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

Martignana is the burnished version of our apron lug-sole derby. The deeper finish at the toe and heel gives it warmth, and the chunky tread makes it a true all-weather shoe. Open lacing sits comfortably over the instep, and a heel pull loop makes it quick to put on - smart enough for the office, sturdy enough for the weekend.

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 burnish is built up slowly by hand, so the colour deepens at the toe and heel and the leather keeps developing depth with every polish. 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.
