The Derby is widely considered the most popular type of men’s shoe in the world. Unlike the Oxford, which is known for its closed lacing, the Derby features open lacing, making it ideal for men with high insteps. Further distinguishing features include the quarters stitched onto the vamp. In some cases, as with this sewn-welted model, a toe cap seam is added to accentuate the shoe’s classic design.Wholly handcrafted, this shoe features a shaft made from gleaming box calf and a premium leather outsole by Rendenbach. This cap-toe Derby represents the pinnacle of masterful shoemaking, and its various luxurious properties guarantee extraordinary wearing comfort and outstanding durability for this men’s shoe. Men who wear these types of timeless, classic shoes need to take good care of them — so that they can enjoy their sophisticated footwear for a great deal of time, and so like-minded connoisseurs can recognize them by their footwear.
