Open laces, a wingtip that sweeps the full length of the shoe, broguing punched along the seams — a black longwing Derby is relaxed construction, correctly dressed. Where the Oxfor d is strict, the Derby is easier: the lace flaps sit on top of the vamp, so it pulls on without fuss and gives a little more room across the foot. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, a clean box-calf black finished smooth for an even shine. Here the Alex is built on the 675 last — an almond toe with a slightly deeper fit — so the foot settles in and the shoe stays comfortable through long days. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it on the dressier side of casual.This is the black shoe for the man who finds the Oxford a little stiff. Put it under a suit and it behaves; put it under dark denim and it leads. Open laces, wingtip, broguing — relaxed in all the right ways, correct in all the others.Some shoes need the right occasion. The Alex makes the ordinary one look intentional. Show more
