I am looking for a pair of C&J shoe which I have a few questions on size and last and would like to have your advise:
Size:
1/. I made some measurement of my feet. It is over 25cm but less than 25.5cm in length and is slightly over 9.5 cm from the joint of my big toe measure across. I have flat feet.
2/. I have tried out a pair of Trickers' with thick stock. It looks like Keswick or Bourton, which I tried on UK8 and UK7. For UK 8, I can put a finger loosely at the heel/end when I squeeze my feet all the way to the front. For UK7, same action but can tighly squeeze a finger. That department store does not carry fitting 6 or half size. But fitting 5 seems fine. Sadly, I cannot find Crockett and Jones here in HK.
What size I should choose?
For last, I do not prefer too elongated/pointed. Which last I should be looking at? I am looking at wingtip models like wigmore, edgeware, finsbury (it looks a bit round), westfield. They have different last, what last number I should choose?
Thanks!
