Tux Patent-Leather Derby Shoes

Rumour has it that the Derby shoe dates back to the 14th century and that the silhouette came into existence after wide-footed soldiers struggled to remove their straight-laced Oxfords at the end of a long day. Burberry's latest iteration, dubbed the Tux, is a clean-cut take on the classic style; handmade in Italy from supple, patent leather, the slick pair is left free of additional details, letting the masterful craftsmanship speak for itself.
