How these men's brown moc toe Derby shoes fit

The round toe last leaves plenty of room for the toes, and the leather lace threaded around the collar can be drawn snug to hold the heel, which helps if your heels tend to slip or your ankles are narrow. Open Derby lacing with leather laces makes them easy to get on and off and adjusts over the instep, so these moc toe shoes for men sit comfortably on a high instep without pressing across the top of the foot.

Pull-up leather is softer than a dress calf and shapes to your foot within the first few wears, so the pair should feel snug, not loose, on day one. Order your usual US dress shoe size. We make these men's brown moc toe Derby shoes in US 6 to 15 with half sizes, so large sizes 13, 14 and 15 are cut like any other, and in D, E, EE and EEE widths for wide feet. If your foot is wide, go up in width, not in length. If the pair doesn't fit, we exchange the size or remake it free.

A brown moc toe Derby that shows where it's been

If you want one pair of brown casual shoes for men that works with jeans, chinos and a relaxed jacket, start here. These men's brown moc toe Derby shoes are cut from pull-up leather, the kind of leather that lightens where it bends and darkens again with wear, so no two pairs look exactly alike. A raised apron seam outlines the round toe, and a leather lace is threaded around the collar, a detail borrowed from boat shoes and country shoes. Whether it's a weekend away, a business casual office or dinner in dark denim, these brown apron toe Derby shoes give you the comfort of a casual shoe with the build of a handmade dress shoe.

Pull-up leather · Hand-sewn moc toe · Leather-laced collar

Press a thumb into the vamp and the brown lightens under it, then slowly comes back. That's what sets brown pull-up leather shoes apart: the colour lives in waxes and oils worked deep into the hide, so every bend, crease and stitched edge shows a lighter tone. It's also unforgiving to make, because the leather can't be evened out afterwards, so it has to be cut and pulled over the last the right way from the start. The apron seam, the detail that makes these apron toe shoes for men, is sewn by hand, and the lace panels carry heavier stitching. Inside, a goat leather lining and a quilted, padded insole keep them comfortable all day; underneath sit a leather sole and a stacked leather heel with a rubber heel top. They're hand-welted, so when the sole wears out a cobbler replaces it and the upper carries on. Wear them as casual Derby shoes for men with jeans, chinos and corduroy, on travel days and weekend dinners, or with a jacket and odd trousers in a business casual office. For a formal suit, a black plain toe Derby is the better pick. It's the everyday pair in the collection, made to order like all our handmade leather shoes for men.
