These black Derby shoes are highly versatile and complement a range of outfits:
Formal Attire: Pair with charcoal, navy, or black tailored suits, dress shirts, and ties.

Avoid pairing with overly casual items such as shorts, athletic wear, or distressed denim, as this would detract from their intended classic aesthetic.
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the rich leather and extending the lifespan of your Solomon Derby Shoes:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth after each wear.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months (or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Polishing: Use black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine with a brush or polishing cloth.
Shoe Trees: Insert cedar shoe trees immediately after wearing. They help absorb moisture, maintain the shoe's original shape, and prevent creasing.
Water Protection: While the leather offers some natural resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. If wet, stuff with newspaper and let air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Rotation: Allow your shoes to rest and air out for at least 24 hours between wears. Rotating with other pairs helps them dry completely and prolongs their life.
