“A shoe should be as versatile as the man who wears it — ready for business, built for the day.”
– Edward Harrington, Founder.
Crafted in Northamptonshire, Designed for Real Life
These robust apron-toe Derbies are expertly handcrafted in Northampton using traditional British techniques. Made from durable black leather and grounded with a chunky treaded sole, they combine timeless construction with modern-day functionality — ideal for gents who go from meetings to movement without missing a step.
What Makes Them Stand Out
1. Rugged but Refined
The apron toe and clean quarters give these shoes a classic, polished look — while the thick rubber sole ensures grip, comfort, and all-day wear, rain or shine.
2. Built to Keep Up
Whether it’s long commutes, city walking, or weekend errands, the shock-absorbing sole and cushioned interior make these Derbies a trusted everyday staple.
3. No-Nonsense Style
Smart enough for the office, durable enough for the outdoors — they strike the rare balance of function and form that just works with everything.
The Apron-Toe Derby: Understated Strength
Recognisable by its raised stitched seam across the vamp, the apron-toe Derby has long been favoured for its rugged charm and practical edge. A quiet classic, now reimagined with a contemporary sole for a new generation of wearers.
Style Suggestions
Pair them with black or grey wool trousers and a tucked Oxford shirt for a weekday-ready look. Or, lean casual with dark denim, a knit jumper, and a waxed jacket — sharp, sturdy, and effortlessly British.
