Bison Derby Shoe in Navy Buffalo Leather
- £425
Elevate your wardrobe with the Bison Derby Shoe in Navy Buffalo Leather. Crafted from premium buffalo leather, each shoe showcases natural grain and markings, celebrating the beauty of individuality. The deep navy tone adds a modern, versatile touch, while the durable construction ensures lasting wear.
The Derby, also known as a Gibson, is considered a little more casual than an Oxford or classic Brogue. That being said, the style is extremely versatile, with Derby's often being paired with suits, chinos or jeans, making them a multifunctional investment piece. They are described as having an open lacing system and, as such, are suitable for a wide foot or a foot with a high in-step.
Designed for superior all day comfort, this last follows the natural contours of the foot to offer a supportive, easy fit. Its feathered lasting edge tapers neatly into the welt, reducing bulk and subtly concealing the join for a smoother, more refined silhouette.
