Soft and Comfortable 1940s-Inspired Vintage Suede Derby Shoes
This style features the same design and construction as our popular 1940s-inspired Derby pump, Esther, but with a lower heel. It is perfect for those who love the classic style but prefer or need a lower heel.
Crafted from luxurious suede with a delicate perforated pattern, these classic 1940s-style Derby shoes feature velvet laces and an almond-shaped toe. The low heel is slightly curved, giving the shoes an elegant and feminine silhouette.
The outsoles are made of leather, while the interior features a leather lining and a leather insole with soft, padded inserts for added comfort.
These shoes are perfect for everyday wear and can be paired with skirts, dresses, and wide-leg trousers. They are also ideal for dancing.
The shoes are available in both regular and wide widths.
Name: Esther Low
Colour: Burgundy
Sizes: EU 35–43 / UK 2–10 / US 4–12 – Please refer to the size chart for measurements.
Heel height: 3 cm / 1.18 in
Materials: Suede, leather lining, velour laces, and leather soles.
Brand: memery
Which size is best for me? I recommend following the size chart located under the "Choose Size" box.
Wide or Regular - Which width to choose if both are available? Wide styles are two sizes up in width compared to the regular size. I recommend choosing wide shoes if you usually buy wide-style shoes. My wide styles are an EEE size.
Try at home is my concept. I want you to be happy with your new memery shoe.
Exchange: Should you wish to exchange to another size, please use my Return Center for easy return and to get FREE return label.
Refund: If you wish to do a refund - No worries, I have a money-back guarantee if you want to return your order. Return the shoes through my Return Center, and I will do a refund.
Memery is a shoe brand that produces vintage-style shoes and knitwear inspired by the Edwardian era, the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, in contemporary sizes and with great comfort. Original vintage shoes are often worn out, narrow, and uncomfortable.
Memery shoes have the same elegant designs and details as original vintage shoes (very important to me). Still, at the same time, they are due to the soft soles and breathable materials very comfortable. In addition, memery has a wide range of sizes to suit everyone. - So, for you who love vintage shoes, memery is an excellent choice. The shoes are also a good choice if you are looking for feminine, classic, plain shoes. The shoes are great for all fashions, styles, everyday wear, weddings and party dresses.
🇬🇧 All orders will be shipped from my UK Warehouse.

These shoes are so very comfy. I chose my regular size 3 and they fit perfectly. Lots of compliments from friends. Thank you!
Hi Margaret,
We’re so pleased your Esther shoes are comfy and fit perfectly! It’s lovely to hear they’re earning compliments from your friends. Thanks so much for sharing!

I bought these shoes for set dancing and i have to say they are so comfortable, i danced for 5 hours in them and could have kept going.
They are well made and the extra wide is great for a wide foot, i have also ordered another pair different style(susan) and cant wait for them to arrive .
I had been lusting after Memery shoes for a good while and finally bought these during their summer sale. I bought them in my regular size, which is 39, and they are a perfect fit. I did take them to a shoemaker to add extra non slip soles. I have worn them a lot in the past month and I am very pleased with these shoes. They are comfortable, the heel is a great height. Just enough to give an elegant silhouette but not too high so they hurt after a long day at work. And the color is so unique ans beautiful. It might appear intimidating, but it actually fits a lot of different outfits. I have also gotten compliments on them and questioned where I bought them. Needless to say I recommend the shoes! 💚
Great fit and very smart. Willprobablu buy more of these. I really appreciated how easy you made it to return the pair that didn't fit. Thanks
Perfect for my Mother of the Bride outfit
we're delighted to hear the shoes are perfect for your special occasion. Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback.💕Mette
Memery's shoes are well-crafted, comfortable and elegant - I have already ordered further pairs from this shop.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear you love the shoes and appreciate the craftsmanship. Looking forward to serving you again. 💕 Mette
Hi Deaki, we're happy to hear you love the shoes and that they fit perfectly. Thanks for sharing your wonderful review. 💕 Mette
I absolutely love these shoes.
Hi Melissa, we're thrilled to hear you love the Esther pumps. 💕 Mette
This is my second pair of Esther’s, I have them in pink as well. The only problem with Memery shoes, is choosing which pair to save up for next. These are so incredibly beautiful and the black is so classic. As a Ginger Rogers fan, she often wears black suede shoes in her movies with this same heel. These make me feel like I’m styled after Ginger. They are incredibly comfortable and as with all Memery shoes, the heel is stable and comfortable. I have about 8 pair of Memery shoes now and I am never ever disappointed. Boots next!
Hi Beth, thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you love your Esther shoes and feel inspired by Ginger Rogers. Thanks for being such a loyal customer. 💕 Mette
The most comfortable shoes I have bought.
Bought these for Goodwood Revival and honestly couldn’t have picked a better pair! I’ve had so many people asking where they’re from. They’re incredibly comfortable, even after wearing them for hours, but still look so stylish and put-together. They were the perfect match for my outfit and really completed the whole look. Definitely a pair I’ll be wearing again!
Hi Lynn, we're happy to hear you love the Esther pumps. They sound perfect for your outfit and the event. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for choosing memery. We hope to see you again soon. 💕Mette

Love the style, comfort and colour, I have worn these beautiful shoes on many 1940s weekends including all day as they are so comfortable. And I buy all my 1940s shoes from memory not just for their perfect style but comfort too. Thanks you memory, I’m so looking forward to receiving my new pink side shoes I recently ordered for a tea dance in September.
Hi Lynne,

Love these shoes. Have been looking for these for awhile and I am so glad I finally found them. Expensive but you can see why. Very well made and comfortable.
Hi Marisa, we're glad to hear you love the Esther pumps! Thanks so much for your kind words and support. We hope, you will enjoy wearing them!

My beautiful shoes arrived, well packaged. Was like opening a very special gift. The fit is amazing as ypu can see. Love everything about them.
Beautiful shoes that fitted really well and as a sufferer of flat feet supported in all the right places.
There was a flaw in the suede of the heel but Memery were unable to supply a replacement and nothing else was available in my size as a wide fitting so sadly I returned them
Hi Nicola.
Thank you for your review, I'm happy to hear the Esther shoe provided you with great comfort for your flat feet. I'm sorry to hear you received flawed shoes. Our shoes are handmade and sometimes mistakes unfortunately happens. I'm glad to hear you found our customer service helpful, but of course sorry to hear we don't have your size in stock. I hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Best Ditte
Esther sko str. 35W - jeg er meget glad og bruger dem næsten hver dag på arbejde; lidt mindre nu hvor jeg også har et par Emily :o)
Jeg har små, men ikke smalle fødder, og har i årtier søgt efter sko og støvler med hæl, der er til at holde ud i mere end et par timer ad gangen; memery giver mig pæne sko med vidde uden extra længde.
Kære Dorthe. Hvor er det dejligt at høre at du er glad for vores sko, og de brede modeller passer dig perfekt. Tak for din fine anmeldelse, det sætter vi stor pris på. Hilsen DItte
I bought these (wide) as wedding shoes and they fit very well! They really made it througout the whole day and completed my outfit in the best way. Thank you Mette and Memery shoes ♡

Hi Fia. Thank you for the wonderful photo of you in our Esther shoes, you look absolutely stunning! Hope you had an amazing day. Best Ditte
I can't say enough about how beautiful this 1940's suede Esther pump is in Powder Rose. It is a very soft pink with lovely velvet shoe laces. The fit and comfort are perfect. I could not be happier with this selection.
Dear Rose. Thank you for your kind words, the Esther shoes looks lovely with the dresses you have paired them with. Best Ditte
I use the shoes in my role in musical 40-45 in the Netherlands .
The fit is great specialiteit bevissen I have to Run en dance in the show .
Hi Marjoleine.
We're glad to hear that our Esther shoes are working well for your role in the theater show. We designed them specifically with comfort and movement in mind, so we're happy to hear they are meeting your needs. best ditte
I measured my feet and ordered size according to the guidelines online. They fit perfectly, and I am so proud to be the owner of such an elegant and comfortable pair of shoes.
Thank you for leaving a review for our Esther shoes, and thank you for the lovely picture. We hope you enjoy your new shoes! Best Ditte
I bought the Sage green in wide size 3 and am thrilled that they fit so well. They arrived only a day before a 1940s event, so no time to wear in. I did get a hot spoon on the back of the heel, and the hairdryer over my widest part, but honestly, if you had time to wear them in, even my wide feet wouldn't need that. For a brand new pair, they were pretty good comfort wise, and everybody noticed them. I would say that the green is distinctive rather than subdued, but I love them and am thrilled to have shoes that fit because most companies don't make my size. (Which is normally a 3.5 wide, but Memery size 3 is right. I went by the measurement chart they supply.)
Hi Louise. We are glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase of our Esther shoes. Thank you for the lovely picture, we hope you had a wonderful time at the 1940s event. Best Ditte
Purchased these shoes to complement my 1940s style outfit , imagine my delight when my broad feet together with bunions slid beautifully inside beautifully soft leather , nestling comfortably ... ahh bliss ... i was able to wear these shoes for 6 hours with no isssues , highly recommend .
I will be purchasing more shoes from this brand .
Dear Angela.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy to hear that our Esther Derby shoes were the perfect addition to your 1940s style outfit, and we'll be happy to have you as a returning customer. Thank you for the picture, you look wonderful! Best Ditte
Very impressed with this shoe. The fit was spot on right out of the box. The style is fabulous and the suede color beautiful. Happy feet!
Dear Fonda.
How lovely to hear they fit you right out of the box! Thank you for the lovely pictures. Best DItte
I bought these shoes on august-september of 2023, so I've been wearing them for some 9 months :) They are really elegant and also very comfy: I've had long walks in these although they are heels after all. I'll add a couple of pictures of how they look today :) Only drawback I see is that before wearing them you need to check for weather. I don't go out in these if it's raining because of leather outsole.
Hi Eva
Thank you so much, we're so happy to hear that you find our Esther shoe elegant and comfortable at the same time. All our shoes, besides our sandals and some winter boots, have leather soles, as true vintage shoes does. We recomend giving the soles leather care regularly, it helps resist the rain. You can purchase our own brand of leather care online, if you want.

I love shoes! These shoes are delicious, like beautiful red berries at Christmas.... they are beautiful. They are soft to the touch, and soft on the skin. No worrying about blisters or sore heels.They are the perfect height, and I am in love with them! Of course I love the compliments I get when I wear them .... and I love saying... 'they're vintage, you know'
You will love them too... guaranteed! They are worth every penny, dont worry!
I wore these straight out of the box thanksgiving day. They were comfortable all day long. I had to buy a half size up but was able to add an extra foot pad. I hope someday you will make half sizes. I would recommend your shoes.
This is the first not-flat shoe I’ve owned in years, and I was kinda worried about the heel height. However, I barely feel the difference! At first they felt a bit narrow, (and wearing shoes in is tough for me - if they’re uncomfy I’m just not wearing them, period) so I asked Mette if they could be stretched by a cobbler. She responded promptly that yes, and the cobbler had no problems widening them! He also complimented the very soft high-quality leather. :) Now these are my go-to shoes for skirts and dresses, I couldn’t be happier. Thank you!
