Black Derby Shoes by CALCE

These black Derby shoes from CALCE are a straightforward answer to a common problem: finding one pair that works across the office, a civil ceremony and a formal dinner without looking like a compromise. The open-lacing construction gives a slightly more relaxed silhouette than a closed Oxford – it sits well with a lounge suit or narrow trousers without drawing attention to itself.

The upper is cut from genuine leather, finished to a clean, unfussy standard. The lightweight blok sole does exactly what it should: cushions underfoot without adding bulk, and holds up over time. This is the kind of shoe that looks better after two years than it does out of the box.

Materials & Construction

• Upper: Full leather – structured, breathable, breaks in to the foot over time
• Sole: Lightweight blok – cushioned underfoot, durable on pavement and hard floors
• Lining: Leather – keeps the foot settled across a full working day

EU sizing. If you are between sizes, size up – the last runs true to shape but leather benefits from a little room. Check the size guide for your EU equivalent.
