I've also located some brown suede Joseph Cheaney derbyoxford shoes. Unfortunately they are an 8.5 (I'm a 9), we'll see how they go. Worst comes to worst, I'll return them 
Why on earth would you knowingly buy shoes in the wrong size? For half a size, worth a punt. If they fit ok - great, if not - they get returned.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Sorry about the crap phone pics. Essentially this in brown suede.
Unlike the two tones, it doesn't say 'Goodyear Welted' on the sole so maybe these aren't (though I note the ones in the link above are labelled GW). Perhaps this omission on the sole, means they failed QC and hence ended up in TK Maxx so poor people like me can buy them.

Most makers don't advertise the construction method on their shoes so I wouldn't take the omission to mean they aren't GYW. The stitching on the sole wouldn't be needed if they weren't welted so you know they are.
I don't imagine Cheaney make blake-stitched or cemented construction shoes so if they fit quite a bargain.

They look welted, isn't that the rubber bit on the top of the outsole?
It's to do with the construction of the shoe:http://www.primermagazine.com/2014/spend/understan...

Thanks IR. Most makers don't advertise the construction method on their shoes so I wouldn't take the omission to mean they aren't GYW. The stitching on the sole wouldn't be needed if they weren't welted so you know they are.

I thought/expected they would be GYW. Looking at the Cheaney website it seemed the lack of GYW labelling on the sole was an exception to the rule hence me asking the question.
Looking inside, I don't see any evidence of a Blake stitching.
I'm happy with them.

thanks for that. As your diagram confirms and as I said, the welt is the rubber bit on the top of the outsole,

A welt can be a variety of materials though. It's the process rather than the material that makes it welted.

Edit to add:
I may have accidentally ordered another pair.

)I was gonna go down to that London to try them on, but it's an online only shop, so I'm gonna have to figure out the size and hope for the best.
