Compared within this brand.
| Owen Derby Shoes Men: Choose this if you want a classic derby dress shoe built fully in cowhide, with a leather upper, lining, sock, and outer sole plus a padded footbed topped in leather. Its round cap toe, five-eyelet waxed round laces, and smooth polished finish in Black or Honey/Camel suit formal or polished everyday dressing, and it is listed in sizes 8 through 12. Note that only the heel is rubberized and described as non-slip, while the outer sole itself is smooth leather, which may matter if you expect more grip.[1,2,3,4] | Asher Derby Shoes Men: Choose this if you want a classic black leather cap-toe derby for dress wear, made with a 100% leather upper, lining, and sock, a padded footbed, and an embossed non-skid rubber outer sole. The five-eyelet open lacing, welted sole, and low stacked heel give it a traditional look, and it comes in sizes 8 through 12. Note that one review description mentions a contemporary almond toe, while the listing describes a round cap toe, so the toe shape may depend on the source.[5,6,7,8] | Alston Penny Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a sleek black leather penny loafer for summer and business-casual wear: it has a 100% leather upper and lining, padded footbed, and an embossed non-skid rubber sole. One Reddit commenter recommends no-show socks with cotton or linen trousers and only laid-back suits, not worsted wool suits or jeans. Sizes 8 through 12 are listed in Black.[9,10] |
