George Nero, our classic Derby Laceup, impresses with its simple design and timeless elegance.
It goes perfectly with the suit. But even combined with a black belt with jeans and a jacket, every man is stylishly dressed with George. The noble materials and the unique workmanship give this model incomparable comfort.
The origin of the derby is not clearly clear. Legend has it that at the end of the 19th century, a count of the same name from England had difficulty putting on and taking off his shoes. He had a comfortable pair made to his liking that was easy to put on. Today this model with open lacing is called a derby cut.
A classic Derby has 3 and 5 pairs of eyelets and open lacing with two quarters on the front that are not sewn at the front. A short piece of seam – the Derby bar – serves as a reinforcing seam below the eyelets. The derby bow – the curved leather edge of the two side parts – is typical of the classic derby. Stylistically, the Derby is a casual shoe and can also be decorated with flourishes, which gives it a sporty and extravagant look.
The shaft, the insole and the sole are sewn together – in technical terms, sewn through. This design guarantees a long service life and allows wear parts such as the outsole and heel surface to be easily replaced. The Derby is made of fine calf leather, usually with a medium level of softness – supple and delicate. The high leather content ensures perfect air circulation, meaning your feet always stay dry and healthy.
