What is a Derby shoe?

A Derby is a lace-up shoe with an open lacing system. This gives more room over the instep and creates a slightly more relaxed appearance than an Oxford while remaining elegant.

When should I choose a Derby over an Oxford?

Choose a Derby if you want more comfort over the instep or a slightly less formal look. Derbies work well with tailored trousers, chinos and refined casual outfits.

Can Derby shoes be resoled?

Heritage Derbies with Goodyear welt construction are designed to allow resoling. Professional maintenance helps extend the life of the shoes while preserving the upper.
