Cheap(er) derbies with contrast sole?

[qom]

Been looking all over the place for derbies or possibly oxfords in black/brown, and with a contrasting sole.

I know APC had some nice ones SS08 (or possibly AW08), and they have some good looking ones this season too. However, I'm not able to put 280€ on shoes that I probably will wear quite often and not for formal meetings or stuff like that. I'm looking for something cheaper that I can wear without being bummed if I get some dirt on them.

These are the ones APC have this season, so you know what I'm talking about

I take it that this is somekind of new phenomena since it's IMPOSSIBLE to find shoes like these on ebay.

Just made a similar post - looking for any brand that makes these style shoes/Opening Ceremony style derby's. qom obviously has smaller feet than me, but if someone could keep an eye out for derby's in a 14/48, would be much appreciated.

looks nice, however, they're still pretty pricey and almost no sizes left

[st_]

well, these are a grey beige obviously but i'd have copped if they had my size.

still somewhat pricey (220CAD + shipping), although i think that is what you'll have to pay for something half decent?

[who8mahrice]

Does it need to be brand new? I've been looking at slightly used Allen Edmonds on eBay and styleforum that can go for like...$50. Tons of different models, so finding something you really like might be hard though.

Rachel Comeys. Call this place called In God We Trust, they had them for like $150 a few weeks back. Opening Ceremony in NY also has some on sale I think.

Our Legacy

They come in navy blue, too.

[jgan85]

rachel comey... absolutely beautiful they are

[dismalfuture]

Y'all niggas forgetting the Grenson Kirks, those got to be pretty cheap when they went on sale.

NDC's are well over now and would fit the bill as well, as for brown or black.

[lucky_cloud]

maybe, but who has grenson on sale?

[Kesnel]

Even at full price the models from the Rushden range (e.g. the Kirk) are less than those APCs on the first page.

Lots of places stock them over here, many of which ship internationally. These, for example, come to £126.99 ($183.84) with international shipping.

another one for rachel comey's

the web shoe is on point

[qom]

Those looks nice for sure Kesnel

And pretty cheap too, however I can't afford it being a student and all, maybe it's time to sell my other kidney

WHY DON'T RACHEL COMEY'S COME IN BIG GUY SIZES ((((((

sad.

[who8mahrice]

Jeep, what size are you? 13 or 14? Some people have said RC run a size big...I found them to be like a size and a half big and they may stretch with wear?

I was just gonna come in here and suggest Grenson then I saw other people already have. Winn Perry has the Nobles (Rushden line) for like $125 from $250. I'm thinking about buying a pair tomorrow. Don't forget UK sizing. *Edit* Yea, the Noble's not really a plain derby...but on sale still better than a lot of other options.

I'm a 14US, usually 14 or 15 in dress shoes. If they come in 13's and run a size big, maybe I can have them stretched or use my shoe-trees to try and get a few cm's out of them, but usually it's a no-go

[qom]

chop of your toes man

[16steps]

yo jeep.....a size 14 (13) RC derby would look like clown shoes on you unless you are 6'5

[capa]

Rachel comeys run a full size big, but they are pretty narros.

[Fycus]

Bump, I found these for $125 brand new, but I don't know how to go about copping them. The brand, COS, has stores located in London, Belgium, and Germany for those who are interested.

[qom]

oh snap, those are sweeeet, available in other colors?

do someone know if they stock them in London?

[corey]

The last used for the Grenson Kirk has a very elongated toe box. Clown shoes.

The last used for the Grenson Wembley, Kent, Walgrave and Elland is much more elegant.

If you want a contrast sole, you can always sand down the sides and apply a clear sealant.

London store has them in stock. They also come in grey.

[jeepster]

someone tell me if the COS derbies come in 14US.

plz and thanks.

[corey]

I retract my comments on the Kirks. They don't look too lofty in these shots.

Would look better in brown.

[corey]

I have Grensons in a different last (107). They run 1/2 a size large.

[jeepster]
