where suede repays you. Keep the trees in overnight so the apron does not crease into a permanent fold, keep the pair out of direct sun so the Brown does not fade patchy, and brush the dust off before it settles into the nap rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these oxfords or derbys?\u003c\/strong\u003e Derbys. The old title said both, which cannot be true of one shoe. The lace panels are stitched on top of the vamp and open in a V, which is the derby build. An oxford would have them sewn underneath, closing flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the upper real leather?\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplier lists a cowhide upper and a cowhide lining, so yes, cow leather. The finish is suede, the napped side of the hide, not a polished full grain. No grade beyond cowhide is specified, so that is as far as we will go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they add height?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The supplier sheet mentions a heightening design, and the photos do not support it. What you see is a low stacked heel with no platform and no internal lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the wooden shoe trees included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. They are styling in the photos. The packing list is one pair of shoes and one shoe box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 480px; width: 100%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eShoe type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eMen's derby, open lacing, apron toe\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eUpper\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eCowhide, suede nap finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eCowhide\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eRubber, round stud lugs on forefoot and heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eHeel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eLow stacked block heel, no platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eToe\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eApron toe with raised seam, tapered almond shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eFour eyelet lace-up, waxed round laces fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eEU 38 to 44\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eBrown (camel), Dark brown (chocolate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eOne pair and one shoe box.
