Derby Boot - Dark Brown

The Derby Boot in Dark Brown is the 3DM answer to the question of what a dress shoe looks like when it grows up into a boot. The open Derby lacing system, plain vamp, and full-grain dark brown leather create a boot that is cleaner and more versatile than a brogue, more substantial than a shoe, and more refined than a work boot. Blake-stitched for a slim profile, it pairs with a wider range of outfits than almost any other boot in the collection.

Key Features

  • Full-grain dark brown leather upper — plain, clean vamp
  • Open Derby lacing — comfortable and accommodating
  • Blake-stitch construction
  • Fully leather-lined interior
  • Leather outsole — resoleable

Size Guide


All our shoes are designed to match standard US dress shoe sizes. However, to ensure the perfect fit, please make sure:

  • All our shoes are standard D width. If you have wide feet, please select the next size up.
  • In general, our shoes run slightly big. We suggest you size down if you are in-between sizes.
  • Do not order your sneaker size. Please order your usual dress shoe size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Derby boot?
A Derby boot is an ankle-height lace-up boot with an open lacing system (the same construction as a Derby shoe) and a higher ankle and more substantial build.

Is the plain vamp Derby boot appropriate for business formal?
A plain vamp Derby boot in dark brown leather sits in business casual to smart casual territory. For strict business formal, a plain leather Oxford would be more appropriate.

Wonderful boots

I was on the fence about getting these boots. I did my research and read carefully about the sizing. I finally decided to make the purchase. I was under the impression that it would take several weeks to receive the boots but it took less that two weeks! When I opened the boots I was very satisfied with the craftmanship and the quality. The fit is great and after a quick mirror shine they looked like a pair of thousand dollar customs. I was a little leery about the rubber half sole but now that I am wearing them I really can not tell the difference. I am sure I will make another purchase from 3DM in the future! Best regards!

Hi Christopher
Glad you like the boots and many thanks for sharing your valuable feedback.

The service was ok, and my boots arrived after paying the import charge. This may sound a little picky but the laces on the boots could be better
