Men's Derby Boots

Men's Derby Boots

Shop men's derby boots at English Brands — open-laced boots from Joseph Cheaney, Solovair, NPS, Loake, Sanders, Barker and John White. A derby's lacing sits on top of the vamp and opens wide, giving the roomy fit and rugged character that make it the classic construction for a hard-wearing boot. The range runs from Cheaney's grain-leather country boots to Solovair's air-cushioned soles and Loake's brogue boots.

Almost every pair here is Goodyear welted, so when the sole wears out a good cobbler can replace it and the boots go on for years. Cheaney, Solovair, NPS, Sanders and Barker make theirs in Northamptonshire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a derby boot?

A boot with open lacing — the eyelet facings are stitched on top of the vamp and pull apart, giving more room than a closed-laced boot. It suits higher insteps and thicker socks.

Are derby boots good for wet weather?

Many of ours have storm welts and grain or waxed leathers that shrug off rain. Treat the leather regularly and they'll keep the weather out for years.
