Mephisto Air-Relax plain-toe derby shoes in burgundy/oxblood pebble-grain leather. Size tag says 8.5 but I'm a 9.5 and they fit me fine, so they run a bit generous or true to size depending on your foot — go by that if you're between sizes.
Four-eyelet derby lacing with matching burgundy round laces, rounded plain toe, moderately wide comfort last. Metal MEPHISTO logo plate on the lateral quarter. Insole stamped MEPHISTO AIR-RELAX, GOODYEAR, CUIR VERITABLE, GENUINE LEATHER, MADE IN FRANCE. Tan leather insole. Goodyear-welted construction with visible welt stitching and a storm-welt style edge, chunky black rubber commando-type outsole with a low heel block.
Condition: light creasing across the vamp from normal wear, and some minor scuffing along the edge of the rubber sole and heel. Nothing structural, just cosmetic and expected for a worn pair. No damage to the welt or stitching that I can see.
These retail for a lot new — Mephisto isn't cheap, and this style gets compared to Paraboot derbies a lot in terms of build quality and that chunky sole.
Shoe trees in the photos are props and not included. No size tag issues to worry about since the size is printed inside, but fit as noted above. Ask if you want more photos or specific measurements before buying.
