Ludlow derbys in suede
plus hard-wearing details, our new dress shoes are the perfect foundation for Ludlow suits, chinos or denim. We start with thick 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. Plus, we use supple suede uppers that take on their own character the longer you wear them. Emerging from England in the 19th century, the derby is almost indistinguishable from the blucher—they both step away from the Oxford in their open-lacing systems, allowing for greater flexibility.

Great pair of shoes
4 days agoGreat pair of shoes for the price. Proper goodyear welted. The only thing I disliked is how wide the toe box is. For reference, I wear 8D and the size 8 is slightly too wide.

Squeak squeak squeak.
2 weeks agoThese shoes look great - but the squeak makes them almost unbearable. They squeak at the heel and under the ball of my foot. I’ll have to take them to a cobbler to get it fixed.

Nice Shoes
December 4, 2025The quality and style is great -- but the squeak is there! It is in the leather bottom sole of the shoe, soa resole would get rid of it, but it must be something with the leather they used or the construction of it. nonetheless, not too big of a deal, if you get it on sale.

Premium, but not practical
November 16, 2025These shoes have a great look and feel, but are sized way too large- a full size down from your normal would be the minimum to downsize. The soles are very stiff as well.
