Men's Derby Shoes

Shop men's Derby shoes at English Brands — including the exclusive Sanders Military Collection, alongside Barker, Joseph Cheaney, Solovair and NPS. The Derby (also called a Gibson) is defined by its open lacing, which gives a roomier fit and a slightly more relaxed character than the Oxford.

From dressy black Derbies to rugged military-style derby shoes with commando soles, all are Goodyear welted and built to be resoled — versatile enough for the office, the country or everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Derby the same as a Gibson?

Yes — "Derby" and "Gibson" both describe an open-laced shoe. The terms are used interchangeably in British shoemaking.

Are Derby shoes good for wide feet?

Yes — the open lacing opens wider than an Oxford, so Derbies suit higher insteps and wider feet, and many of ours are available in a G fitting.
