Style | Beckett Simonon Review | Dunham Derbies
Hey it’s Derek with Derek Grown Man Style!
The power of organic marketing via style influencers can’t be emphasized more than in how I discovered the shoe company Beckett Simonon. I found Beckett Simonon through another popular IG influencer Chris Mehan. By the time he mentioned BS I was thoroughly plugged into his every post and greatly influenced by his clothing recommendations.
Upon shopping on the BS website and finding the Dunham derbies on sale (2 for $300), I dared not pass up the opportunity to upgrade my shoe game and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I bought the brown and tan finishes and they are by far my workhorse shoes for everything every day wear.When you slip on this shoe for the first time you know you’re wearing a real man’s shoe. This isn’t a featherweight piece of leather. This is a solid shoe with the weight of excellent construction, yet comfortable for all day wear. I felt like I had finally stepped into a quality piece of footwear that would be with me for years.
Almost a year later these shoes have stood up to weekly workwear, multi-day trips where these where the only pair of shoes I brought and just everyday punishment of usage. The pebbled grain finish is by far its greatest asset for being a reliable shoe.

Some interesting facts about Beckett Simonon that make this company a standout among online shoe manufacturers:
The uppers and linings are made of Argentinian full grain leather, hand-made one at a time.
Resoleable Blake construction.
Sturdy and resoleable leather soles.
Extra durable leather heel stacks.
Rubber heel caps for better traction.
Waxed cotton laces.
Dust bags included - one for each shoe which I think is a big deal. I don’t want my beautiful shoes rubbing against each other as their resting in the box.
They are a Make To Order Shoe Company - It takes approximately 8-10 weeks to make and ship a pair of shoes - from the sourcing of the leather, the cutting and tanning to the actual construction of the shoes - it is a meticulous process.
Think you can’t wait that long for something this good? Trust me you can and you won’t regret it. The great news is that they send you updates along the way to keep the excitement and anticipation up throughout the entire process.
They offer great deals on their shoes throughout the month. You can save 20% on your first pair by using discount code DJSTYLE20. Click on the link below to shop and be sure to tag me on Instagram @derekgrownmanstyle when you post a pic of your new BS shoes.
