INTRODUCING FERNSBY

A classic country-inspired Men’s Derby Shoe handcrafted in Loake’s Wood Street factory in Northamptonshire, England, on the regular ‘F’ Fit ‘Minster’ last. Made from premium pull-up leather, these shoes feature a Goodyear welted ‘Dainite’ rubber sole for exceptional comfort, breathability, and grip. Fernsby is complemented with green Barbour laces and self-coloured laces so the wearer can choose their preferred style.

Each pair takes up to 8 weeks to create, involving as many as 75 parts and 200 different shoemaking operations. If cared for correctly, this type of construction allows the sole to be replaced multiple times to extend the shoe’s lifespan. Finished with Barbour’s signature tartan heel loop and cushioned arch support sock, the Fernsby is ideal for complementing both relaxed tailoring and everyday casual outfits.

The Description

Our ‘Fernsby’ is a premium pull-up Waxy Leather Derby shoe, featuring Goodyear welted Dainite rubber soles for greater longevity and grip. Fernsby uses the ‘Minster’ last shape, and is available in a ‘f’ fitting. These men’s shoes are designed in collaboration with Barbour and handmade in our high-grade factory in Northamptonshire, England.

Shoe Care:

  1. Shoes with a pull-up finish are produced with a blend of natural oils, greases, and waxes. This leather will continue to improve over time, with natural wear adding to its character. Massage with fingers to heat and distribute the oils, softening and smoothing any blemishes.
  2. The Loake Oiled Leather Wax can help revive and protect the shoe. We recommend a lighter application, as a little goes a long way.

Please note, these shoes come with a complementary pair of protective cloth bags valued at £5.00.
