English Chukkas Width Questions

[VINSON]

I'm looking to purchase a pair of chukkas, preferably English. From what I've read here, the English make wider shoes than the Italians.

The problem is that my feet fit into a RM Williams Craftsman (Kangaroo) at 7H (UK Sizing).

I haven't seen any English shoe makers with H sizing for width so I'm assuming they use different sizing formulas (thanks Tarmac).

These are the ones I'm interested in now, all with G width:

Loake - Trapper
Loake - Gatcombe

but from what I've read Loake uses poor leather so..

Grenson - Ascot
Sanders - Holborn
Sanders - Highgate

Crockett & Jones - Chepstow

All of these are G width but I don't know how they compare to, say, AE PA 8EEE and RMW Craftsman 7H.

Would these at 7G be too small in width?

I wear a 6.5 G in Sanders, which is about the same as my Allen Edmonds 7 EEE's. There is indeed an English "H" width, which corresponds to an EEEE, but H width is rare--too bad, too, 'cause it might work even better for me than a G. Pediwear, for example, only has a few styles in that width, and no chukkas.

Just a thought. I note you said you were looking for "English", however, if you're happy with RM Williams and their sizing, have you seen their Simpson boot?

They are MTO, so you should be able to get the spec you need. I've got pair in tan suede and their great!

Great idea; I didn't realize RM Williams made chukkas
