N° 5400 details
The dark red leather sole, the hallmark of our Goodyear Flex Line, is a distinguishing feature of this black cap-toe Derby. This design ensures that the leather sole is particularly flexible in the forefoot area and is also pleasantly supple, a boon to drivers.
More flexibility in your daily life – our Goodyear Flex Line
This outsole is made of fine cowhide, as are the interior lining, insole and heel. The leather heel is a true rarity and is nailed to the sole with metal pins. The upper part of the cap-toe Derby is made from French calf leather dyed black and known for its particular suppleness. A high leather content and Goodyear-welted design guarantee that, in addition to their elegant look, these shoes are naturally breathable, durable and easy to repair.
The cap-toe Derby is particularly suitable for men with a high instep, since the open five-eyelet lacing can be widened as desired. Unlike the classic Derby, No. 5400 does not include traditional side pieces. Instead, the narrow strips of leather along the lacing are only stitched down at the instep, as is the case for the Blucher. Unlike the otherwise entirely undecorated Blucher, a tasteful cap-toe seam lends the Derby a spirited elegance.
Complemented with a classic last, the black cap-toe Derby is the ideal shoe for both the workday and evening wear.
Captoe Derby
The separate toe cap is more typical of the Oxford, but here it is paired with the Derby, a classic shoe with open five-eyelet lacing, giving this versatile model a bit more zing.
Classic Last
The standard British last form. Subtly and elegantly narrows at the front of the shoe, without sharply rising from the ground. The average width at the ball of the foot provides a great fit for average feet.
French Calf
This shoe’s upper boasts premium, medium-soft calfskin. The technical term for this type of leather is ‘French calf.’ This type of leather is known for its flexibility, fine texture, and soft grain.
Goodyear Flex Construction
The Goodyear Flex models get their exceptional flexibility from their special Sacchetto design. The sole of this model is bound to the lining using a special seam. This creates a little bag in the midfoot area, which gives it the name 'sacchetto'. The highlight of our Goodyear Flex models is that, unlike other Sacchetto models, they are also Goodyear welted.
General information about our formal shoe collection
Handcrafted
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
Full-Leather Shoes
The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.
Construction
These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.
Gentleman's Corner
These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.
Breathable
This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
Delivery Content
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Shoebox
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant black shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Said shoebox is easy to open, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a note on our philosophy.
Shoe Bag
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.

SHOEPASSION - ONE STEP FURTHER
Made in EU
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
Environmentally sustainable
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Pricing
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
Transparency
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.

The values we live by
Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
