Yeah, I am not sure if it's C&J too. Should this help?

IIRC, Cheaney's all say "Made in Leather Sole England" on the footbed.


There is no "Made in Leather Sole England", but I guess it's not C&J for sure. Thanks.

To make sure we are talking about the same area, I'm not talking about on the heel pad. I am talking about halfway down the shoe on the leather insole (could be partially covered by the heel pad).

Yes, we're on the same page, since I do have a pair of Brooks Brothers by Cheaney.

As you can see these need re-crafting but I'm not sure who made them. I bought them in New & Lingwood in about 2003 but I have no idea if they actually made the shoes or whether they were out-sourced:

Thanks for any help!

Edit: I don't live anywhere UK and time difference makes calling N&L a bit of an issue.

Fairly certan those are C&J. They make shoes for N&L, and the writing is consistent with C&J Mainline shoes.

Is anyone familiar with this BB line? There was apparently a silver label "Hand Tailored" line, but the label was completely different. This was made in USA.
