How to measure your feetFits true to size. Choose your usual EU shoe size and adjust the lacing across the instep. There should be room for the toes to move without pinching at the sides.
Try the pair indoors on a clean surface with the socks you intend to wear. Walk a few steps and check the heel, toe room and pressure across the instep before wearing outside.
Between sizes or unsure about width? Share the length of both feet, your usual EU size and the socks you plan to wear with our concierge.
Measure both feet while standing, from the heel to the longest toe, and keep the longer length. Share the result in centimeters or inches, your usual EU and US sizes, and any width concerns with our concierge.
These measurements describe the pictured EU 43 pair as a whole. They are not foot or insole measurements, or dimensions for every size.

After wearing your Derby, loosen the laces and remove surface dust with a soft brush or a clean, dry cloth. Use a barely damp cloth for a light mark, without soaking the soft calf leather.
When needed, apply a small amount of care product made for smooth calf leather. Test on a discreet area first, follow its instructions, and polish gently with a soft cloth.
Let the pair rest between wears. If damp, dry at room temperature away from direct heat; use well-fitting shoe trees to support the lace-up shape and store only when fully dry.
Avoid prolonged contact with water. Check the leather soles and heels regularly, and consult a trusted cobbler or our concierge about wear before it reaches the upper.
Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. EST.
