A Derby (pronounced or in North American English ) shoe (also called Gibson) is a style of Men's shoe characterized by quarters with shoelace eyelets that are sewn on top of the vamp.〔(Definition of Derby ) OxfordDictionaries.com〕 This construction method, also known as "open lacing", contrasts with that of the Oxfords. In American English the Derby shoe may be referred to as a Blucher, although technically the Blucher is a different design of shoe where only eyelet tabs are sewn onto a single piece vamp.〔(Definition of Blucher ), SHOEPASSION.com.〕 In modern colloquial English, the Derby shoe may be referred to as "bucks," when the upper is made of buckskin.〔(The White Buck Dress Shoe ), ATailoredSuit.com〕 The Derby became a popular sporting and hunting boot in the 1850s. By the turn of the 20th century, the Derby had become appropriate for wear in town.〔Flusser, Alan.
