If you’re looking for a more casual take on traditional dress shoes, men’s Derby shoes, also known as Gibsons, are the perfect option. Highly versatile, Derbys lend themselves well to dressing up or down; pair smooth black or brown men’s Derby shoes with a suit for a less formal aesthetic or a classic suede design with jeans for a smart-casual look. Due to their open lacing system and spacing between their eyelets, our English Derby shoes are considered particularly ideal for a G wide foot or a foot with a high instep.
Derby shoes are an incredibly versatile style and a great pair to have in your wardrobe for any occasion. Designed to be worn as both a formal shoe and as an everyday smart-casual shoe, Derby shoes are truly a men’s footwear essential.
At Cheaney Shoes, we offer a wide selection of premium leather Derby shoes for men. Whether you’re looking for a classic brown or dark leaf shade, or you prefer to make a statement with a bright colour, like our green styles, you can find the perfect pair for you today. Derby shoes look similar to Oxford shoes, however, the main difference is the space between the eyelets tab, unlike the more rigid Oxford style, a Derby style is loose when the laces are undone.
A Derby shoe is perfectly at home paired with a formal three-piece suit or worn with casual jeans or chinos, they’re also ideal for those with a wider foot. Why not also browse our extensive range of premium footwear, from Loafers to trainers.
