Compared within this brand.
| Thomas Leather Brogue Boots: Choose this if you want Italian-made black leather ankle boots with classic brogue perforations and a chunky Vibram rubber lug sole (heel about 3.2 cm) on a British last, complete with an extra pair of laces, dustbag, and shoehorn. Choose these if you prefer full leather construction, with a leather lining, sock, and lightly cushioned leather-topped footbed, in sizes 40 through 45. Note that Scarosso says this boot fits large and recommends trying a size smaller than your usual size.[1,2] | Harry Smooth Leather Derby Shoes: Choose this if you want a dressy black derby in polished calf leather that blends a classic silhouette with an understated finish, made in Italy by Scarosso with a leather lining, padded leather-covered footbed, and a 3 cm stacked heel. It suits everyday outfits you want to elevate, and the leather outsole includes a non-slip rubber insert while waxed round laces keep the look neat; an extra pair of laces, a dustbag, and a shoehorn are included. It is offered in black in sizes 40 through 45, and the outsole is primarily leather, so care requirements follow that construction.[3,4,5] | Damiano Braided Leather Derby Shoes Men: Choose this if you want a black derby with a distinctive slanted braided-leather upper, handcrafted in Italy from hand-polished calf leather with a leather lining and a 3.5 cm heel on an EVA outer sole. It's a good pick when included extras matter — extra laces, a dustbag, and a shoehorn come with the pair. Note that because the leather is slightly woven by hand, every pair is unique, and the brand describes minor variations between pairs as a hallmark of their artisanal nature rather than defects.[6,7,8] |
