There's something quietly confident about a point-toe Derby. The elongated toe does most of the talking — it lengthens the whole shoe, draws the eye forward and turns an everyday lace-up into something with a bit of attitude. The uppers are cut clean over a pointed last, with hidden eyelets set behind them for a smooth, uninterrupted lace line, and the open Derby lacing keeps it all unfussy and easy to wear.
Most of the range is cut in our signature Italian vegan suede, and the hand feel is the thing you notice first — soft, dry, faintly brushed, with the kind of matte depth that catches light differently as you move. It's a material that rewards a considered palette, which is why we've built the colours around it: a warm tobacco brown and a soft blush pink for something with a bit of character, and a deep graphite black for the pair that goes with everything. For a crisper, dressier finish, the same silhouette comes in smooth Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), in a rich tan and a classic black — the polished option for when the suede feels too relaxed.
That range is the point, really. In brown or black suede these lean into quiet, tailored territory — worn with cropped trousers, wide-leg denim, a slouchy trench, the toe just peeking out from a turned-up hem. The pink is the one that shifts the register: unexpected against navy or grey, softening a sharp suit, doing something more interesting than a nude heel ever could. The tan and black leather pairs are your sharper end of the spectrum — a touch more formal, at home with tailoring or a clean straight-leg trouser.
Underfoot they stay easy to live in: a flexible TR outsole with a light tread for grip, so a dressier shoe still moves with you. Inside, a soft Portuguese vegan suede lining sits comfortably against the foot and helps the shoe breathe, over a cushioned layered insole — a memory-foam top layer on a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) — for comfort through the day.
- Upper
- Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
- Lining
- Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh
- Insole
- Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
- Outsole
- Flexible TR outsole with a light tread for grip
- Laces
- Long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester), with metal lace tips (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy)
- Shank
- Steel shank for stability and support through the arch
- Hardware
- Hidden metal eyelets that sit behind the vegan leather for a clean finish, with metal lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
- Construction
- Mounted (cemented) construction – the upper is lasted to shape and the outsole bonded directly underneath. The most widely used construction method in footwear, it gives a clean, flexible build, though the outsole isn't easily resoled
- Water Resistance
- Vegan Leather – Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion. | Vegan Suede – Not water-resistant – vegan suede will soak through in rain, though it won't mark or spoil when wet. Best kept for dry days, and treat with a waterproofing spray if you want some protection.

The point toes are lush but still comfortable. Top work shoe.
I love these shoes and wear them to work more than any other shoe, especially if I know I'll be on my feet for a lot of the day. They're comfortable and stylish. I get tons of compliments on them. I bought them in 2019 and they're still going strong in 2023.
I got the pink. They are gorgeous.... but i wore them across my house and I already have red scrapes across the backs of my heels (with dress socks). I rested my feet for a few days and tried on thick socks (MeUndies socks) and they feel REMARKABLY better. I still think they're going to cause some scrapes, but I'm hoping they wear in nicely. Meanwhile, I'm going to carry some bandaids on my business trip, just in case.
My husband said his pair he used insoles to lift his heel to ease this problem on his WVS wingtips. Could be a good option as well.
I'll try to update this review after some wear.
I specifically wanted tan vegan brogues & these we ideal. They look smart & stylish. They were also comfortable from the first wear (with socks), which I find rare. The uppers are easy to clean & haven't scuffed with lots of wear. Unfortunately the soles & heals are very soft more like indoor & wore down in less than a month. Wills kindly sent a replacement pair, but have had to have them re-soled & re-healed so they can be worn.
Hi Corrie,
We're thrilled to hear that you find them stylish and the quality of the upper to your liking. We also appreciate your feedback on the softness of the soles and heels. We have taken note of this and will continue to improve the durability of our products. We're glad that we were able to send you a replacement pair and hope that the re-soled and re-heeled shoes will now meet your expectations. If we have not done so already please let us know how much this cost, and we can refund you the amount.
