SANDERS
SANDERS / 1128BC Smooth Leather Military Derby Shoes
A special order item exclusive to ROCOCO has been added to the classic model that has been popular at SANDERS for many years.
The special order point is the type of leather. The brand's classic model (1128B) uses leather with a glossy finish that has been coated with resin. The special order model(1128BC) uses smooth leather with a fine texture, rather than a coating.
We are the only store to offer this combination of military-style derby shoes and smooth leather. We recommend this pair to those who want to carefully raise genuine leather with their own hands.

Military Collection
An official supplier to the MOD (Ministry of Defence, UK), Sanders has created this Japan-exclusive collection based on the archived military shoes and lasts in their possession.
What is "DERBY"?
Named for the eyelet section resembling a horse racing gate, these shoes are commonly called Derby, or in some European countries like England and France, also referred to as 'Derby'.

With over 150 years of history in Northampton, Sanders is a prestigious British shoemaker. Their commitment to natural materials has remained unchanged since their founding, contributing to their outstanding cost-performance.
Supple and Finely Textured Shine
The uppers are made from Italian smooth leather. This high-quality leather used in dress shoes is known for its fine grain, soft, and moist texture. Enjoy the deepening shine that evolves over time.

The Goodyear Welt Construction
A construction method where the upper, insole, and sole are stitched together with a thin piece of leather called welt, enhancing water resistance since no stitching reaches the midsole directly from the ground.
Military boots designed for durability feature a three-layer sole construction of insole, cork filler, and outsole that molds to the wearer’s foot shape the more they are worn, akin to a custom-fitted insole.
British Commando Soles
Suitable for extended walking, these soles adjust to the shape of the foot the more they are worn. They provide better grip, durability, and water resistance compared to leather soles, ensuring safety even on rainy days.
With a clean look that’s not too casual, these soles are a staple for city walking in the UK, with some people even opting to resole their shoes to this type.

Staff comment

●Staff (165cm/52kg) Usual shoe size: 26cm Worn: 6 (25cm), 6H (25.5cm) Worn with standard mid-weight socks. Size 6 fits snugly in width. There is a thumb's width (1.5cm) of space at the toe, making it a perfect fit. Size 6H has a bit more room in width. The length is similar to size 6, allowing for comfortable wear with just the right amount of space. Both sizes can be worn, but considering the leather will mold to the foot, size 6 is recommended for those who prefer a snug fit. |

●Staff (171cm/61kg) Usual shoe size: 27cm Worn: 8H (27.5cm) Worn with standard mid-weight socks, the fit in width was perfect. There's a little extra space at the toes, but no slipping inside the shoe, offering a comfortable fit in both width and length. If you consider the leather molding to your feet, you could also opt for size 8 for a slightly tighter fit initially, which will adjust as you wear them. |

●Staff (177cm/67kg) Usual shoe size: 27.5cm Worn: 8H (27.5cm), 9 (28cm) Worn with mid-weight socks. The width was comfortably snug, and there was no pressure on the toes. The instep felt slightly tight, but considering the leather will stretch, it should fit well over time. I also tried size 9, which felt considerably larger, with too much movement inside the shoe, so size 8H was just right. |
