BUCKSKIN DERBY

The popularity achieved by Buckskin and Reverse Calf for men's shoes in recent years testifies to their practical comfort and good wearing qualities for sporting and similar occasions; in addition, the range of colours is sufficiently wide to satisfy most tastes The shoe photographed is designed for simplicity but these skins are equally effective for Derbys or Oxfords both plain and brogued. Stout crepe rubber often takes the place of leather soles for such shoes. (The nap of a soft leather should never be raised with a wire brush but, if worn shiny, petrol or benzine may be used with care and the shoe finished off with the correct colour cleaning ball).
