J Crew Ludlow cap toe leather oxfords BS551

This Ludlow oxford is our version of a bench-made dress shoe... - constructed using the same methods as some of the world's best shoemakers. With the aim of creating the foundation for any black-tie, Ludlow look, our designers spared no detail on these classic oxfords. From a supple, leather lining to a hint of pinking (aka a zigzagged edge) on the cap toe, this oxford is carefully considered down to the last detail. Fun fact: Cap toe oxfords are sometimes called Balmorals, a name derived from Scotland's Balmoral Castle, where legend has it that Prince Albert invented the style, which would later evolve into the dress shoe we know today. Leather upper, lining and sole. Imported. Select stores. Item BS551.
