The Broad Derby
A smart derby cut generously, for the men most formal shoes pinch. Formal silhouette, roomier last.
What you are actually buying in the Broad
John White has been putting men in proper shoes since 1919. The Broad exists because comfort should not cost a man his formality.
Generous where it matters
The Broad is cut on a roomier last, so the forefoot sits without pressure and the toes are never argued with. If polished shoes have always felt a size too honest, this is the derby cut for you. The silhouette stays formal; only the fit is generous.
Polished calf, capped toe, all-day comfort
Polished calf leather with a clean capped toe and four-eyelet lacing, fully leather lined with a cushioned ribbon-edge insole and a suede-backed heel counter. The lightweight rubber sole grips and absorbs without the weight.
