j crew mens ludlow derby dress shoes black

For the best fit, we recommend ordering a half size down from your usual size. Built with premium materials... - plus hard-wearing details, our new dress shoes are the perfect foundation for Ludlow suits, chinos or denim. We start with thick Italian leather insoles, a cork-bed filler that molds to your foot for a custom fit and a Goodyear welt, so you can resole them again and again. We use Italian leather that is vegetable tanned, a process with thousands of years of history that gives the leather depth and a natural look and feel, which improves with age. Emerging from England in the 19th century, the derby is almost indistinguishable from the blucher (there's a slight variance in the piece of leather where you can find your derby's eyelets)—they both step away from the oxford in their open-lacing systems, allowing for greater flexibility. Leather upper, lining and sole. Imported. Select stores. Item AH880. Great condition. Only signs of wear on the bottom
