** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
The first few wears will always beat up the toe the most. After that, it will stabilize and wear slower. I also have a gait which wears out the toe faster than the rest of the sole. After a year or so, I will ask my local cobler to replace the toe of the sole with a new piece of leather or...- Tuur

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
Hi guys. Small sizing question. I have a 7.5 UK in most C&J-shoes (348, 363) but size up half a size for the Coniston (325-last) to compensate for the shorter length. Now I would like to buy an oxford with more toe room then on the 348 or 363 last and I have my eye on the new Connaught in...- Tuur

Hello. Sorry to bore you guys with a sizing question. I know most members recommend to size down half a size from Grant-last to Barrie-last. I have boots in the Grant last in US 8.5D which are are fine overall but a bit snug at the end of the day (pinky toe). Sizing down alf a size to Barrie (to...- Tuur

Hi If the 348-last fits you, then take the same size in the 363-last. The 363-last is elongated like the 348-last so lenghtwise probably the same. In my experience, the 348-last is narrower then the 363-last. So if 363-last fits you, you should probably want to try on a 348-lasted shoe first...- Tuur

Hmm.. I'm a 7,5UK in the elongated C&J-lasts like the 348 and I had to go up half a size for my Coniston's on the 325 last. The 325 last is not elongated so it's possible you should size up half a size. But if I understand you correctly you would size down half a size? Make sure the Grasmere's...- Tuur

Small question: I recently tried some Alden's plain toe bluchers on the barrie last. I really liked the fit in the toe area, but found that the heel counter was cutting in my heel a bit, probably because the heel cup on the Alden bluchers is pretty low (?). Is this something that will...- Tuur

Small question: who has Alden's on the barrie last in both lined and unlined make-up? Do you size down for the unlined ones? I ask because I have a low instep. If unlined shoes stretch more than the lined ones then I could risk that the lacing of the shoes closes completely so that I won't be...- Tuur

Yep, shoes & shirts in holland. If you look at the Alden size chart (google 'alden lasts') then it appears that Aberdeen would be the narrowest last and the last with the least volume, while the grant is a real true to size last. I don't like my shoes too snuggy so no Aberdeen for me (maybe I...- Tuur

According to the shop, these are made on the Aberdeen last and not the Grant last. That means I'll have to pass (these will be to small). Pity. I'm looking for a suede boot in the Grant last, or slighty wider last. Who has links to online shops in Europe that sell Alden (I'm very familiar with...- Tuur

Hi guys Small question, I saw these beauties, but info says that they are made on the 808-last. I've never heard of that last. To me, they look like they've been made on the Grant-last. Can somebody help me out? I'll only want to buy them if they are made on the Grant-last or a last that is...- Tuur

Got me some Handgrades (Millbank) in the Brussels-store sale! First pair of Handgrades so I'm curious to expierence the difference with the mainline. PS: I also had a question. Does it ever happen that C&J make a specific style in more than one last. For example, would they make the Coniston...- Tuur
