Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Marlow sizing advice

[djs5150]

Good morning,

I've searched around and found a lot of conflicting information so I thought I would just ask you guys here. I'm interested in purchasing some Cockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Marlow in dark brown but given the price (even used) I want to make sure I get the sizing correct. I wear a 7.5D in the Alden Barrie last. Any advice and/or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering how you made out? I wear the Barrie in an 8D and have been debating the Marlows but don’t want to midsize these given the price.

EDIT: I did NOT size down, I kept the exact same size I wear in the Barrie last.
I kept the same size as I wear in the Barrie last. I purchased them used so I'm not sure if there was a stretching period for my feet or if that's just how the sizing is. They feel fine now, I definitely don't notice any tightness.

I really hope this helps. For what it's worth, I love these shoes and will probably keep them forever.

I sized down a half size from what I wear in a Barrie and they fit, although they were quite snug at first. I purchased them used so I'm not sure if there was a stretching period for my feet or if that's just how the sizing is. They feel fine now, I definitely don't notice any tightness.

Thanks.. sized down and kept a “D” width?

Exactly.

Excuse me. I just double checked. I actually kept the EXACT same size as my Barrie last size. For example, I wear a 7.5D in the Barrie last and purchased a 7.5D in the Marlows for Ralph Lauren. I apologize for any confusion.

Hi SF,

I just purchased a pair of Crockett & Jones Marlow for Ralph Lauren. It’s sized 9,5 D to according to the seller and after my research I presume the sizing to be for the US market and the last should be 314.

Can anyone translate this into UK sizing? My guess is 9 E. Can this be right?

I wear:

Alden Barrie, US 9 C/E
Alden Aberdeen, US 9,5 C/E
Crockett & Jones 325, UK 8,5 E (a bit snug)

Does this seem right?

Best wishes,
Christian

I know this is an old post but I have all 4 Marlow so in case anyone is wondering how they fit. Also the U.K. size is 1 full size down from the US size.

I wear a 10B in AE 65 last
I wear a 9.5C in Alden Loafers
I take the 9.5 in the Marlow Penny (314 last)
I take the 9 in all the other 3 Marlow styles.

The Marlow loafers are both great options for those with higher arches.Both of them are significantly better fitting than Alden loafers for me with the damn tight strap.
