Spotted these at a car boot sale couldn't believe it. Brand new GJ Cleverley with no signs of wear at with show trees. Picked them up for £25
400
[/IMG]although slightly small. Anyone any idea of the leather and whether it's the 1786 Russian Reindeer? Also can anyone pinpoint the size from the code? Also picked up a pair of loafers also brand new that for perfect!

The grain pattern doesn't look quite right to me. How do they smell? The genuine stuff supposedly has a very distinctive smell

They do smell pretty unusual although I think they've been recently polished or treated! Any idea how to pinpoint the size from the code on the inside? It's hand written so assuming they're bespoke.

I think that the leather might be mountain ram, I've seen a few Cleverley shoes made out of the stuff. The pattern on Metta Catharina is, from what I've seen, a bit more geometrical, lacking a better term.

If they're bespoke they won't have a size. Contact Cleverly and see if they can give some insight into them

Sorry man, no clue. But I just dropped 200 on a pair of GC loafers from B&S you got a bargain any way you look at it! What do the soles look like?

Can't see any nail pattern on the heel. I'd contact Cleverley with the code in the lining.
Great boots, what size do you usually wear? :D
