Kiton Urban Commando Derby Shoes

Kiton derby shoes, handmade in Italy. The design is contemporary, chunky yet elegant. Handmade in Italy from the finest clalf leather, paired with a commando sole. Including original Kiton cedar wooden shoe trees.

Developed in the 1930s, the ‘Itshide’ Commando sole was the first of its heavy-duty kind — and was adopted by the British Army as a way to keep troops tooled-up and kitted-out for even the most hostile landscapes.

All Kiton pieces are made from meticulously selected hides and assembled by expert craftsmen in their atelier in Naples. The superior quality hides are also processed by hand using artisan washes and dyes. Any imperfections, colour clouding, veining or creases distinguish Kiton products and make them one-of-a-kind. Therefore, every pair of Kiton shoes is unique, like those who wear it. Before delivery, Kiton shoes are left to rest for three months. They will meet their new owner only when they reach their final shape.
