Our notes
Rain, puddles, cold and wet streets — these keep your feet dry all season in a smart shoe that feels like a trainer. They're one of our most popular shoes, and it's easy to see why: the pair you reach for when it's pouring but you still need to look sharp.
Our Waterproof Derbys are made in Portugal using an advanced injection-moulding process, the kind usually reserved for high-performance hiking and sports footwear like our WVSport collection. The dual-density PU sole is moulded and fused directly onto the upper in one piece, creating a completely sealed base that keeps water out. A PFC/PFA-free Sympatex® membrane sealed inside takes that protection up to the lace line, so rain, puddles, splashes and wet ground are no problem and your feet stay dry through long days.
The uppers are onMicro® waterproof microfibre — a breathable, PFC-free vegan leather that keeps water out while letting your feet breathe. Being fully synthetic, they won't rot, crack or spoil the way natural leather can when it's soaked and dried again and again, and road salt won't mark or stain them either — a quick wipe with warm soapy water and they're clean. It makes them an ideal material for shoes that see a lot of weather.
Inside, breathable onSteam® linings wick moisture away and resist odour, with thick, removable cushioned insoles for shock absorption and all-day comfort. The outsole gives solid grip and protection underfoot, and recycled polyester laces with metal tips finish the look.
It's a smart Derby through and through — a soft square toe and quarter double-stitch detailing make it as refined as it is practical — but it's light on the foot and wears like a pair of trainers, ready for work, travel, or everyday life in all weather.
These are the shoes you can wear anywhere, in any weather, without thinking about it.

Seriously, this model fixes many of the grievances I had with other shoes from WVS. It seems almost made for me: wide enough to fit my Hobbit toes, yet elegant; the cushioned sole feels comfortable, even at the end of a day strolling through the city; plus, the part of the sock that is covered by the shoe stays dry, even when soaked from the ankle upwards.
Hope you’ll make more models with this sole and toebox design!
