Derby in 4mm // Blake Welt
Derby shoes are the slightly less elegant cousin to the oxford shoe, where the main difference is the derby has an open lacing system while the oxford has closed lacing. Derby shoes lend a "smart casual" look to any occasion; and, are sometimes also called Bluchers.
The 4mm heel drop blends form and function, giving a slight heel to dress up the shoe as a whole while not having enough height to throw off the gait cycle or posture significantly. Balances a focus on health and a preference for aesthetics.

Blake or Goodyear welt? The Choice is Yours

Both welts have their place in our hearts, and can be resoled by your local cobbler. Choosing a welt can be difficult so here is a guide we put together to help you out.
