I don't know if it's approperiate to make the first post a question, but I really need help and have'nt found anything when i used the search.

I need a new pair of (black) chelseas, I have the C&J chelsea in 7.5 UK, E width. They fit perfectly and I would like the same fit in the new ones, iam considering Polo Astor or the Bexley Whitehall.

This US 8.5D should fit you well and check out the price?

Thank you for your fast reply!

So you mean i should go up a whole size? Is this the same with all Polo shoes compared to C&J?

Does anyone knows anything about the Bexleys?

/Thanks

They're good shoes and a very good quality-price ratio, but I doubt they are Italian-made. India seems like a safer bet.

I have never tried a pair so I cannot say anything about their fit.

Still have'nt bought, but the answers and what i've found makes me confused.. The Polo astors semms pretty small in general, some people on the forum tried to sell their astors, claiming they are to small.

Should I maybe order a US size 9 if I have UK size 7,5 in C&J chelseas?

The last question about this, I promise..

You have any experiences with Crockett and Jones shoes or boots?

Bexley is made in Morocco if I am not mistaken, and build quality is very good considering the price.
