Derby Shoes

Derby shoes (pronunciation- Daar-bee) are often confused with Oxfords, which are a household name as far as men’s formal shoes are concerned. This shoe is distinctively different and should be a part of your father’s shoe collection. This semi-formal shoe is designed with an open lace pattern and has three categories- cap toe, wingtip and plain top.

The details on the origin of this shoe are somewhat unclear, but some trace them back to the Earl of Derby from the 12^th Century, who also happens to be the man after whom the horseraces are named. Some, however, trace them back to the 14^th Century Earl of Derby. Whoever happens to be the namesake of these shoes, we owe him a great deal of gratitude, for introducing the world to this stellar style of shoes.
