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

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.
