Dark brown split-toe Derby

A shoe Deep and sturdy

You can’t look your best without the right shoes. Worn with light-coloured trousers, these dark brown derbies add the weight and depth that anchor the whole outfit. Their split-toe stitching gives them character, whilst their military-style sole makes them ready to tackle the season’s wet ground.

 

In summary,

The shoe that completes the outfit, just right. Crafted from dark brown leather with a subtle burnished finish that gives it its patina, it is recognisable by its central split-toe stitching and sits on a military-style sole perfect for autumn.

Features

The leather

A deep, dark brown leather, with a light burnishing that subtly darkens the edges to create texture and a patina. A warm colour that balances out lighter-coloured trousers.

The design

The split-toe stitching defines the toe of the shoe and gives it a bold character, ideal for a late-season outfit. The colour treatment at the edges gives the leather a vibrant depth, which only improves with age.

The sole

A sturdy, lugged military-style sole, equally at home on wet cobblestones as on a wooden floor, lined on the inside with dark brown leather. The centre seam defines the shoe’s look: classic enough for a suit, yet distinctive enough to make a style statement. A lugged sole and rich leather: a Derby designed for the rain and damp autumn ground, without compromising on elegance.
