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.
Developed in 2016 for Cheaney’s 130 year Anniversary, this last was designed to fulfil the need for a classic last with Victorian reference. A wonderful shape, curved around the foot with a medium almond, rounded toe. Fits true to size; holding the back of the heel well, with a generous toe depth and offers more width across the vamp.
- Generous, but true to size
- Suits a slightly wider foot
