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 half shoe has long been popular among women. More and more women are opting for the traditional leather shoe in the office and in their free time. The trademark 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 look and is perfect for formal and elegant occasions.
The History of the Derby Shoe
The Derby has been known as we wear it today for over two hundred years. Its origin, as the name suggests, is in England, where it is said to have been commissioned by the Earl of Derby. He had requested the model after having difficulties with the usual way of lacing shoes and had 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 of 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
While Derby shoes were primarily worn by men, the Derby has now also become popular among women, who like to wear the half-shoe in the office. With its simple yet elegant cut, the Derby is the perfect shoe for a pantsuit.
Models made of smooth black, gray, or dark blue leather exude a serious, modern, and anything but boring look. For a touch of formality, opt for brogue models with Lyra perforation. They make the Derby the first choice for formal appearances in companies or at official celebrations - especially when comfort is also important for the feet and toes. If you like English shoes, the Oxford shoe could be an equally elegant alternative.
Tip: Make sure to keep your shoes clean and well-maintained in the office: You can find everything you need for that at our shoe brush, shoe cream, and shoe trees, as well as all other shoe care products! This will not only make your shoes look great, but also keep them in good condition for longer!
How to Wear Derby Shoes in Everyday Life
Although Derby shoes are typically categorized as " business shoes," they also make for exciting everyday outfits and stylish looks. Fashion designers have completely reinterpreted the classic for the upcoming season and given it a cool upgrade. For example, sneaker derbies are the perfect footwear for a relaxed and casual outfit.
Wear the new, chunky models with a skirt and socks, just like the influencers and models do. Or combine a classic derby with leather pants and a white blouse and enjoy the admiring looks that your edgy dandy outfit will attract. Fun is guaranteed with these trendy shoes, no matter what!
