A classic style, the Derby is considered an evolution of the Oxford — more casual, more comfortable, and a bit more versatile. Sometimes referred to as a blucher in America, the Derby began as a popular sporting boot in the 1850s, before it started showing up on the feet of well-shod urbanites at the turn of the century. This two-eyelet take is made in Portugal: suede uppers sit on a lug sole in lightweight EVA. This adaptable casual dress shoe looks just as good with denim and a cardigan as it does with tailored trousers and a sport coat.
