DERBY

A Derby or Gibson (also called a Blücher in America) is a style of shoe characterized by shoelace eyelet tabs that are sown on top of the vamp, a construction method that is also sometimes referred to as "open lacing". Oxfords, in contrast, are characterized by shoelace eyelet tabs that are stitched underneath the vamp.
