Sale. These boots came from the factory shop this morning. 175 last in plough suede.
The factory shop sells a lot of 2nds, off brand, end of runs etc. not on the website. Good stuff but often different in small details from the website stock available in their other stores.
That's likely the case. And I've just purchased the Bodiley Ubury Loafer in Brown Calf but I'm concerned about the fit of BOD214 (Cheaney 214). I did a quick google search and found that you had purchase one too a few years ago. I went true-to-size but I'm hoping that the vamp isn't too short. I bought this with intention to replace my Alden loafer which has a very short vamp - exposing too much of my instep. Do you still wear those loafer? How does it fit across the heel and what about the length of the vamp?
Does anyone here own both Cheaney and Crockett and Jones? And why are Cheaney so under appreciated? Do they produce sub-par shoes for what they're charging? I would like objective opinions from more recent purchase.
Most Cheaney lasts are thoroughly uninteresting. It's the same reason Tricker's is ......
I don't like the way C&J fits my feet, so I can't comment on those from an ownership perspective, but my Cheaney and Carmina are of very comparable quality.
Cheaney is better value for what they offer comparing to CJ, which is a much stronger brand and I find to be a bit overpriced.Does anyone here own both Cheaney and Crockett and Jones?

I have several pairs of both. Cheaney's offering straddles a greater price band than C&J, so that at the lower price ranges, the shoes are still noticeably better than my Loake, and at the top end, indistinguishable from C&J. As to why Cheaney are less prominent here and across social media, it may be in part due to the fact that the current owners have not had the brand very long. It may also be that they are operating in a crowded market. I'm very happy to recommend Cheaney, and am somewhat envious of @Northants bloke access to the factory shop.Does anyone here own both Cheaney and Crockett and Jones?

I’ve a couple of Cheaney boots and find the fit and finish to way outweigh the price point.Does anyone here own both Cheaney and Crockett and Jones? And why are Cheaney so under appreciated?

I have a few Cheaney and Crockett and Jones. The attention to detail is a little better with C&J. I would say the quality of materials are on par. The edging on the soles seem to be cut closer to the shoe with C&J compared with Cheaney. I have a pair Cheaney purchased in a sale (probably a special sale line) and the creasing is different on each shoe. These shoes were re-coloured from Tan to dark brown. you can just make the different creasing.Does anyone here own both Cheaney and Crockett and Jones? And why are Cheaney so under appreciated?
