Derby shoes with a brogue-style toe cap
These Luis Gonzalo shoes (model 5682M4) bring back the classic derby shape and update it with a crafted detail: the brogue toe cap, with the perforation typical of English brogues. The result is a flat women's shoe in tan leather, with laces for a comfortable fit and a smart yet casual look.
They are for you if you want a flat shoe with more personality than a plain ballet flat, without the formality of a heeled dress shoe. Compared with a trainer, this one goes for a more polished line; compared with a loafer, the laces give a more precise fit.
Calzados Vesga is a family shoe shop on the main square of Burgos, northern Spain, with a carefully chosen range of brands and real advice on fit and on caring for leather.

Everything you need to know
Overview
This is a lace-up derby with a low, flat line: the brogue-style toe cap is the detail that sets it apart from a plain derby, and the graduated leather finish gives it a richer, less flat look.
Design and style
The wingtip perforation on the toe echoes classic English footwear, translated here into a simple, flat women's shoe. The beige laces contrast gently with the tan leather and are the only visible fastening.
Materials and finish
The upper is cowhide leather with a graduated finish. The lining is synthetic and the sole is also synthetic, flat and low profile.
Comfort day to day
The flat sole gives a stable step and the synthetic lining is easy to keep clean. This is a shoe made for everyday wear, without the discomfort of a heel.
Occasions
They suit the office, a walk, an informal lunch or any day when you prefer a flat shoe with character. This is an in-between-seasons shoe, for autumn and spring.
How to style them
Tan sits well with jeans, brown or green tailored trousers, midi skirts and shirt dresses, and with pieces in cream or navy. For more options, browse our women's casual shoes and the rest of our women's footwear.
What we think at Calzados Vesga
It is an honest shoe: the perforated toe cap gives it a point of interest without needing further trims. We recommend it as a flat alternative to the ballet flat for anyone who wants more character.
