"Commuter" Plain Toe Derby in Brown Kudu, Barrie Last

The “Commuter” Plain Toe Derby is made exclusively for Brick + Mortar in Horween’s “Kudu” Leather. Not to be confused with the Kudu animal, a type of African antelope whose hide is also used to produce leather goods, Alden Kudu leather refers to a type of Horween Chromexcel, typically made from steer hides. It shares same traits of water-resiliency, durability, and ease of maintainability as the traditional variety of Chomexcel, but comes in a matte finish. Packed with waxes and oils, this leather is easy to maintain and will develop a rich patina with wear. Crafted on the popular Barrie last with a commando lug sole, 360 pre-stitched reverse antique welt and four blind eyelets.

Alden footwear is crafted using Goodyear Welt construction, which allows for a full restoration when necessary and a water resistant build. A tempered steel shank under the arch and a cork fill provides remarkable support and comfort throughout the day.
