Jim Charles Shoes presents the Derby Split Toe, a refined staple that combines traditional English styling with practical, modern construction.

Crafted on the Zurigo last, this shoe features a rounded toe for a traditional English look, resulting in a balanced, timeless silhouette. The split-toe seam and raised apron add subtle character and definition, with carefully executed stitching that highlights the precision of the pattern cutting and overall construction.

Underfoot, the Derby Split Toe is fitted with a dark brown Goodyear Welt, mixed leather and rubber sole. The Goodyear Welt construction is renowned for its strength, durability, and ease of resoling, making the shoe a long-term investment. The mixed sole offers the best of both worlds: the elegance and structure of leather combined with strategically placed rubber for improved grip, flexibility, and everyday resilience.

Throughout the shoe, quality materials and craftsmanship are evident. Each leather panel is precisely cut, shaped, and stitched, with clean edges and neat finishing that ensure comfort, durability, and a consistently polished appearance over time.

This model is available through our design your own option, which strikes a balance between our stock offerings and the fully customizable Artisan range. It allows for partial customization of key elements—such as colours and select materials—so you can create a more individual version of the Derby Split Toe, while still benefiting from a quicker delivery time compared with our fully bespoke configurations.
