Even cushioning reduces muscle fatigue

The Padror derby was designed for the Soci??t?? Nationale des Chemins de fer Fran?ais (SNCF) officers as a durable, comfortable shoe to be worn on the job. As the national rail network, an SNCF officer is probably spending most of their time answering frustrated commuter questions, so a pair of comfy shoes would go a long way.

As we merge into a post-sneaker world (big-ups Throwing Fits) the moccasin-toed, commando-soled silhouette of the Padror works into the wardrobe of a serial sneaker fiend well. The signature serrated edge along the vamp's meeting point with the quarter panels lets you know these aren't your average pair of derbies.

Each pair is handmade in Maine-et-Loire nestled within the Loire Valley ?C upholding the French tradition of manufacturing footwear. The uppers are constructed from smooth Italian leather which will patina beautifully with age.
