A classic Derby with brogue detailing by Wills Vegan Store, built using traditional Goodyear welt construction. This centuries-old method involves stitching a welt to the uppers and outsoles, creating a strong, long-lasting bond. When the soles eventually wear, a cobbler can replace them without disturbing the rest of the shoe, giving each pair a long life.
The uppers are cut from Italian vegan 'leather' in a warm chestnut tone, made with 69% bio-based content. Each pair is hand-finished in Portugal by the same family-owned workshop we have worked with since 2015. Subtle broguing adds character while keeping the silhouette clean and versatile.
Inside, a cork layer beneath the insole gradually shapes to the contours of your feet, providing support and cushioning that improves with wear. The shoes are fully lined with soft vegan 'suede' and fitted with deep insoles made from recycled materials. The solid rubber outsoles provide grip and durability.
