Ah, ok. I guess I was trying to compare the new retail catalog to last years stock catalog.

Anyone have a "real" pic of the 358 next to a 337? The Selborne does look nice...

Isn't the 358 the same LAST as the 348? Just the handgrade version?

But less pointy that the 348? Sounds like its between the 337 & 348. Need pic comparisons.........

I really like the 358 last . . . Anyone have a sizing chart for c & J lasts?

Based on the top-down pics I've seen, the toe is more elongated and has a narrower toe box on the 358.

If you do a search there's been quite a bit of discussion about C&J sizing adjustments. As a rule of thumb it's size down 1 from your Allen Edmonds size, but there are always exceptions. There is an official C&J sizing chart in the catalog referenced above, which follows a half-size down rule, which is what Pediwear also advocates.

The Edgeware looks unbalanced to me--the throat is shorter and the vamp longer.

You do have a point. Their cost has been reduced, yet they are paid the same amount of MYR from buyers.

I agree, at least looks that way in my catalog.

Too pointy. Not a fan. I like the 337 the best.

 

[nmprisons]

can you get the shoe in any color leather, or only the one pictured?

Yep. Of the C&J lasts I like the 337 and the 341 best.

The shoe pictured looks like a bad interpretation of the pointy G&G last (TG73?).
