Whether derbies, loafers, oxfords or monks - classic shoes are gaining in importance again and are the top models of 2024. However, these are not the ordinary versions we see on the catwalks and the streets. These iconic basics are being redesigned and put on thick soles. The extra centimetres give these timeless lines a cool twist and an unexpected dimension.

Who says style has to come before comfort? The trend for thick soles offers the best of both worlds. Walk confidently over the cobblestones of the city or through the corridors of your office, thanks to a stable and firm base. These shoes provide suitable arch support by distributing body weight evenly. This feature is particularly appreciated by those who walk long distances or spend long hours on their feet.

Pair platform derbies with well-fitted trousers for a formal look and then switch to wedge loafers to dance into the night.
