Derbies, Oxfords and low shoes. What is the difference?
Clothes and shoes play an important role in our lives, especially when it comes to style and fashion. When choosing shoes for special occasions or for every day, you may encounter terms that may seem confusing. Let's look at the difference between derbies, oxfords and low shoes.
Let's start with the derby. These are models with open lacing, which passes through separate loops sewn to the upper part of the shoe. Derbies generally have a casual look and can be worn in both casual settings and more formal events. Derbies are distinguished by their versatility and comfort.
Women's sky blue derbies and men's patent leather boots with interesting lacing from Melvin&Hamilton are available now.
Oxfords are a more formal shoe. They are worn at official and business events. They are distinguished by closed lacing, where the laces pass through closed loops sewn to the upper part of the shoe. Initially, this type of lacing was recognized as classic, and Oxford models had strict colors and the same design. Today, however, these boots are made from a variety of materials, including leather, suede, or canvas, and come in a wide range of styles and colors.
Models from Clarks are an interesting option with a contrasting sole for women, as well as strict ones for men.
Low shoes are rough and durable shoes worn for active or work tasks. They feature a closed upper and a high sole. This design was developed to protect the foot and ankle. Low shoes can be made of leather or other durable materials, which ensures their reliability and durability. Nowadays, low shoes have become a popular wardrobe item that complements both casual and business looks, adding some relaxation and elegance.
Our stores offer Pepe Jeans London low boots with a rough sole for women and men's boots with a simple silhouette from Bugatti.
To summarize: Derbies have a casual and versatile look, Oxfords are a more classic choice, and ankle boots are durable and versatile footwear for an active lifestyle.
