Derby shoe

A Derby (pronounced ⁱ/ˈdɑːrbi/ DAR-bee or in North American English /ˈdɜːrbi/ DUR-bee) shoe (also called Gibson) is a style of Men's shoe characterized by quarters with shoelace eyelets that are sewn on top of the vamp.^[1] This construction method, also known as "open lacing", contrasts with that of the Oxfords.

In American English the Derby shoe may be referred to as a Blucher, although technically the Blucher is a different design of shoe where only eyelet tabs are sewn onto a single piece vamp.^[2]

In modern colloquial English, the Derby shoe may be referred to as "bucks," when the upper is made of buckskin.^[3]

The Derby became a popular sporting and hunting boot in the 1850s. By the turn of the 20th century, the Derby had become appropriate for wear in town.^[4]
