Lace-up suede Derby-style shoes on a lightweight sole
Derby shoes are classic lace-ups borrowed from the men's wardrobe. Classic and minimalistic design – a timeless model that is a great alternative to loafers. These shoes work for both wide and narrow feet: the laced design provides comfort and allows the shoes to be loosened or tightened as needed. Wear them confidently with anything – they go just as well with classic outfits as with bold, streetwear-inspired looks.
About the Material
Plant-based suede alternative with soft brushed finish. Velvety texture, gentle to the touch, breathable.
About BOHEMA
BOHEMA is a Polish family brand founded in 2018 by Sebastian and Wioletta Szypula. Every pair is handcrafted in our Kolbuszowa atelier (southern Poland) by Sebastian's parents: Edward, master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, assembles each pair; Halina, seamstress, hand-sews the uppers from plant-based leather. Three generations, one workshop, small batches.
Care
Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply the plant-leather cream included with every order over €200 every 2-3 months. Air dry away from direct sun or heat. Store with shoe trees or rolled paper inside to keep shape.
Sizing & Fit
BOHEMA uses European sizing 35-42. True to size for most feet. If between sizes, size up half — plant-based leather softens with wear but does not stretch significantly.
Shipping & Returns
EU shipping 2-4 working days (free over €200). UK 3-6 days. US 5-8 days. 14-day returns from delivery, free within EU. Boots must be unworn, in original packaging.

Questions about this product
What material are the Chunky Derbs No 2 Chocolate shoes made from?
The Chunky Derbs No 2 Chocolate derby shoes are made from vegan plant-based suede in a warm brown tone. BOHEMA uses plant-based leather alternatives instead of animal-derived materials, making these shoes fully vegan. They are handmade in a craft workshop in Poland.
Are the Bohema Chunky Derbs No 2 Chocolate shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Chunky Derbs No 2 feature a classic Derby lace-up construction, which naturally allows more room across the top of the foot compared to Oxford-style shoes. The lacing system lets you adjust the fit, making them a friendlier option for slightly wider or higher-instep feet. If you are between sizes or have a broader foot, sizing up is generally recommended.
What occasions are the Bohema Chunky Derbs No 2 brown derby shoes good for?
These chunky brown derby shoes sit at the crossroads of smart and casual. Their menswear-inspired silhouette works well for office outfits, city walks, brunches, and creative events. They pair naturally with tailored trousers, wide-leg pants, midi skirts, or relaxed jeans for an effortlessly androgynous look.
How do I care for vegan plant-based suede shoes like the Bohema Chunky Derbs No 2?
For plant-based suede shoes, brush off dry dirt gently with a soft suede brush using short strokes in one direction. Avoid soaking the material in water. For light stains, use a damp cloth and blot rather than rub. To maintain the texture and colour, apply a vegan-friendly suede protector spray before first wear and after each clean. Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent the brown shade from fading.
