These are a pair of classic derby style dress shoes you won't want to miss. With a beautiful and versatile blue and the comfort and durability of Dainite rubber soles, these are a dynamic dress shoe. Especially suited for casual wear, these make for a great weekend shoe out on the town, or a low key work shoe--especially where a lot of walking is involved. These are best cared for with a leather lotion, and were for as long as I've had them. The large shoe trees are an extra add-on. They're in great condition as well made by Clarks England and are a size large (don't know what kind of wood they're made from). "Fall is when colors are at their best especially this year with the new colors we have added to our already popular Oaks Street. This season choose between black or brown kudu leather or navy Chromexcel. Or stick with our classic natural chromexcel or brown grain leather. Either way this cap-toe blucher looks right at home with chinos, jeans, in the office or on the town, while the Dainite rubber sole adds weather-resistant function to its already picture-perfect form."
