Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

[Afinepairofshoes]

Thanks, was thinking whether a rubber half-sole is needed. never tried AS shoes before

This will definitely add wear/grip to your boots when fitted.

Anyone know if these are Made by AS?

 

[circumspice]

I think perhaps Cheaney due to how the soles are done

I put my money on Crockett & Jones given price ange and expected specifications. The numbers don't add up for other makers. AS handgrade is no more, Cheaney Imperial cost less.

My money is also on C&J given that the nail pattern matches the C&J Handgrade models that I have, and is markedly different from AS. Nice looking boot - I’ll be looking out for them next BB sale.

It’s C&J, if the model pictured.

Thanks gentlemen. I didn't know C&J did closed channel soles.

View attachment 907304 As of yesterday, I have now joined the AS family by welcoming both the Hannover and Cambridge onto my feet. I looked at boots from many different makers and decided that both of these best fit the criteria for what I was looking for. Regarding fit, I am a US 8.5D and struggled with deciding between a 7 and 7.5. I ended up ordering the 7, as my goal was to wear these with dress socks rather than thicker socks. Out of the box, they fit snug, but not tight. Very pleased with both the fit and finish.

This post is just flat out gorgeous

Makes it very hard for me to consider a $170 resole for my CJ connistons.

I looked really hard at the Conniston going in, and thought that is what I would end up with. In the end though, just couldn’t justify the extra $200, especially considering the harsh winters I face living in MN.

They are great boots, the quality and craftsmanship is something you can feel every time you but a new pair of AS is Only 100 to 150more than a resole.
I’m no mathematician but the value delta starts to lean towards the Sargent. Particularly since I keep hearing great things about their quality as well

I can vouch for the quality. I've tried on Conistons and have to say the leather was nowhere near as supple as the Cambridge. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of CnJ but in this instance I think the Cambridge a better choice by far.

@muddy250 ... One might forever discuss if "less is more".
What will be always true is that Moore is more!
Beautiful shine, BTW. Luigi.
