Kensington Leather-Look Derby Dress Shoes

The texture
Derby dress shoes with a grid texture
A subtle embossed grid runs across the upper, giving a classic shoe a modern twist.
The derby lacing opens wide, so they are comfortable over the top of the foot.
A rounded toe and a low heel keep them easy to wear all day.
They look sharp from every angle. They look expensive and are easy to care for.
The Kensington derby shoes have a subtle grid texture that adds interest and depth to a classic dress shoe. They are smart, polished and versatile, perfect for weddings, interviews, offices, dinners and formal events. The clean shape pairs beautifully with suits and tailored trousers, and it also looks sharp with dark jeans for a smart-casual evening.
The fit
EU sizes 39 to 44
Choose your usual EU size: EU 41 fits a 26.5 cm foot, EU 43 fits 28 cm and EU 44 fits 28.5 cm.
The full chart with UK and US sizes is in the size guide below.
Compare the size guide with a pair of shoes you already own. The low heel and cushioned insole keep them comfortable at a long wedding or a busy day in the office.
The derby lacing makes them easy to put on and adjust for comfort, and the cushioned insole helps you stay comfortable through long days and evenings on your feet. The sole gives good grip on smooth floors and pavements. The grid texture also hides small scuffs better than a perfectly smooth finish, so they keep looking sharp through busy days. They pair beautifully with a navy suit and a white shirt for weddings, or with grey trousers and a knitted polo for a stylish smart-casual dinner.

Wipe with a damp cloth and let them dry naturally, away from radiators; a little polish keeps them looking smart. They make a thoughtful gift for graduations, new jobs and special occasions, and they are a dependable pair you will wear for years. Store them with shoe trees between wears to keep the shape crisp and the toe smooth for longer.
