Women's Derby Boots

Women's Derby Boots

Open-laced and built to last — women's derby boots from Solovair, the Northamptonshire factory that has made them since the 1960s. From 6-eyelet astronaut boots to 8 and 11-eyelet lace-ups in Hi-Shine, Rub-Off and greasy leathers, each pair sits on the air-cushioned sole and is Goodyear welted in England.

The derby's open lacing makes it the easiest boot to fit — kinder on higher insteps than a Chelsea, and it moulds to you as the leather breaks in. Free UK delivery over £50.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes it a derby boot?

The eyelet facings are stitched on top of the vamp rather than under it, so the lacing opens wide. That gives an adjustable fit across the instep — the practical choice if one foot is fussier than the other.

Can they be resoled?

Yes — Goodyear welted, so the sole comes off and a new one goes on without touching the upper.
