Madignano Apron Lug-Sole Derby for Men - Chunky Leather Derby Shoes

Madignano is a polished apron derby set on a deep lug sole. The apron seam gives the front structure, the open lacing makes it easy to adjust over a high instep, and a small pull loop at the heel helps it on. It keeps the neatness of a dress shoe with the grip and weight of a boot sole - a derby for rainy commutes and weekend city walks.

A derby has open lacing - the quarters are stitched on top of the vamp - so the lacing opens wide and adjusts easily over a high instep or wider foot. That makes it more forgiving and more versatile than an Oxford. A chunky lug rubber sole adds grip, height and all-weather confidence. The full-grain calf is smooth and dense, takes a polish well and creases gracefully over time. Wear it with chinos, flannels and relaxed suiting, and with denim when the sole is chunky. It moves easily between office days and weekends. Handmade by Melodiapelle, it is built to be worn for years, not seasons.
