Head To The Derby In Casual Derby Shoes

There are many kinds of derbys, and each of them boasts their own unique subcultural style. It makes sense, then, that you’d want to be fashion-conscious when headed to a derby yourself.

If that’s the case for you today, we suggest you wear—what else?—derby shoes. Here’s how to rock these casual kicks, wherever you’re headed.

Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby is a famous horse race that has been held annually in Louisville, Kentucky since 1875. While ladies are generally expected to wear heels and fanciful hats, derby shoes would be a great pick for dapper gents. Pair yours with a brightly-colored suit for maximum impact.

Roller Derby

Roller derby is a contact sport played on roller skates by players skating around a track. Known for its sometimes theatrical displays, funky player pseudonyms and brightly-colored attire, roller derby is always a sight to behold. Fit right in even without wheels on your feet by pairing brightly-colored shoes with high socks and short, high-waisted shorts.

Derby, England

In case a race wasn’t going to do it for you, there is an actual place called Derby. Even better, it’s the English birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, which means its history is full of style inspiration. Rock your derby shoes like a true English bloke by wearing a classic brown leather pair with a well-tailored suit jacket and dark skinny jeans that fit perfectly.

Be perfectly attired for your next derby outing in a pair of casual derby shoes. After all, you can never have too much of a good thing, right?

Derby shoes are the perfect derby-going companion.
