Our premium semi brogue Derby boot is produced in our Artisan factory in Le Marche Italy. With a toe cap, the semi brogue is a lightly plainer version of the traditional wing tip pattern. The upper is made from soft, calf suede. We’ve included a suede back pull tab, lace loop and a neatly piped topline. Inside the boot is fully leather lined with a leather insock and additional cushioned leather heel pad. The big difference is the Bologna construction. The upper is sewn to a leather base forming a ‘sock.’ This dispenses with the traditional insole board, creating a comfortable flexibility, which requires very little ‘wearing in’. The upper is produced on an elegant, slightly square toed last, which is Blake stitched to the St Moritz outsole – a practical cleated rubber sole with a slim profile.
