Is $39.98 a good price for this shoe?

Yes. At $39.98 at Macy's as of November 6, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent range and cheap for a leather-lined dress shoe. Two stores list it new, so compare the other before buying.

Is this shoe good for all-day wear?

It is built for it: cushioned insole, calfskin lining and a flexible thermoplastic sole. It suits office and event wear better than heavy daily commuting.

Both are offered, including washed buffalo leather and suede in olive and shitake. Leather is easier to keep clean; suede needs a brush and protection.

It is a standard lace-up derby, but buyers report some variation between colors and materials. Try your usual size first and size up if you are between sizes.

Can the sole be replaced?

Not easily. The thermoplastic sole is molded and glued rather than stitched, so a cobbler can add a half-sole but a full resole is unlikely to be cost-effective.

One pair of shoes with laces. No shoe trees, bags or polish are included.

Our take on the Gordon Rush Men's Brogue Plain Toe Derby

The Gordon Rush Brogue Plain Toe Derby is a men's dress shoe in burnished leather or suede, with brogue detailing, a double-stitch cap toe and a flat sole with a translucent thermoplastic inlay. It uses a calfskin lining and a cushioned insole, and Gordon Rush markets its patented flex sole for easier walking. At $39.98 at Macy's as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under typical dress-shoe pricing.
