Crockett & Jones 360 last

[pupjoint]

i have a C&J Chelseas size UK9 E in 238 last.

i tried the 348 last, 8.5E is too small for me, and 9.5E i have plenty of room in front.

still waiting to try out the UK9E in 348 last if it fits me.

anyone here have prob with the 348 and if the 360 fits them?

sorry to be asking this, but where I am now, getting good shoes seems to be a chore.

not to comfortable with mail ordering anything into this country yet.

still waiting for my Saphirs to come in, been more than 2 weeks now.

The Wigmore is great- just bought a "last" pair in Selfridges for 115£, and came home to check if my feet were in agreement with SF

blind luck as I only pass by the place once a year, just for the eye candy experience and to smile inside when I see the prices of stuff from RL and Boss (black line both), etc-

It seems like black label = gimme ur money sucker (hopefully with no racial undertones)

My best buy I reckon since a couple months ago I got a pair of beautiful black derby Ferragamo Tramezzas for 118£ in Bicester (I like to think they screwed up the pricing as the other Tramezzas were and still are 220£)

They did have some goodish discounts (30%) on some other brands, but the variety was weak in many brands, especially Italian

Does anybody know where they can be acquired or if there is any special story behind them?

I'd like to re-resurrect this thread: indeed, which is the best place to find those shoes, along with the others on the 360 last, such as the Bramwell and the Higham -- Paris? Tokyo?

+1. I too would be interested in learning more.

Beautiful last, but too narrow for my blood. I've had to put my pair of Cranfords up for sale.

Trading Post in Japan has (had?) the 360 and pretty sure I've seen them at C&J Paris as well..

Also, iirc C&J store in NY has one style on the 360 (unfortunately I don't remember which model)

how does 360 compare to 348/337/358 by the way?

360 is basically the almond toe version of the 348. I have both.

I like this a lot. Toe is just so much more elegant than the 337.

I think an austerity brogue on this last would be nice.

What's the experience or opinion of the 360 last?

This "Milner " possibly takes on the label "fashion forward" in some quarters.

I personally wear a "Maidwell" - an Adelaide with medallion toe and there is also this "Bramwell"

You really can't have an opinion on a last because the last has more to do with the Shape of the foot and everyone is different. It may be great on some people and others will not even be able to wear a shoe on that last at all.

You can def have an opinion on a last whether or not that particular last suits your feet is completely another matter
