Product Insights

The Suede Derby Shoes Men from Simons offer a relaxed, modern office style that pairs with chinos, flannel, and dark denim, thanks to their matte napped suede texture and open-lace derby construction. They provide a quieter, shock-absorbent rubber sole with non-skid outsole for better wet traction than leather, but the suede upper requires regular brushing and water-repellent spray, is not water-resistant, and the open-lace design may allow water ingress around the tongue, so wearing in wet conditions is not recommended. Order your usual size or half size down if between sizes.

Sizing: Order usual size; half size down if between sizes.
