Description

*The grain varies from pair to pair so please do get in touch about the grain on your size if you are concerned.

The Ludlow boots from John Lofgren are a plain bump toe military inspired pair of boots, the same boot as their very popular combat boots but with out the cap toe for more of a casual take on a classic. Couple this everyday do and wear with everything boot with the stunning Timber shade of Shinki Horsebutt and you’ve got a real stand out classic pair of everyday boots that will look superb with some rolls and wear.

The Shinki Horesbutt is a beautiful leather. Really is. It is thick and stiff on first try but in no time becomes very comfortable and pliable. The grain is mixed from heavier grain through to fairly smooth with the signature Horsebutt small creases. Each pair (left and right) will be very similar to each other though and if you would like detail on your size then please just ask. This leather will age beautifully and it is very tough stuff t’boot.

The last used is the 120. It has a nice slim waist with a rounded and high volume shaped toe, it feels snug throughout the foot (as it should be when sized correctly) with plenty toe wiggle room.

Comfort: These are extremely comfortable boots from the moment you slide your foot in. They have that immediate glove like feel. The leather feels thick but very supple and the heel is well balanced giving you a sure footed work boot like feel underfoot. They feel great on.

Construction & finish: The best materials and construction methods have been used in these boots, just see the DETAILS tab. The stitching is very neat and uniform and as with all John Lofgren boots the sole trim is even and nicely finished.

If you want a boot that is comfortable and solid, are beautiful, will outlast you and that you can pair with almost anything, this is your pair.

Sizing information

The John Lofgren Ludlow Boots fit very similar to UK sizes and fit similarly to the JL Engineer boots internally with a bit more volume above the ball and toes. The same last is used for the Combat boots. They are marked E width and are snug/ average in the heel and waist with fairly good width and volume from the ball to rounded toe area. The Shinki leather will not give and stretch as much as the CXL on their other boots so it might be worth going the half size up if you are in between sizes. An 8 US in the Ludlow Boots fit similar to: JL Engineer: 8 JL M43: 8 JL Donkey Puncher: 7.5 JL Chukka: 8.5 (8 is more comparable in length but these fit very close/ tighter) Rolling Dub Trio Coupen/ Stan Last: 7.5 US Red Wing Iron Ranger: 8 - 8.5 US (7 - 7.5 UK) Viberg: 7.5 - 8 (2030 and 2040 last) White's Boots: 7.5-8 D width Attractions engineers: 8- 8.5 US Truman Boots (updated last): 8 - 8.5 Trickers (and majority of British brands): 7.5-8 G/F Please get in touch with any sizing questions you may have.

Exchanges:

Please follow the same steps as for refunds with the exception of:

Please inform us by email that you wish to exchange for a different size/ item and if in stock we will reserve your exchange item for you or alternatively order your size/ item in especially for you (subject to availability).

Any subsequent exchanges will incur normal shipping charges, which will be payable prior to the item being shipped. We will contact you with shipping costs.

EU EXCHANGES: Unfortunately we cannot cover the import fees (VAT/ Any duty) for the exchanged import to the EU. We cannot recoup the costs of the initial import and so therefore it would mean too much of a loss for a small business like ours. We will make it very clear on the exchange paperwork that it is an exchange and be as helpful on the paperwork as it allows so that the fee’s are kept to a minimum.
