While running around during Fashion Week, a certain shoe kept catching our eye—though it wasn't on the runway as much as it was on the male attendees. The "stacked derby" is reminiscent of a creeper shoe, but more refined with rounded toes and sleek uppers. The additional sole can bump your look up a notch—literally—with its subtle edge. We picked eight great soles from Acne Studios, Red Wing, Zara; see them all after the jump.
