In case this is helpful to anyone, I enquired with Cheaney about the difference between F & G fit 125 last and they sent me this table of "approximate" measurements.

Last 125 (F Fit)		Last 125 (G Fit)
Size	Length (mm)	Joint Girth Width (mm)		Size	Length (mm)	Joint Girth Width (mm)
6	274	233		6	274	239
6.5	278	236		6.5	278	242
7	282	239		7	282	245
7.5	286	242		7.5	286	248
8	290	245		8	290	251
8.5	294	248		8.5	294	254
9	298	251		9	298	257
9.5	302	254		9.5	302	260
10	306	257		10	306	263
10.5	310	260		10.5	310	266
11	314	263		11	314	269
11.5	318	266		11.5	318	272
12	322	269		12	322	275
12.5	326	272		12.5	326	278

Thanks for sharing this. I looked at Cheaney's own fitting guide, and the results made no sense (seems to be the same case also with C&Js website guide). With my measurements, according to their website guide, my recommended size would be UK10 H fit, even though all of my shoes are regular UK 8 or UK 8,5. This chart makes more sense.

As promised a couple of photos of my Mocha King boot. The leather has lightened over the five and a half years I've owned them.

And a few others. Please excuse the messy laces. I always have to add longer laces to Cheaney boots and couldn't be bothered to tie them nicely. They're in their "natural" state These are the Elliot2 Mahogany, Milburn in English Tan CXL and a lug sole (it came on an EVA white sole), Richmond ii in Stead Janus suede, Rustique colour and it is the original Vibram Vi-lite sole, Trafalgar in burgundy and original dark leaf colour with Vibram Vi-lite and Tweed with Stead Eco Husk leather and Vibram Vi-lite sole

These Chiswicks arrived today - shoe version of the Richmond. I was tempted by the grain but went for smooth as I have grain Richmonds already.

Apart from the colour, these are identical to my pair for tomorrow's photo. Cheaney often use names of local towns and villages for their boots and shoes. My similar shoes are called Silverstone.

No problem. I think its extremely difficult for manufacturers to issue an accurate size guide because foot shape can make such a huge difference to the size required for the same length feet.

Both the Cheaney and C&J guides are very appropriate for my feet, giving a size 10 and 10.5.

If my big toes pointed outward rather than inward (mine look like I've been walking around barefoot for 40 years), and we're a little narrower, I'd be wearing a size or more smaller.

Conversely, the Meermin size guides would put me in a shoe at least a size (probably more) too small.

Interestingly, both C&J stores I've been to in London have tried to put me in a 9.5 after measuring, which is an entire size too small. I learnt this out the hard way buying my first ever pair of Goodyear welted shoes (some Molton boots) in a 9.5.... took my feet about 6 months to return to normal after the damage done trying to "break them in"...
