Founded in 1922, Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation is a U.S. based manufacturer of premium men’s footwear and accessories. We have been creating timeless, custom-made men's dress shoes and casual shoes since 1922. Our shoes use only premium leathers and are handcrafted via a 212-step process. Derby shoes can be both formal and casual, depending on their specific design, material, and styling. They are known for their versatility, which allows them to be dressed up or down based on the occasion and outfit. Derby shoes generally fall slightly lower on the formality scale compared to closed-laced shoes like Oxfords. The open lacing and often more rugged appearance of Derby shoes give them a more relaxed and casual vibe. However, this doesn't mean they can't be worn in formal settings. When paired with a well-tailored suit or dress pants, they can create a refined and elegant ensemble for business events or semi-formal occasions.
