Asym derby boot | Burnt choc | cordovan
The Asym Derby Boot is a long-quarter derby with a deliberate asymmetry in its pattern cut — a quiet formal tension that rewards a second look. The silhouette is clean and upright, suited equally to a working week and a considered occasion.
The upper is shell cordovan in a burnt chocolate tone — a dense, non-porous equine leather taken from the rump of the horse. This particular hide has been treated with a wood-glue coating over a bleached chocolate base, giving it a depth and slight lustre that deepens rather than fades with wear. Shell cordovan does not crease in the conventional sense; it rolls, and over time the surface develops a character that no new shoe can replicate.
Made by hand in Sydney at The Strand Arcade, the boot is Blake stitched through an all-leather construction — upper, lining, double sole, heel, and stiffeners. The sole is Thomas Ware and Sons chestnut-tanned leather, a traditional English tannage known for its density and slow, honest break-in. A rubber top piece can be added to the leather sole for an additional $70.
Fitting: True to size
Can be made to order.
