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

[Encore]

Understood. Personally, I never go by shoe measurements. If the 8E is narrow then I can't see how sizing down to a 7.5E on the same last will fit better. Just my opinion.

Totally make sense.

I didn't know what last my oxford is in when I was looking at that derby. Later on I realized my oxford is in the same last and bigger size, but with a narrower width, that confuses me.

Should be the 240 Last, US11 D (=UK 10 E in the regular 325 Last Coniston).

Alden Aberdeen (12D) vs C&J 341 Last (11E).

LANARK III in black Cavalry calf, from the Black Editions collection; last 378, lots of room in the toe box.
Not very fond of the corrected grain Cavalry Calf but I said to myself, why not? Had another pair of boots in corrected grain that I bought back in 1992; held up very well, no cracking or peeling.
In my opinion the Lanark III looks great with the Vibram sole and makes a great everyday shoe. I would also expect C&J's cavalry calf to be of excellent quality and hold up well to wear and tear.

I never realised that cavalry calf was Crockett’s term for bookbinder. I’m not a fan of the stuff as I don’t care for the look. I liked the Shannon from Church’s, but it is usually made in ‘polished binder’ as they call it. However, I found a pair in calf and rubber sole and had to have them.

Where I live they make great fall shoes with all the rain and eventual slush; besides, they look great, not plastic-y at all.
The Churches, like these?
Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos
Grafton, not Shannon in calf + rubber.
I find the Vibram sole more comfortable though

Just in from SkyValet. C&J Teak Oiled Conistons. These things feel like they were made for my feet.

Snuff suede Skye 4 boots today. Not as fancy as a cordovan boot but still solid, I think.

I really like those. Perhaps the best looking suede boots out there. How often do they come up in your rotation?
