Montague Black Derby

Classic black. Distinctly Eves & Gray.

The Montague Derby takes one of menswear’s most enduring shoe styles and gives it the unmistakable Eves & Gray treatment.

Crafted from beautifully smooth black box calf leather, the Montague has a clean, understated upper that allows the quality of the leather and elegant silhouette to do the talking. Beneath that classic exterior, flashes of our signature purple give the shoe its personality – creating something sophisticated enough for formal occasions but far from ordinary.

The traditional open-laced Derby construction provides a comfortable and accommodating fit, while the sleek profile keeps the Montague looking sharp rather than bulky. This makes it an exceptionally versatile choice for men who want one black shoe capable of moving effortlessly between business, weddings, dinners and smarter social occasions.

Look closer and the details set it apart. The rich purple interior provides a striking contrast against the black calf leather, while our distinctive E&G purple sole delivers an unexpected flash of colour with every step. Each pair is also supplied with both black and purple laces, allowing you to decide just how understated – or individual – you want them to be.

Wear the black laces with a navy, charcoal or black suit for a more traditional formal appearance. Switch to purple when you want the Montague’s character to show through with tailored trousers, chinos or smart evening wear.

Unlike disposable mass-market footwear and synthetic alternatives, the Montague is a proper leather dress shoedesigned around quality materials, traditional styling and the small details that make a pair unmistakably Eves & Gray.

Timeless enough for the boardroom. Individual enough for everywhere else.
