What are derby shoes?

Derby shoes are a style of men's lace-up shoes characterized by their open lacing system. Derby shoes feature eyelet tabs stitched on top of the vamp, creating a visible V-shaped opening. This open lacing allows for greater adjustability and makes Derby shoes more accommodating for different foot shapes. They are versatile and can be worn in both formal and casual settings, making them a popular choice for various occasions. They often feature brogue detailing, adding decorative perforations and patterns on the upper leather for added style.  

Are derby shoes casual?

Derby shoes can be both formal and casual, depending on their specific design, material, and styling. They are known for their versatility, which allows them to be dressed up or down based on the occasion and outfit. Derby shoes generally fall slightly lower on the formality scale compared to closed-laced shoes like Oxfords. The open lacing and often more rugged appearance of Derby shoes give them a more relaxed and casual vibe. However, this doesn't mean they can't be worn in formal settings. When paired with a well-tailored suit or dress pants, they can create a refined and elegant ensemble for business events or semi-formal occasions.
