Alex Brown Calf Wingtip Derby with Half-Rubber Soles - 675

The brown longwing derby, made for real days. The Alex keeps its character — open laces, full wingtip, broguing along the seams — in a versatile mid-brown, and sets it on a sole built for the street. The go-anywhere shoe in the go-anywhere colour.

Full-grain European calfskin, hand-burnished at toe and heel for depth and movement, one pair at a time. Goodyear welted, structured to resole rather than replace.

The 675 last brings an almond toe and a roomier fit for all-day comfort. Underneath, a leather sole with a discreet high-density rubber half-sole: the look stays sharp while you gain grip on wet ground and a sole that wears slower. A brown derby that handles the week and the weather.

Some shoes need an occasion; this one just needs a pair of feet and somewhere to be. It works so quietly you forget it's the one doing the work — brown wingtip, open laces, quiet grip.
