Split Toe Derby

[jischwar]

What’s the go to brand nowadays for split toe?

Yeah, not sure your budget but I agree with @Mallaig

Thanks @Mallaig and @jischwar

What’s after that? Dieworkwear swears by Edward Green. What’s another brand that’s a little more sporty per se. EG is dressy. I want something that I can wear with pants and jeans. Or should I stick with loafers altogether?

So I would say you can get there easier with EG in terms of last, welt and sole configuration. Check out Alden as well for a more American ivy.

Here are some EG Dovers, Notched Welt, Ridgeway soles and 32 last

Brogue shop has some solid options, see below

If budget is not a concern, definitely go for EG Dover or St Crispin’s
Otherwise, I would like to recommend TLB Mallorca. Their city sole is definitely a bonux

I have Vass norweger from NMWA that I love. Looking for a dark brown pair.

I really liked the collab between Drakes and Paraboot. The leather sole in lieu of rubber looked great. Gave it a slimmer profile, which to me straddled the line between dress and sporty well. Too bad it was seasonal item and sold out. I think I needed a 7.5uk rather than the 7uk.

I also have the JM Weston 180 that are a pain to break in so far. I'll continue to keep an eye out.
