Anyone get the Gerry Cap Toe from Paul Stuart? Is it the 348 last?

it is 348.

 

[Dd1101]

it is 348.

Thank you.

And Paul Stewart is US size correct.... Same rules as Brooks Brothers Peal and Co sizing?

no they go by UK sizing for English sized shoes. So on the product page it hsould note specifically, "English Sized Footwear." or something (if i rememebr correctly).

Are they letting Americans into the UK ? ?

Point taken.

I recently saw video footage of wind turbines in the ‘New England’ area of America. It could just as easily have been some of the more picturesque areas of England. Absolutely beautiful. Which made me wonder, why would an American want to spend a lot of time, effort and money to travel to England, where it is rather expensive, when similar beauty can be enjoyed, for a lot less, in the north eastern area of the United States?

In the before times, some one from the west coast USA traveling to England wouldn't be too much more time and effort than traveling to New England. Flights to LHR were relatively cheap. But I don't know how much it would cost to fly to see Crafty's sheep.

Not sure if it was intended or by chance, but what a lovely Suessian rhyme!

Just received my Hansons, love them, but I have a question for you guys. The sole on the bottom left by the ball of my foot isn't as flat as the sole on the right. The inner lining is fine but when I put pressure I can feel the difference between the soles. I'm presuming as I wear these they'll even out? I'm prwsuming oak barked soles are harder than usual ones.
I had a defect and found a random shoe nail in my game sneakers I ordered so Paul Stuart gave me a 30% off code bringing these down to $270 and after I checked raise for giftcards got another 40 saved by using a giftcard. For $230ish think I should see how they break in?

it should even out with wear. Those are handsome shoes.

I hope, these look even better in person, the broguing isn't even that noticeable which is perfect for interviews. I got a hell of a deal on them and they came with spare laces!

Must admit I am biased. I'm from Mallaig in the West Highlands. Now a US citizen living in California.

Just another question. These are my first C&J handgrades so I want to be sure.

i neglected to take note of the shoes until I decoded to condition them with Cadiliac shoe conditioner and renapur leather balsam.

There's nothing odd aboit the soles? And for some reason the conditioner and balsam (I waited for it to dry before applying the second layer of balsam) left some water type marks in the leather. It isn't wet anymore, just curious if it will go away once I wear them out tomorrow? I usually condition my dress shoes once every 6 months. Just wanted to do it this time because who knows how long they have been sitting.
