Chestnut Tan Thomas Partridge Lace Up Shoes

Derby shoes are the perfect addition to any gentleman’s wardrobe thanks to their unique open lacing system and elegant appearance. That’s why we are pleased to offer you this incredibly sophisticated chestnut full grain leather Derby by Thomas Partridge Shoes.

Derby shoes are thought to be an evolved version of the classic Oxford, but with enough room for a wider foot or higher instep. It is theorised among shoe experts that the term ‘derby’ comes from Edward Smith-Stanley, the 14th Earl of Derby. Due to his generous proportions, the Earl found it difficult to squeeze into Oxfords and so a slightly roomier open-laced version was created. With this in mind, you might like to choose a Derby over an Oxford if you find Oxfords too tight or uncomfortable.

This classic men’s Derby by Thomas Partridge Shoes features a simple rounded toe and plain exterior, with a six eyelet brass lacing system supporting dark brown hand waxed laces. The sole and heel are both incredibly robust and can stand up to many types of terrain, meaning you can walk in them with confidence no matter what your day has in store. The heel features the iconic red blue and white branding, while the padded leather insole with gold branding is extraordinarily comfortable and supportive.

Wear this smart men’s Derby with a black or dark brown business suit and boldly coloured tie if you’d like to stand out at the office. You might want to select a pair of interesting contrast socks to accompany this men’s Derby so that it gain the attention it deserves. For evenings out with friends and family or special occasions, you could team this men’s shoe up with a brown pair of smart chinos, a button up open collar patterned shirt and chestnut leather belt. Also available in dark brown.
