Any boot with its facings stitched on top of the vamp can be classified as a derby. Also known as 'open lacing', this style is of particular benefit to people with higher insteps and can be found on a variety of styles. Derbies are generally seen as more casual and offer an easy way to transition to casual outfits.

Chromexcel leather is a combination tanned leather that undergoes at least 89 separate production processes and takes 28 working days to complete. Chromexcel is the classic "pull-up" leather meaning that, when folded and flexed, greases and oils that were infused into the original hide migrate, causing a very nice tonal effect. The leather also develops a 'refined ruggedness,' a character of the leather whereby creases and furrows will quickly appear through the material, giving the boots a worn-in, vintage aesthetic.
With proper care, Cheaney shoes will give comfort, value and service over a considerable time.
