Ted Baker Men's Martt 2 Derbys

I own two pair of Ted Baker shoes and can honestly say, they are the most comfortable dress shoes I’ve ever owned. They are beautifully crafted with soft leather. The shoes are distinctively British and of very cool design. These brown Marrt2 shoes have a more youthful look to them as they have a more narrow point. Everyone compliments the shoes. They are simply beautiful.

Summary:Sharp looking shoes. I may have bought a half size too big but it is usually very hard to buy shoes online (I hover around EU40 - 42 depending on shoe type and brand so your mileage may vary). Nonetheless, it looks and feels good when worn but may require some break in around the sides. Comes with 2 different lace colours (purple and brown, unwaxed laces). Heel is flat and without texture (slippery) while front has a decent grip.Pros:+ Looks good when worn, sharp toes and a tad bit longer than most Derby type shoes.+ Leather is of seemingly good quality (may update if anything happens)+ Good buy for 65 pounds (office use) but I still say that details wise, Ferragamo shoes are better if you can get them.+ Comes with box.Cons:- Laces supplied are ok but gives off a casual look. One can use the purple lace to spice it up but I would go to M&S and get the 2.5 pound black waxed laces (amazon ok also) for a more formal look.- Fit is more or less expected but without trying an EU 41 (UK size 7.5) I will not be able to give any good comments. For reference, I can certainly wear the size 8 but feels slightly loose.- Derby shoes are always nice but the leather lines will always appear after some (any) use. Mine came a little scuffed (not noticeable unless you look very closely) but not much you can do about it.- Only 2 holes per side so fancy lacing techniques cannot really be used.

Need I say more? I got 2 years (including a lot of walking) out of the original Martts. I now spare these the lomg walks home, and hope for years of wear.

I already own a pair of Ted Baker brogues and they are like walking on air so I was very disappointed to find that these were woefully tight.I don't consider myself to have a particularly wide foot, I buy shoes in size 9 and they fit, simple as that - but these are designed for a very narrow fitting, I wore them up the road to the shops and couldn't wait to get back to take them off.The looks however is good, it's a much more simple show, no fancy details and while the toe section goes into a slightly longer point than I would have liked (narrow feet might suit ts a lot better) it is still a very nice show though slightly less classic than the brogue

It’s exactly what I wanted.

The shoe looks good however it’s quality seems questionable. Or maybe I got a defective one.I have had it for about 4 months and it’s now got a hole at the tip of the shoe.I had to get a cobbler to apply glue to it on my way to work simply to save me of the embarrassment.I have never had a shoe with a hole in it. I hope my toes won’t be out soon

These are a lovely shade of brown with a slightly blackened toe. There are laces in purple and brown. The leather is high quality, thin and best worn with suits or smart casual wear. Mr debbie8355 has very wide feet and although they are narrow shoes they still fit without distorting the shoe and still giving comfort.

Great shoes, fantastic quality for the price.
