Thanks for this. I only recently discovered the difference between an oxford and a derby but I still had no idea what a wingtip was so I now feel a lot better informed.
I had most all of this known to me, but, I like the way you explained it. It was the blucher that was a new one on me. I have never owned a longwing tip shoe, I kind of like them.
Well I never knew the definition of Blucher. I just assumed it was another name for the Derby. Everyday is a school day. How about the Oxford Adelaide?
As someone with a higher instep, much as I might like a closed look of an oxford, I find derbys just fit and feel better. When your feet end up outside standard sizing, buying footwear becomes a chore
Look at J. Fitzpatrick. He has a high instep, so he likes to make shoes for us with high insteps. Also, try Allen Edmonds, or whoever, with a lot of options and go with the EEE width at a half size down in length.
I find it riciculous to think that a brogued wingtip can't be worn with a suit. Sleekness is great, but so is ornamentation. I agree with most of the video but I don't treat them like strict rules.
I'm afraid so! It's named after a place in England and that's a place where you never know how something's pronounced based off its spelling. Worcestershire, Greenwich, Derby...

yeah this video is DENSE with information and I'm literally learning along the way with the viewer haha
This has been one of the best explanations I've found. 👍
It's so good isn't it
Nice to see you with Nick, Affan.

We need more explanation videos.
I'm doing MY part 🫡
Excellent breakdown of the classics!
Sending this to all the office workers who insist upon dress sneakers.
yes! like if you don't want to be super dressy just get a nice derby!
Wow!! this is so much informative and the best guide🙌
Also much excited to see the Bridlen Factory Tour!!! Montages were very cool in this video!!!
Very informative. The Blucher explanation was fabulous. I'd always been unsure as to exactly what constituted a Blucher.
Great video! This was very informative.
i learnt about bluchers today! Thanks
corduroy is also a staple trouser style for tweed jacket pairing a bit.
tweed is also an outdoorsy "country" fabric, guy.
don't forget saddle shoes, although I think they are primarily usually derbys, anyway.
and ye can have cap toes that AREN'T wingtips.
and monk straps, which are probably technically always derby.
oxblood can look nice and typically more "formal" than brown.
I’m so glad we’ve convinced you that boots are awesome, but there’s other awesome shoes out there too!
Thanks for being welcoming!
Very nice & an informative video 👍
Glad you liked it

Awesome video!
Sorry but i am totally lost. But that i can say, anything learn is knowledge. Thanks for this show.😇
I thought i would never wear an oxford boot, but its got 3 layers of leather protecting your foot from the laces and Its really comphy
Very nice 👍👍👍👍
So many ways to pamper your feet!

It can be work with a suit, but a casual suit. It shouldn’t be confused for formal and shouldn’t be worn with a formal suit.
Am I incorrect in pronouncing Derby phonetically?

Warwick, Dulwich
@@Stridewise it's going to be so weird for me to say Darby. I'll try.
A helpful taxonomy!
And derby is pronounced darby? Mind blown!
