Derby shoes in brown suede
This Callaghan shoe (model 12300) combines brown suede with a flat synthetic sole with a discreet tread and a classic five-eyelet derby design. The result is a shoe with texture and character, ready for everyday wear.
It is for you if you want a suede shoe that adds a touch of texture to your everyday looks, without giving up the comfort of a lightweight, flexible sole. Compared with a smooth leather derby, this one gains character; compared with a trainer, it keeps the informal elegance of suede.
