Our notes
Our Goodyear Welt Derbys are a smart cap-toe Derby in our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), built around a handcrafted classic last shape and finished in a rich vegan leather you can polish to keep looking sharp. Hidden metal eyelets sit behind the vegan leather for a clean lacing line, with long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester) tipped in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy).
They're made with Goodyear welt construction, the most respected method in shoemaking — up to eight weeks, 75 parts and over 200 operations for a single pair. When the hard-wearing rubber outsoles (made with 10% recycled rubber) wear down, a good cobbler can stitch on a new sole at the welt, so the shoes last far longer than a normal pair. And as the finish wears with time, you can add a burnish yourself — or have a cobbler do it — to bring back the depth and give them character with age.
Inside, Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the shoes — soft and breathable against the foot — and a memory foam insole over a traditional cork bed moulds to your foot with wear, getting more comfortable over time.
