Derby shoes are arguably the most versatile of all shoe styles, effortlessly bridging the gap between smart and casual outfits. The Derby Brogue is easily the most recognizable variant, popularized by the introduction of the Country Brogue, developed for practical uses in the fields. The sequence of operations in making a Derby differs from that of an Oxford. The inner and outer quarters are stitched to a tongue on each side of the upper, and the tongue is cut as a part of the upper, not as a separate piece. Often referred to as "open lacing."
