Casual Derbys Black

Originally launched in 2015, we ran these popular Derbys for a few years until we had to stop making them due to a sourcing complication. Now reintroduced with a few updates and refinements along the way.

They’re the perfect crossover shoe standing in between smart & casual with three playful colour combos on a classic derby silhouette.

• The slim, grippy and durable outsoles are made from TR with recycled content. They’re practical and flexible to walk on, making these a great shoe to wear day and night out and about.
• The uppers are created with Italian vegan leather made with 69% biobased content.
• There are two types of vegan suede lining the inside. This helps air circulate helping to keep your feet cool and provides another layer of comfort for your feet.
• The backs are cushioned and lined with vegan suede to help with fit and ankle comfort.
• They have stitching details throughout, colour matched eyelets and light wood effect heels made from compressed cardboard.
• Deep and squishy recycled insoles.
• Strong laces made from recycled polyester with metal lace tips.
• Finished with a WVS emboss on the tongue and outsole.

Will's Vegan Store launched in 2012 as a vegan shoe company. Since then, they've moved into fashion and other products as well.

The brand continuously reflects on it's operations to see where they can do better. 

Eco-friendly: The majority of items are made from vegan leather alternatives. Some are still plastic-based (PU/PE), but since 2017 they've introduced more biobased and recycled materials into their vegan leather. They have created a sneaker that's fully biodegradable and are certified carbon neutral.

Extra cool is that they have a take back scheme, where you can send back your old shoes to be recycled into outsoles for new Will Vegan's Shoes.

Vegan: As the name suggest, Will's is a completely vegan brand. It's PETA-approved.

Fair & local production: Will's Vegan produces in factories in Portugal and Italy, of which some are part of the Fair Wear Foundation.
