I didn’t see a thread for these guys so I thought I’d start one and get the ball rolling. I discovered the brand on Instagram and I was curious based on the price point on how they would compare to others in a similar price range.
I went with the Murphy in brown suede which is on their Alan last. I was told to go with my normal UK sizing and for the most part I would call this last TTS. It has maybe just a slight bit of instep room but not enough for me to change sizes. Overall they are high quality materials, fit well, priced well, and have been comfortable right out of the box. What more could I ask for haha. I am quite impressed with them so far and I look forward to seeing how they age.
Here is some info on sizing compared to some other brands/lasts I have tried.
Brannock: 8-8.25D
TLB Mallorca Alan Last: UK7
Morjas 001 Last: UK7
Berwick 437 Last: UK7
Alden Barrie (Shoes): 7.5D
Alden Barrie (Boots): 8D (I like to size up as I find the boots fit smaller and I prefer wearing thicker socks)
Alden Van: 8D in cordovan, I like 7.5D for unlined suede.
Alden Trubalance: 7.5D
Allen Edmonds 1 Last: 8.5D
Allen Edmonds 5 Last: 8D (Fairly snug but fits well, only wear with dress socks)
Edward Green 606: UK7.5E
Edward Green 72: UK7.5E
Edward Green 888: UK7.5E
Carlos Santos 234: UK7
Viberg 2030: 7.5
Crockett & Jones 325 Last: UK7
Epaulet Tennis Trainer: 8
Nike Killshot 2: 8.5
Anyway I would love to see some more discussion on the brand as more people pick them up. In the meantime I am happy to answer any questions anyone has about my pair.
