Collection: Derbys

Unisex, elegant and durable

Timeless and comfortable, derbies transcend eras.

Once reserved for formal wear, they are now being reinvented in cleaner and unisex versions, suitable for all styles and body shapes.

From the Saudade collection , our derby shoes pay homage to the beauty of craftsmanship. They are handmade in Portugal from olive leather, an innovative material derived from olive oil production waste. A responsible creation that reflects our commitment to doing better and creating beautiful things.

Simple yet assertive, they come in black, brown, or cow print to suit every personality. These are timeless men's derbies, but also elegant women's derbies: a unisex style designed to last and be passed down.

Comfort at every step

At Zèta, comfort is not an option: it is our starting point.

Our comfortable derbies have been designed to accompany every step, from morning to night, without ever weighing down your gait.

The supple and durable olive leather naturally molds to the shape of the foot and softens over time. Inside, the recycled foam insole provides soft, stable cushioning for lasting comfort.

Before their launch, each model goes through the CTCP (Technological Center for Footwear in Portugal) to test its strength and durability. Our teams and the members of the Zèta club then wear them in real-world conditions to validate their feel, fit, and quality.

Our designs do not follow fashion: they stand the test of time.

Your questions about derbies

Why wear derbies?

Because they combine style and comfort with rare ease.

Women's and men's derby shoes are suitable for all occasions: at the office, on weekends, or for a more formal dinner. They easily replace sneakers or ankle boots depending on the season and quickly become a wardrobe essential. For a more structured look, explore our collection of vegan moccasins .

Are our models unisex?

Yes. At Zèta, all our derbies are unisex. Their minimalist design and neutral lines make them easy to wear for everyone, regardless of body type or wardrobe. For a more feminine style, opt for our GAIA strappy ballet flats , which are ultra-comfortable and vegan.

How to wear them?

These shoes can be worn in any season.

Worn with jeans, wide-leg trousers, or a midi skirt, they instantly add character to an outfit. In autumn, they can be paired with a trench coat or blazer, and in spring, with a light shirt or a simple t-shirt.

Which model should I choose?

For a classic look, opt for black derbies, a must-have that's easy to match. Brown styles offer a softer, warmer touch. And if you like statement pieces, the cow-print derbies give the style a bold twist.
