the best bluchers

Cantabrigian · Mar 7, 2007

I really like the look of oxfords and, if I had my druthers, would wear them pretty much exclusively.

But I have really hard to fit feet and have a lot of trouble finding oxfords that fit even somewhat comfortably.

What are your favorite bluchers/derbies? If you had to wear them with a suit (Not ideal, I know. Yes, yes I'll go bespoke as soon as I can afford it) which would you chose?

So far I'm looking at some U-last London 3-eyelet derbies in cognac.

Thanks,
Cantab

St. Crispin's two eyelet is one of the best not yet mentioned...

I have a pair of bespoke shoes in black that are similar to the EG Exeter and wear them with lightweight suits.

The toe looks great under trousers, much like a monk (which I won't wear with suits but my reasoning is no more rational than Manton's for wearing monks but refusing to wear bluchers).

What about the Weston Hunt derby?

Good point. They are great with tweed. And you can still order them from EG. You just won't get the hand printed sock with your name inscribed.

I'm partial to Ludwig Reiter Budapester, Weston demi-chaisses, and Sutor Mantellassi Norwegian-welted split-toes. Vass's Budapester might be better-made than Reiter's (I have no complaints about Reiter, mind), but I've not seen or tried one one.

Church's Grafton. I know some of you hate the corrected leather of the book binder finish. But I love them
