In our online shop, women can find simple, elegant, and extravagant derby shoes. Choose your favorite now!
The Derby is a shoe that originally comes from men's fashion. But the elegant, flat oxford shoe has long been popular among women. More and more women are choosing the traditional leather shoe for the office and leisure. The hallmark of the Derby is the distinctive open lacing, two additional side wings that go from the heel seam towards the shaft and whose end carries the holes for the laces, and the often grained vamp.
The lacing of genuine Derby shoes is not integrated into the solid shaft of the footwear as usual, which contributes to a particularly elegant appearance and is perfect for formal and elegant occasions.
The History of the Derby Shoe
The Derby is known as we wear it today for over two hundred years. Its origin is the elegant lace-up shoe, as the name already reveals, in England, where it is said to have been commissioned by the Earl of Derby. He had difficulties with the usual way of closing lace-up shoes and demanded an open lacing from his shoemaker.
This principle is now not only adopted by Derby shoes from numerous brand manufacturers, but also other popular shoe styles such as the Budapest rely on the typical shaft cut for the Derby. In its classic form, the Derby shoe comes with a curved shape of the upper material, but over the decades, pointed and flat variations have also been able to establish themselves. Models are now available not only in brown leather, but also in a variety of color variations and mixtures, with applications and made of shiny patent leather.
At Shoepassion, women can find a selection of trendy derby shoes in various colors to suit every taste and in all common sizes.
The Derby: Perfect Business Shoe for Women with Style
Traditionally worn by men, Derby shoes have now become popular among women, who often wear them in the office. With its simple yet elegant design, the Derby is the perfect shoe for a pantsuit.
Models made of smooth black, gray, or dark blue leather exude professionalism, modernity, and anything but boredom. For a touch more formality, opt for brogue models with Lyra perforations. They make the Derby the top choice for formal appearances in the business world or at official celebrations - especially when comfort for the feet and toes is also a priority. If you like English shoes, the Oxford shoe could be an equally elegant alternative.
