What’s the verdict on the CJ Dainite made “city” rubber sole that seem to be reserved for some dressier models? I suppose it’s supposed to be a midpoint between leather and the thicker nubbed Dainite?

It’s just as durable as the standard Dainite soles, yet lower profile and sleeker.

While I like Dainite for boots, I’ve always found them odd on shoes. The City Sole seems to bridge that gap and provide the water resistance without sacrificing as much aesthetically vis a vie leather soles.

Just received the U-Throat C&J c/o BB. I would suggest to go a half size bigger because these are narrow. Worked perfectly for me. Of all the Peal shoes I’ve ordered, these are probably my favorite (other than the shells) This are the only pair that seemto be untouched from the factory due to the way it was packaged and all.


Now what color are these?

The colour is chestnut

It's great, sleek yet very durable.

Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate your commends on the City rubber sole. Seems like a good fit for a couple models that I'm considering and the like the sleekness of them, but was concerned there was some major disadvantage I wasn't seeing. Thanks for your input on these!

New to me brown cordovan Lindrick via @JayDotz . I'd participated in SF brown cordovan Lindrick GMTO back in Fall 2018, but sold my pair almost immediately upon receiving them. During the interim 6+ months between GMTO payment and delivery, I'd bought a pair of Alden Cigar wingtip boots and a pair of C&J Skye 2 in brown cordovan so I felt there was too much overlap. I ended up selling the Skye to a buddy, and soon regretted selling the Lindrick. C&J GMTOs are becoming more and more difficult to complete, so I doubted I'd be able to land another pair in my size. When I saw JayDotz 's post, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to acquire this pair. Uppers are in great condition, and overall I'm pleased with the purchase. I know JayDotz has a couple of other stellar boots listed on SF, highly recommend him as a seller.

never saw 337 on loafer, though I think 337 is a shorter version of 348/358, so probably doesn't work...

Cavendish in black, I think this is probably the oldest shoes I have, back then, I bought it as second hand from someone else. Still happy with them, survived through many rains and yet solid!

Anyone have thoughts on the Brecon chukka in general, and how it relates to where it fits with the other chukka models made by CJ? Thanks!

It's beautiful, it's on last 341 so not as elongated or sharp as the Tetbury but a more discrete almond toe. Considering also it has grain leather and a stormwelt it is definitely a very casual and versatile style.

The Chiltern are also beautiful and have a rounder toe.

In short I consider the Tetbury as the sharpest/sleekest (assuming you like the very elongated look), the Brecon as a more heavy duty chukka, while Chiltern is the most classic/conservative.

 

[EUtroll]

Would agree, but many also finds the last used for the Chiltern quite challenging.
