** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

I saw in the earlier post. Do you know what the difference is between the three Skyes? Mine may be taking its maiden voyage tomorrow. Just doing my regular shoe care regimen on them before their first time out with me.

I actually thought they would be roomier, but don't feel too different from my 325 last Conistons.

From what I've gathered:

Skye= Chestnut Calf w/ double leather soles (discontinued)
Skye 2= Brown Shell
Skye 3= Replaced Skye, comes in Chestnut and Black Calf with Danite soles
Skye 4= Snuff Suede (Discontinued)

My Chestnut, Skye Is on double leather sole. I think you’re correct

I already really loved that one; the one that started it all for me. The burnishing was lighter on that chestnut than the newer models. Great score RTP. Cant wait for pics

The Skye 4 in snuff suede also has brass eyelets rather than blind ones.

I just took a quick glance at your Instagram. I think I can say with confidence that I have never seen anybody abuse his Crockett & Jones quite as much as you do. Completely mad - but clearly you’re having a lot of fun.

Thanks for the overview.

I am having fun
In general it is just the outdoor boots like Coniston and Snowdon that I put through their paces; my dress shoes I wear more carefully.

It would be interesting to see/know how long those outdoor boots last after such abuse.

I don't remember which thread it was posted in, but there is a video with Crat putting due care to his boots too.

 

[mrjamescost]

Snowdon’s definitely look better with age if you ask me.

Yep, I think I saw that one. After the ‘zug’ Snowdon had been caked in mud following a day of fishing. It’s nice to know you’re investing in such durable footwear.
