The Derby, with its straightforward, sporty shape and typical open lacing, is a classic casual shoe today, but is also often combined with more sophisticated clothing. Punto Pigro produces them with a leather sole and a leather heel with a rubber insert. The insole is padded in the heel area, which makes it more comfortable to wear.

Montegranaro in the Marche region, an important location for Italian shoe manufacturing, is home to the relatively young Punto Pigro label. Founded in 2000, it took the traditional footwear craft of the Secchiaris (their family had been active in the industry since 1975) and added new ideas and influences. For example, part of Punto Pigro’s collection features a special seam that goes back to the moccasins of the native inhabitants of North America. What’s more, the brand focuses on high-quality leathers, traditional handicrafts and a casual style in the design of its models.
