Product details+

A derby for the days between a sneaker and a dress shoe. The Ashby keeps the open lacing of a classic derby, a clean square toe and visible welt-style stitching around the upper, set on a flat rubber sole that grips and flexes.

It works with chinos and an open collar as easily as with wool trousers and a jacket, and it is light enough to wear all day.

  • Open derby lacing
  • Square toe
  • Contrast stitching around the upper
  • Flat rubber sole with a textured tread
  • Cushioned PU insole and breathable cloth lining
  • No logos, no visible branding

Black, Brown, Blue, White

What is the difference between a derby and an oxford?

The lacing. On a derby the eyelet panels are stitched on top of the shoe and open wide, which makes it easier to put on and more forgiving on a higher instep. An oxford's laces close into the shoe and read more formal.

More in shoes. Worldwide shipping, typically 5 to 12 days. 30-day returns.

Didn’t expect much at the price but it looks twice what I paid. Wore it to a work dinner and three people asked where it was from.

Fits properly and doesn’t cling in the heat. I’m 28 but always got mistaken for a student — not in this.

Heavier cloth than the usual stuff and it sits really well. Smart enough for the office under a jacket.
