Crockett & Jones Exmoor Derby Shoe in Brown Roughout Suede UK 8 EUR 42

Solid, built-to-last shoes that are a great look with smart or casual outfits. Built on the popular 348 last worn by James Bond in Skyfall, the shoes have a slim and tapered silhouette. Their ruggedness is owed to the hard-wearing suede that also adds bags of character. Quality is good, plenty of life left in the soles and uppers and after a solid brush down will look even better. From C&J: A full-brogue derby shoe, the Exmoor is a classic country-style brogue. It has a rustic look that pairs well with jeans or cords, but also looks great with a lighter toned suit. The wingtip toe design and grained country calf are complemented by the ornate broguing that gives a full-brogue its distinctive and appealing look. Crafted on Crockett & Jones’ enormously popular 348 last, the Exmoor has the sleek square toe that offsets the rustic styling of the country brogue. The open lacing of the derby style also makes the Exmoor a superb option for those with a high instep. It also features a Dainite rubber sole and reinforced storm welting, making it an exceptionally hard-wearing shoe for all weather conditions.
