The Ludlow modernizes the classic wino style once worn only by the most rugged of skate rats and skate spot lurkers. This innovation combines hardcore performance elements with the refined lines of a contemporary loafer.
I wore these for the first time to class the other day and got a lot of compliments. They really need to be broken in because wearing them for a long period of time because they are a little stiff but it's not unbearable. Love how they look with dark denim. They hurt a little when the material rubbled against my ankle from the rough material but after that gets worn down it should be fine. Overall, I love the product and would for sure purchase something similar again.

These shoes look amazing. They have a unique look that goes great with jeans and when dressing up.
Unfortunately, they do seem to run about half a size too large, as my 8.5 LPE's fit perfectly and these in an 8.5 are just a hair too large.
The arch support is also pretty poor and I can feel the inner soles putting pressure on the bottom of my feet, which is not very comfy for a long day.
All in all, I love the style of these shoes way too much to send them back. I have gotten so many compliments in just a few days. If these come back in stock in your size, I recommend you buy them!

Comments about Military Ludlow, Men:
While wearing these shoes, I do not need to feel out of place. I can easily rock the average teen look as well as flip 180 degrees to speak to a representative from a large and prestigious school. Take into consideration that I am a Senior in High School. These shoes give comfort all the while not lacking or straying away from the stylish look that I have while wearing them with khakis. This classic look is so simple anyone can pull it off. These shoes help in achieving such. The only time I have has to modify these shoes in any way is when I spray on the rain and stain cleaner. This prevents from any water damage on the leather itself and on the nice fiber of the rest of the shoe. I have worn these time and time again and yet, they keep their clean, fresh, new look. I can reassure anyone that these shoes are by far the best product I have worn from Vans. I started my Vans career back in 4th grade. 8 years and I am finally pleased with Vans on this product that I just had to write my review.
Very appealing shoe. Priced reasonably and very stylish for everyday school wear. Bought 2 pairs of Vans shoes for my son this Christmas and this is his favorite pair out of the two. Very happy with the men's styles and will continue to order more. Purchasing from Vans online has always been a very positive experience.
Free Returns. All the time. Return at any Vans Retail Store or by Mail. See Details.
