Derby shoes are probably the most versatile of all shoe styles, bridging the gap between formal and casual outfits with ease. The Derby Brogue is easily the most recognizable variant, popularized by the introduction of the Country Brogue, which was developed for practical use in the fields.

The inner and outer quarters are stitched to a tongue on each side of the vamp, and the tongue is cut as part of the vamp and is not a separate element. Often referred to as "open lacing".
