The derby silhouette has a fascinating history behind it: The style, which began as hunting shoes back in the mid-1800s, has now become a city staple you could wear on the town. Fans of the style swear by its classic versatility, and this pair of on-sale Cole Haan derby shoes is about as classic as it gets.

Thanks to Nordstrom’s anniversary sale, you can grab the Cole Haan Carnegie Cap Toe Derby Shoes for $150 instead of the original $220 asking price. Additionally, both the black and British Tan colorways are on sale, so you can get a pair in the color that best matches your wardrobe.

Starting at the top, these derbies are made using a mix of soft natural leather and synthetic material, with an open-laced design that’s just timeless. For extra support, you’re getting a cushioned insole that can be removed for easy maintenance or if you want to add inserts. On the bottom, the flexible rubber sole is enhanced with grooves to keep you from slipping on more iffy terrain.

If you’re worried that these dress shoes won’t be comfortable, one reviewer vouched for their comfort, saying, “Told my boyfriend to look into Cole Haan for dress shoes for work. He absolutely loves these. He’s typically a size 10 in shoes, but went down to a 9 in these, and they work perfectly. He said these were astonishingly comfortable for dress shoes, and he felt the insoles made him feel like it was also helping his posture.”

Break-in time is also low, with shoppers saying, “I wore them to a wedding for their first outing, and they were very comfortable with no breaking needed,” and that they’re “comfortable right out of the box.”

The Cole Haan Carnegie Cap Toe Derby Shoes can be yours for just $150, but Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale won’t last forever, and a deal this good won’t either.
