I have 2 pairs - reverse calf (brown) and burnished calf (chestnut). They hold up very well ... solid everyday business shoe ... typical of English-made, welted shoes. I don't have pictures. I would suggest that you should go down by 1 full shoe size with Connaught's.

Ya, I tried them on in Barneys this past week and a 9 fit when I generally wear a 10. I was gonna order them from Plal shortly. I got a pair of CJs on the 337 last and a 9.5 fit, although the 236 last I thought looked sleeker, but i guess not.

On a side note, does CJ make good shoe trees, I was told they were overpriced.

C&J shoe trees are decent - I would probably agree that they are overpriced.

My favorite trees are for EG on 888 last.

No problems to report.
