Soft, sturdy cowhide

Made in Portugal

Unsinkable Goodyear storm welt construction

Two different leathers, two different characters.

The full-grain leather is softer and slightly glossy. It takes life's knocks in its stride, quickly developing a patina and gaining character with every outing.

The waxed leather plays a different tune. It's not meant to stay perfect: it marks, it creases, it soaks up the traces of wherever you've been. All those imperfections are exactly what give it its charm. A waxed pair that's six years old looks nothing like it did coming out of the box, and that's exactly the point.

Either way, you're slipping your feet into full-grain cowhide leather, soft and sturdy, worked in Portugal.

For life

For the shoe boffins out there, this is what's known as a Goodyear Storm welt construction. For everyone else, it just means the sole is 100% stitched. Not glued. And that changes everything:

  • First, because stitching holds up infinitely better over time: no peeling off, no gradual breakdown.
  • Second, because a stitched boot can be resoled endlessly. When the sole wears out, you just swap it out, and the upper is good to go for another round.

We've also developed an EVA foam leather-lined insole that absorbs shocks and dishes out the comfort for years. Wear them all day, every day - no problem.

Better shod than ever

The Derby Boots are made by Penha, in Portugal. They’ve worked exclusively with leather for decades, with craftspeople trained in techniques you just won't find on a standard automated production line.

Triple topstitching on every cut, round waxed cotton laces, metal eyelets, the whole upper lined in leather: every detail has been thought through and earns its keep.
