That's a good look. That picture leads me to consider wearing some bluchers with jeans.
good picture Bishop.never seen that before and I'm a Sean fan too...
You're a pal Viv. Thanks for ordering those for me!!
Don't even mention it. I just wish I could recall all the stuff that comes to mind when I'm away from the intraweb. By the time I get on here I haven't the foggiest recollection of some fast fleeting tune. I will sometimes literally stop in my tracks at work and come here specifically to post some catchy ditty.

Oh. I always thought derbys and bluchers were synonymous. Two words for the same type of shoe. I've always just called them derbys, but seems everyone on here always calls them bluchers. Also heard it referred to as a Gibson. What's the distinguishing characteristic?

That doesn't really help me. Can anyone else weigh in on this? For instance Allen Edmonds lists all their shoes on their website as derbys, not bluchers. You search "blucher" and nothing even comes up. And they're a US company.
I found something - it is in German, but probably Google Translation works out for you...

The two pics comparing the Derby and the Blucher at the end of that page show the difference quite clearly

That makes the distinction clear. I would just call a shoe with open lacing a derby, or blucher, and have never made that distinction based on the arch from the heel. Forgive me, I'm not really a shoe guy.
Again though, I see what is being described there as a derby often described as a Blucher and vice versa. Maybe it's an American confusion.
