Certainly didn’t buy on a Kavalier ‘recommendation’The Kavalier is just another YouTube "influencer" shill.
I don't feel they are any 'wider' than other shoes or sneakers I own. I will do a bit of measuring or a left foot, right foot comparison with other brands of shoes when I get time. Do you have a narrow width foot? What other shoes or sneakers do you wear that you are comfortable with the width from an aesthetics point of view? Maybe I own something similar so can do a photo comparison on the foot. Let us know.I am looking at CN for some sneakers but I am having a hard time with buying a pair where there is no logical reason for them to be so wide throughout the middle of the shoe. They could have at least tapered it a little between the rear and front to give the appearance of a slimmer silhouette.
I have zero doubts about the quality or comfort or whether they are worth the money, but I do care about looks to some extent.
Am I worrying too much here or are they slimmer than the photos let on?
Hi hollandn thanks for the reply I owuld love to get more feedback on that. The only other sneakers I own are Converse Chuck Taylor Ox Lows. Maybe the photos are misleading when I look at the, but the CN's look wider than that.I don't feel they are any 'wider' than other shoes or sneakers I own.

Hi guys a couple of questions I forgot to add:
1) Regarding sizing: if I am a 10 (28.5cm) in Crockett & Jones Harlech 341 last does that mean a 10.5 (29cm) in Crown sneakers should be ideal? Crown say to go half a size up over C&J but I always like to double check real user views.
2) Do the TL's (Trim Line) look noticeably cleaner and narrower than the "regular" padded sneakers without sacrificing too much comfort?
Thanks.
Hi msimon thanks for the reply. My 'true' (I had my feet 3D mapped) foot length is actually 28.4cm and 10.7cm at the widest point. Does that suggest a 10 would work?Hi, I have two pairs of shoes from Crown Northampton and my advice is to find your real foot length because there sizing corresponds with there own and so differs from standard sizing. I found out that my largest foot is 27.2ish and went for size 8.5 27.4CM which fitted me like a glove with toe room to spare.
So if 29cm is your true foot length then I would say your good to go for 10.5.
The the trim line is definitely cleaner and sleeker, and if I was gonna order another pair it would be a TL shoe.
Don't forget that CN do wide fitting also.

I have also asked Crown for advice and may order two sizes and return whichever one doesn't fit. If I am happy with the sneakers I intend to order a few pairs so it's really worth getting it right!
Thanks for the feedback mate. I hope they get back to me tomorrow so I can order because according to what I read on Reddit the wait time for some models is 8+ weeks for orders at the moment due to supply chain issues!I think a 10 would be fine but can't fully confirm that size because my feet are different to yours, I might be fine with the gap but you might need more.
Wouldn't it be great if they did mail order plain sneakers for sizing. Have a word with them because there customer service is very good.
