Monteviale Suede Platform Derby for Men - Suede Derby Shoes

Monteviale is a suede derby on a chunky contrast sole - soft on top, bold underneath. The open lacing and plain vamp keep it simple, and the thick, lightweight sole adds comfort and height. It is a smart-casual derby for weekends, travel and relaxed offices.

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 cushioned rubber cupsole keeps it comfortable all day. The suede has a short, even nap that softens tailoring and looks better with a little wear. Wear it with chinos, flannels and relaxed suiting, and with denim when the sole is chunky. It moves easily between office days and weekends. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, it only gets better with wear and care.
