The Product
Reclaim the natural movement bestowed by the minimalist footwear of the Greek God of War himself, with the deceptively wide toe box and hidden zero-drop heel of the Ares Derby Boot. Its namesake comes from its history - derby boots were worn into battle by almost every army during World War I.
Durable and impeccably-styled, this “service boot” brings the indomitable spirit of warriors of old to your daily pursuit of health and prosperity. Italian styling and barefoot values collide in an unquestionably good looking barefoot dress boot, equally at home in the boardroom or out on the town.

- Care for your Carets by using a shoe cream that allows for conditioning, shine, and water resistance. We recommend Saphir Médaille D'Or Shoe Cream which is made from all natural ingredients.
- Use a shoe horn to slip on your shoes whenever possible.
- After wearing your Carets, properly store them by slipping shoe trees (available at the Outlet Store) inside to help maintain their shape.
- As with all leather, try to avoid water, mud, snow, and salt. If your Carets get dirty, clean them off as soon as possible.
- Be sure to rotate your Carets with other shoes, as even the nicest dress shoes can wear out from constant use.
- Despite their comfort, try to refrain from exercising in your Carets!
Here are our Frequently Asked Questions.
Zero-Drop in Disguise
Carets appear to have a heel, but your foot rests inside it for a zero-drop fit. You get the same natural and upright posture as being barefoot for happy ankles, knees, and back, but with a sophisticated look. Without a heel, other minimalist dress shoes simply don’t look high-end.
