For Those Going Places

A derby with something to say. Open lacing keeps the fit generous and easy, while a textured leather upper adds depth you notice up close. This is the everyday dress shoe, made a little more interesting.


Built around comfort


The open-lacing derby construction gives room across the instep, so it suits wider feet and long days alike. We work a textured full-grain leather over a supportive sole and line it for comfort, each pair hand-lasted in Nigeria.


How to wear it


The workhorse of a tailored wardrobe. Navy and grey suits by day, chinos and a shirt when the dress code loosens. Textured leather hides scuffs and reads richer than a plain finish.

Caring for your FAWOYE


Real leather ages beautifully when it is looked after. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear, and let your shoes rest a day between outings so the leather can breathe. Condition every few weeks with a natural leather cream, store with shoe trees or lightly stuffed with paper, and keep them away from direct heat. Cared for well, a FAWOYE pair only looks better with the years.


Made to order, shipped nationwide across Nigeria

Frequently asked


Is a derby good for wide feet?


Yes. The open lacing lets the shoe open wider across the instep, making it one of the most forgiving dress-shoe styles.


How formal is it?


Smart enough for weddings and the office, relaxed enough for smart-casual. A true all-rounder.
