The Kilsby Derby Shoe brings the substance of Tricker’s country footwear to a versatile Derby shoe. Made on our 4497s last, traditionally used for our country boots, it has a generous toe box, stable feel underfoot and a strong, high-walled profile. The hand-stitched apron and heavy-set derby quarters give the shoe its distinctive Kilsby shape.
This version comes in Brown Pampus, a supple calf leather with a smooth grain, soft handle and rich espresso tone. The dark brown finish gives the shoe an easy versatility, sitting naturally with denim, corduroy, heavier cottons and relaxed tailoring. Comfortable from early wear, Pampus leather will soften and develop more depth with regular polishing and care.
Each pair of Kilsby shoes is handmade in our Northampton factory in England by skilled craftspeople using traditional methods, and to the same exacting standards that first established our reputation. Goodyear welted construction gives the shoe durability and the option to be resoled in years to come, while the Vibram Vi-Lite sole gives the stance of a more substantial treaded sole with added shock absorption and a lighter feel underfoot.
