1907 Derby Boot - July 5, 2016 Release
$2,000.00 CAD
On July 5, 2016 we officially launched our inaugural limited release - The 1907 Derby Boot. Only 50 pairs were made available to friends, family and mailing-listers on a first-come first-serve basis. This day marked our official shift in concept from custom (often one-of-a-kind) "Choose Your Own Adventure" shoe/ boot makers to a small-run shoe/ boot manufacturer specializing in periodic (quarterly), extremely limited (50 pairs only) releases.
A Derby is a classic and timeless silhouette originally popularized in mid-nineteenth century England as a sporting and hunting boot. By the turn of the century the Derby shoe and boot had become styles widely accepted for their supreme versatility - appropriate for every day wear, formal outings, and sporting alike.
To be completely honest, as our new production model was going to be such a dramatic departure from the way we've done business in the past (from inception), we figured it was probably in our best interest to release an extremely versatile boot out of the gates - One that could be dressed up or down, worn just as easily to work or on an overnight hike, and maybe most importantly, would look equally great on both men and women. As soon as we all (unanimously) agreed that boot was the Derby, we started down the path of designing our unique interpretation of the tried and true classic.
Features:
- Custom fit to our customers' unique feet. If you’re local, we’ll have you in shop for a consultation/ sizing, and if you’re based abroad simply visit our SIZING page as we'll hold your hand through the process of accurately measuring your feet to ensure a perfect fit. We will be drafting a unique pattern for each and every pair of boots (on order) - these boots will be “Bespoke” (made to measure).
- Men’s and Women’s silhouettes available. Similar in shape, our women’s model is slightly narrower with a marginally more pronounced heel rise.
