JM Weston appreciation thread

No in 9D. Both good fit.

Wow, a whole size different? Did Cambre fit small?

No, 180 fits large.

The top pair have that "country gentleman" style. Perfect with grey flannels. They were always in stock at Wilkes Bashford (San Francisco) in the 1980's-early 2000's.

Already ordered, on their way to papa

Just pick them up this afternoon.
The recommended size from the website is precise, when I put in the measurement
suggested I order a size 6 1/2 D, These really are larger to size.
The smallest is 7D from 24S so I think I will just stick to these, since these will usually
go with socks, 1/2 size too big is not much of a problem, or could just use a tongue pad or
a thin insole. Not the end of the world.

enjoy these in good health. Of course, the cat has to investigate.

Well the "10 UK" listed by Mr. Porter was indeed a 10 Weston size, which in my case I was banking on. I will note that where other Weston boxes list the Weston, UK and US sizes, this pair came in a box only listing the Weston size.

View attachment 1877581

The previous pair I picked up from Mr. P was listed as "10.5 E" with no identification of which measure it was using. They ended up being 10.5 UK.

Further confusion, as was pointed out previously, this Hunter Green pair was listed as "Brown" on Mr. Porter, "Brown" corresponding per Weston and at least some pictures on Mr. P to a tan color.

No matter, as I actually don't mind the Hunter Green and am fairly convinced this size will work for me.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. So I've gathered that JM Weston sizes are UK equivalent, so you add one for the US size, is this correct?

Also, what are the shoes marked with on the sole and on the inside? Is it the JM Weston size (UK equivalent), or is it the US size?

Apologies if both have questions have been addressed earlier in the thread.

Thanks

Each of Jm Weston shoes have their own sizing, which people find so confusing about, if you are into 180 the listed size is unique to 180 and not UK size equivalent. Attached a photo from internet explains the conversion. The covered size is US size

@Louis_HK, so I get that each model has their own sizing. So what is marked on the bottom of the shoes - i.e. on the sole. Will I be consistent with your approach? Also, if there's a half size involved (e.g. 9/ D marked on the inside of the shoe), what will be marked under the sole near the heel?

The marking on the sole is not consistent with the one inside the shoe🤣, these two photos from Buyee show the difference. The marking on the sole is 9-D and inside is 9/D

Oh boy! Looks like it's a real mixed bag of marked sizing. I like it. It's very French!

That's the same, - and / both mean a half size

20% off Spring Sale going on 24s.com right now guys - just picked up my first pair of 180s for 500USD shipped to Australia, don't think it gets much better than that! Am praying that the 8D on 24S means 8D Weston sizing... :/

Are you sure there’s no extra duties even the invoice says tax and duties included 🤭. 8D from 24S is Weston 8D. I got a pair of animation loafers as well, but I have them shipped to a forwarder in Germany, the price difference shipping to Hong Kong and Germany is almost €300.

How do you like these? I've always thought they were a handsome shoe.

Wow...thats crazy. I hope I dont need to pay any additional duties since here in Aus anything less than $1000 AUD isnt subject to import tax...I hope I'm right XD
