VERY GOOD Grant Stone x J. Crew Ludlow Derby Brown Calf Bench Made 12 D

"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, durable 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 leather that is vegetable-tanned, a process with thousands of years of history that gives the leather depth and a natural look and feel that improves with age. Emerging from England in the nineteenth 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." Bench made in China by Grant Stone for J. Crew. Pre-owned in VERY GOOD condition; very good uppers + original outsoles and heels; light wear and some very light color variation throughout (as pictured)
