FYI, the gianni I ordered arrived just now and it is NOTHING like the boot pictured. It is not a chukka. It does not have a dainite sole. It is a full boot (not ankle chukka). It has metal eyelets and speed hooks, toe stitching similar to Indy boots, and a leather sole. The description for the gianni is somewhat accurate but the picture is showing some other shoe altogether. Also runs really wide from what I can tell initially. I'm pretty ticked as I wanted the chukka ankle boots and I wanted a dainite sole for extra grip.
Prescott by C&J for RL (cordovan in dark brown)
Good catch - looking at the op and google image search I do think this boot looks a lot like a gifford, except it is a full boot and definitely not a chukka. I'm pretty disappointed as the chukka looked like just an overall better chiseled feel to the toe and I wanted the more casual feel of the chukka and its dainite sole.Thats bizarre. Is it like the gifford boot? btw, op has a pic of almost all of the C&J for RL models for reference
Yeah, I think it is taller than an indy as well. I don't want to be super negative on this boot, but to me it has the heel area of the boot has the feel/look of a Alden for JCrew cap toe boot, the toe has the stitching of an Alden Indy, and the height the taller feel of a carmina boot. I feel the overall ankle looks blobby and not contoured like the Alden for JCrew cap toe boot and also without decoration it does not have the nice feel of a Lindrick boot or a Crockett and Jones Skye boot. What are y'alls thoughts on it?Taller than Indy as well? Hope you get your chukka. Alternatively you can go Vass if you want shell chukka
Where? Not currently on the web. My understanding is they did bring the Lindrick back .. But like the PTB and these Penny's, could be store purchase only this year.
I would appreciate it if you could take some photos from other angles in an outdoor setting (with natural light). The boot looks interesting to me from what I've seen so far.
Yeah, I wanted dainite for longer lasting + better in rain puddles + I hear it is slightly better grip. I'm really disappointed because I was digging the look of those chukka's too. I know some of y'all aren't digging it, but I think they look much better in the pics than the boots that got delivered to me. I am still hoping those chukkas exist somewhere :-\. Not sure what to do. Honestly, I feel this boot is like a less pretty version of a cordovan Indy.
NAMOR,
I think these longwing spectators might be C&J shell
Nice looking penny's. Wear them in good health.Maiden voyage.
Went true to size on these and they fit my wide foot well
A little roomy in the heel but a tongue pad helped
