Men's and women's leather derby and oxford shoes
The derbies and lace-up shoes for men and women include smooth or grained leather derbies, lace-up boat shoes, and derbies with thick soles.
The derby, with open pans, easily fits a high instep, like the Kleman or Clarks models; the richelieu, with closed lacing, complements the most formal outfits.
Derbies Kleman : Padror and Major
The derbies Kleman, from the French brand, offer the Kleman Padror and Kleman Major, in leather. These leather derbies can be worn with raw jeans or chinos.
Lace-up boat shoes : Sebago Docksides, TBS Phenis and Aigle
The selection also includes lace-up boat shoes : boat shoes Sebago Docksides and Ranger, from the American brand founded in Maine, leather boat shoes TBS Phenis, from the French brand, and boat shoes Aigle Tarmak.
Women's derbies : Odaje, Buffalo, Pikolinos and Martinelli
The women's derbies range from the derby in grained leather Odaje Romane, in an open version, to the derby Buffalo Gospher, on a platform sole and made of vegan material, to derbies Pikolinos in leather, from the brand in Elche, and the derby Martinelli Empire. The derby with a platform adds height to a smart-casual outfit.
City derbies and oxfords : Clarks, Geox and Camper
The derbies Clarks, from the British brand, the derbies Geox, from the Italian brand, and the derbies Camper, from the Majorcan brand, complete the selection with city shoes for the office and outings.
Derby or oxford : the difference to choose well
On the oxford, the flaps are sewn under the vamp: the lacing stays closed and the shoe looks slimmer. On the derby, they are sewn on top: the flaps open up, the fit is wider and easier to adjust. For a dark suit, go with the oxford; for jeans or chinos, choose the derby.
Men's and women's derbies
The men's derbies and oxfords feature Kleman, Sebago, TBS and Pikolinos, and the women's derbies and oxfords Odaje, Buffalo and Martinelli, for a derby for men or women in their size.
Suede derbies, brown derbies and silver derbies
The suede derbies, more casual than smooth leather, go well with jeans and a jumper. Brown or cognac derbies match with beige and navy blue, black derbies with dark outfits. Silver or gold derbies brighten up a black outfit, and blue derbies provide a change from brown.
Cheap derbies : special offers, new arrivals and Black Friday
Cheap derbies can be found in the special shoe offers, and the new shoe arrivals showcase the latest leather models. At the end of November, the Black Friday shoes lowers the prices of Kleman derbies and Sebago boat shoes. Fast delivery and best price guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions about derbies and oxfords
How to lace derbies?
Straight lacing, with parallel bars, gives the neatest line; crossed lacing holds the foot better for walking. Tighten enough so the heel doesn't slip, but not so much that it crushes the instep.
Can you wear derbies with jeans?
Yes, that's actually their territory: a brown leather derby or one with a thick sole works with raw jeans or chinos. The derby with jeans should be worn with a hem that just falls over the shoe.
How to care for smooth leather shoes?
Dust them off, apply a cream the same colour as the leather, let it soak in, then buff with a soft cloth. Wooden shoe trees, placed in after every wear, maintain the shape and absorb moisture.
How to match the colour of your derbies?
Brown goes with navy blue, grey, beige and jeans; black with dark suits. The belt should be the same shade as the shoes: a derby in brown calls for a brown belt.
What size to choose for derbies?
Take your usual size: the derby, due to its open panels, adjusts with the lacing. The heel shouldn't slip when you walk and the toe should leave a little space in front of the big toe; if in between sizes, a half size up with an insole corrects the gap.
