Fits true to size based on
45 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
Customers love the Ludlow derbys for their sharp look, versatile style, and generally good leather quality, with several saying they feel comfortable and well-made. The biggest recurring concern is a loud squeaking issue that shows up after a short period of wear, so many customers would recommend checking for that before committing. Sizing seems a bit inconsistent, with some customers suggesting going a half size down while others found them a little roomy or wide. Overall, the shoes get strong style points, but the noise problem is the main thing holding them back.

Last pair of j crew shoes I buy
May 4, 2025After two years, i can confirm these are the most uncomfortable shoes I have owned, in any category. They are brutal on your feet, they never broke in, and i am throwing them away tonight. Listen carefully: under no circumstances should you buy these.

Garbage Shoes
December 21, 2024I bought these for work at the end of September for a new job I was starting in November. Didn’t wear them until I started the new job. Beautiful looking shoe but that’s where it ends. Let’s just say I could sneak up in anyone at a rock concert with these shoes on. The speaking is unbearable. I took them to a cobbler who had a look and said he would have to resole the shoe. Don’t waste your money. The fact the J. Crew is still selling them is embarrassing. Trying to get customer service to help me was a challenge and I still don’t know if they will reimburse me on return. If I could give zero stars I would.
