Is the Hector good for wide feet?

The derby lacing opens up over the instep, which helps, but the shoe runs on the narrower side of standard. Try your usual size first and size up if you are between sizes.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes. The padded insole is removable, so a flat orthotic can go in its place. The built-in arch support leaves with the insole, so check that your orthotic fills that space.

How tall is the heel?

About 1.1 inches, from a solid block heel. That is slightly taller than a standard dress shoe heel.

Is it a derby or an Oxford?

A derby. The quarters sit over the vamp with open lacing, and the toe is capped. That makes it a touch less formal than a closed-lace Oxford.

What can I wear it with?

Suits, dress trousers and chinos. The mixed finishes and block heel make it too dressy for jeans and sneakers territory.

Does it need polishing?

Yes. The leather upper takes polish, and the mixed finishes look best kept clean. Wipe them down and condition the leather regularly.

Our take on the Kenneth Cole Hector Men's Dress Flat Shoes

The Kenneth Cole Hector is a men's lace-up derby with a cap-toe silhouette and a solid block heel about 1.1 inches high. It mixes leather finishes across the upper for depth, and the padded insole is removable and has built-in flexible arch support. It suits men who want a dress shoe for office days, weddings or formal events but still want cushioning underfoot. Against plain cemented dress derbies, the removable arch-support insole is the main edge; it is a fashion-brand shoe rather than a benchmade one, so expect a stiffer break-in than soft loafers.
