Nice pick up, they no don't offer this in GYW through the patina service anymore and it comes on the 401 last in Blake.

I am guessing you picked it up through a stockist or even their site that actually had them in stock! Wear them well!

I just received a pair of CS derby 9381 from AFPOS in their recent 20% off sale. And I have to say they are nice choices at this price range. The shoes coming in with a slight shine on them, so they look quite good. The last is 397 last, which is a wider last, so better to size half down if you have slim feet. The colour is Guimaraes, a kind of dark brown with a bit of chestnut, and it appears to be a bit reddish compared to Coimbra.

Hello.
I have a lot of shoes by Allen Edmonds and was thinking about trying CS.
I wear a 13B in the AE 65 last, and was curios how that might work. Which lasts would be better for my narrow foot with a lower instep?

I saw a pair of chukkas for sale. These are Santos by Carlos Santos.

I don’t understand the last that they’re built on (747?) or how they might fit. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.

You have a narrow foot. The Chukkas are usually on the 401 last, and the old ones were on the 160 I think. If you have more pictures it would help. The last is written on the side of the box.

it will not fit you with such a narrow foot sorry.

Carlos Santos is not for you. They don't do narrow last.
Thanks Seb, we discussed it in DMs as many times I don't trust Brannock, but we also found out that listing on eBay he was looking at was a total mess!

It depends on the last, if you are a snug fit on the rain I would take UK 6.5 on the 316 Field Boots. But looking at your AE last size if 8.5D fits fine then a UK 7 would fit good too. Based on what you say if you are more consistently a US 8.5D I would pick the UK 7

I was looking at this shoe. I didn't know the field boot came in different lasts.

That’s my shop :) I have made a GMTO in the 401 last that’s why I am asking!
