Product Description:

Introducing our meticulously handcrafted Derby shoes, a perfect blend of classic style and superior craftsmanship. These shoes are made using the traditional Goodyear welt construction, a hallmark of quality footwear that ensures durability, comfort, and the ability to be resoled for a longer lifespan.

The upper is crafted from premium horse leather, known for its rich texture and durability. This leather undergoes a unique hand-washing process that imparts a distinctive aged look, with natural scuffs and character that enhance its vintage appeal. Inside, the shoes are lined with soft cowhide leather, providing a luxurious, breathable environment for your feet, while the leather insoles conform to your foot’s shape for a custom-like fit.

The Goodyear welted leather sole is the standout feature of these shoes, offering exceptional durability and the possibility of easy resoling. This traditional construction method involves stitching the leather upper, insole, and sole together with a leather welt, creating a robust and water-resistant bond. The heel height of 3.3 cm offers just the right amount of lift, and the upper height of 6.5 cm ensures a secure and comfortable fit around the ankle.

The Goodyear welt construction not only adds to the shoe's longevity but also allows for better insulation and support, making these shoes ideal for all-day wear. The meticulous attention to detail, including the hand-stitched brogue patterns and the intentionally aged elements like rusted nails and uneven edges, further exemplifies the artistry involved in creating these timeless shoes.
