Related to my previous question re oxford shoes and derby shoes many thanks

Solitamente le francesine, grazie alla mascherina cucita sopra i gambetti, si adattano meglio a chi ha un piede sottile dal collo basso.
Al contrario, le derby, dove la cucitura della mascherina viene fatta sotto i gambetti, sono ideali per chi ha un piede dal collo alto e dalla pianta larga.

low neck/high neck


Explanation:
Neck: is the part of the shoe that covers the instep. An open neck is what you see in a blucher dress shoe, and a closed neck in the balmoral style. It is the part of the shoe that is at the top of the toe and the front of the instep.
