Men's Suede Lace Up Derby Shoes, Moc Toe, Cupsole

Suede derby shoe with a moc-toe apron seam, two-eyelet lacing and a rubber cupsole

Two eyelets and an open-throat derby facing give this shoe a low, clean line at the instep. The apron runs forward from the throat and is joined with a raised moccasin seam that wraps the toe. The quarters are cut high enough to hold the heel without a padded collar, and the interior shows a smooth tan lining. A pale rubber cupsole lifts the whole shoe out of formal territory and puts it closer to a trainer in feel.

Features

• Closure: Two-eyelet lacing with round laces

• Toe: Moc toe with a raised apron seam

• Facing: Open-throat derby, sitting low on the instep

• Lining: Smooth tan lining and footbed

• Sole: Pale rubber cupsole with a stitched-look edge

• Upper: Suede, unstructured through the quarters

Texture & Finish

Suede with a short, dense nap that shifts tone as it turns in the light. The apron seam and the eyestay stitching are the only detailing on an otherwise plain upper, and the cupsole edge is smooth and matte.

Fit & Sizing

Cut on a regular last with a slightly tapered toe. The open derby facing gives a little extra room over a higher instep. Take your usual size; refer to the size chart for the UK to EU conversion.

Styling & Occasion

A good bridge shoe: they hold up with chinos and an unstructured blazer at the office, and work just as well with jeans at the weekend. The pale sole makes them a natural summer-wedding option when a polished shoe feels too heavy.

Care

• Brush regularly with a suede brush to lift the nap
• Spray with a suede protector before wearing
• Lift marks with a suede eraser rather than water
• Store with shoe trees to hold the toe shape
