The Marco is a tobacco Derby — the warmest color, on the sharpest last. Open lacing, a smooth upper, a deep golden amber-brown; and on the 722 last it runs long and lean with a chisel toe.
The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the tobacco burnished at the toe and heel for amber-to-chestnut movement. What sets this version apart is the 722 last: the sleekest line in the range. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it dressed.

Toe shape: Chisel · Fit: Snug · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads long, stretched, and sharp. The chisel toe draws an almost horizontal line at the front of the shoe — it doesn't end in a point or a curve, but in a clean, straight edge that gives a very modern and deliberate silhouette. From the instep to the floor, the last communicates intent: this is a shoe that wants to be noticed.
The lateral profile is low and taut. There is no volume in the toe box — the last tapers gradually toward the front without inflating the cap. The result is a shoe that looks even slimmer than it measures, with that visual elongation that makes the foot appear longer and more elegant.
Ideal if you're looking for presence without excess: a shoe that enters the room before you do.
Open lacing is the whole difference.
On a derby the lace flaps sit on top of the vamp rather than under it, which gives more room across the instep and a friendlier, less severe line than an Oxford. High insteps fit it better. Wardrobes use it more.
A derby handles a suit on Monday and dark denim on Saturday without looking like it is trying either time, which is why it is usually the second dress shoe a man buys and the one he ends up wearing most.
Ours are Goodyear welted in European calfskin — the construction that keeps a shoe worn this often from wearing through.
A leather sole is the dressiest way to finish a shoe, and the reason a good pair reads as a good pair from across the room. It is thin where a rubber sole is thick, so the shoe keeps the line the last gave it instead of adding bulk under the foot.
Leather breathes, takes the shape of the way you walk within a few wears, and can be replaced when it finally goes — this is a sole built to be renewed, not discarded.
It is quieter on a hard floor than anything else we make, and it is the sole to choose when the occasion is formal and the day is dry.
