"You can feel the hand of the craftsman and luxury of the touch"
The Woodstock Plain Derby Country Shoe is a clean, understated Derby with a plain toe and minimal detailing. Made on our 4497s last, most often associated with our country boots, it has a generous fit, high-walled toe box and secure feel through the heel and waist. The result is a substantial country shoe with the stability of our boot lasts, but a simpler, more pared-back profile.
This version comes in Sign Kudu, a deep reddish-brown leather with a naturally rich, multi-tonal finish. Sourced from wild African antelope, Kudu often carries visible markings, scratches and scars from life in the bushveld, giving each pair its own character. The leather is known for being both tough and supple, with a surface that feels resilient while remaining soft and comfortable on the foot. As it flexes and creases, the Sign colourway shifts in tone, adding further depth with wear.
Each pair of Woodstock 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. Built with a Goodyear storm welt for durability, added water resistance and the option to be resoled in years to come, it is finished on a Ridgeway rubber sole, giving the shoe reliable grip and stability while keeping a neater side profile than heavier treaded soles.

The perfect pair of shoes
"These are incredible. I wear them with a suit, and they look perfect. Anyone who tells you that open laces can't be worn with tailoring is not worth listening too. Do not hesitate."
