I have a few suede pairs, including the Romsey on the 8000 last, same size as all other equivalently lasted shoes.Hi all, I am considering to buy a pair of preowned suede chukka boots. But I have a concern for the sizing as I never own JL suede shoes. Assuming at the same size, will suede shoes fit larger than the smooth calf ? Anyone have experience to share please ? Many thanks !
Thanks @Scuppers.I have a few suede pairs, including the Romsey on the 8000 last, same size as all other equivalently lasted shoes.
I wouldn't compare them to Church as such, I think JLP has become a shoe brand with a very French feel to it (designs, styling, website...). The French have quite a different approach to quality shoes, with quirky designs and strong patinas etc. Just have a look at Altan Bottier, Caulaincourt, even JM Weston and Corthay. This is indeed miles away from the traditional English brands like CJ, EG, ... It's not really my cup of tea either but there must definitely be a market for them...John Lobb lost it's course completely in the past couple of years. I am not sure how they are in still in the business with heavy price increases and funny new styles/ design approach. They are starting to look more and more like an heavily overpriced Church's shoes.
