The C&J size chart puts me at an UK 11. In Cheaney/Loake/Tricker's I'm clearly a UK 10 and in some brands (e.g. Carlos Santos) even a 9.5 UK.

That's probably also the primary reason why I don't own any C&J's yet. I buy most of my shoes on either huge online sales or Vinted. You don't see C&J that often only, and as long as I don't know my sizes...

hi @Fenners81
definitely consider sizing up.
the 379 is a short last and toebox isn't as spacious as 325.

Thanks, I actually ordered half a size up. They arrive tomorrow so we’ll see 🤞

the actual size chart of c&j is rubbish.
my feet are 28,5cm, this directs me to a UK 11 now. but I've been very happy with UK 10 in c&j for years.
don't know what they are smoking at the directors board...

Couldn't agree more with this ....just not the bit about what they're smoking

Good to know. My feet are also exactly 28.5cm. It seemed very unlikely to go with a UK11, or even 10.5. Might take a gamble on the new green roughout by @Humpty_Dumpty_Rises once I can find them 20% off or so

than do as you like.
I presume only very few people in frankfurt even know the difference between an oxford and a "budapester".

True, and when looking at people's feet most wear unpolished shoes unfortunately. The derby with 4-5 eylets and a captoe is a traditional "Theresianer" or "Kapuziner". With full broguing a "Budapester". The "Oxford" is known with closed lacing and a captoe in black, dark brown or bordeaux that you can buy at the Austrian-Hungarian shoe manufacturers "Alt Wien", "Ludwig Reiter", "Laszlo Budapest", "Handmacher" and of course "Heinrich-Dinkelacker":

Most business shoes are nowadays cemented plain derbies, some "Budapester", the loafers and very few oxfords or double-monks.

By the way, in London it is the same with a mix from smart casual with sneakers, to business casual and then business attire with polished oxfords. As a German I am certainly not underdressen in London .

Best regards

Just a quick heads-up that there are still C&J sales at 'Zwartjes van 1883', a Dutch shoe store, with free shipping to EU countries (if the price is higher than ~€350). They also sell some MTO/handgrade C&J shoes.

The website is configured in a quite irritating way where you can't filter shoes on sale by the designer, so I compiled a list below:

1. Brecon: dark brown country calf boots | EU 40E/ UK 6E | €660 --> €549. Link.
2. Connaught 2: light-brown/tan cap toe oxfords | EU 42.5E; EU 45E | €660 --> €449. Link.
3. Hallam: brown suede cap toe oxfords | EU 43E; EU 47E | €640 --> €470. Link.
4. Westfield: brown brogues | EU 43E; EU 43.5E | €650 --> €469. Link.
5. Cranton: brown suede chelsea's | EU 40E | €560 --> €450. Link.
6. Bodmin: brown chukka's | EU 39E | €500 --> €330. Link.
7. Bodmin: black chukka's | EU 42.5E | €550 --> €400. Link.
8. Portman: brown suede (handgrade) | EU 40E | €700 --> €600. Link.
9. Cadogan: brown tobacco (handgrade) | EU 41E | €720 --> €550. Link.
10. Northcote: boots (MTO) | EU 47 | €600 --> €330. Link.
11. Barnet: khaki ankle boots | EU 40E; EU 43.5E | €550 --> €350. Link.
12. Fleet: dark brown suede horse bit loafers | EU 41 | €500 --> €400. Link.
13. Fleet: ocean blue suede horse bit loafers | EU 40; EU 41 | €500 --> €380. Link.
14. Lanark: burgundy | EU 40 | €580 --> €450. Link.
15. Skye: brogue boots in navy suede (MTO) | many sizes | €570 --> €450. Link.
16. Nice: chestnut leather penny loafers | EU 40/42/42.5/44/45E | €600 --> €450. Link.
17. Nice: light brown suede penny loafers | EU 39/42/42.5/43 | €600 --> €450. Link.

Other sale you might've missed: Waardijk Schoenen. Link.

And here they are: Skyes in Navy Suede, I really like suede!
Of course I will choose other trousers for the real first wear...

If C&J did this colour option as part of their regular Islay collection, it would be without a doubt their best seller. Just like the pembroke is in this colour

Won’t be long, we have been setting the trend with a couple of our GMTO’s that have become main collection models

Haha. True that

An Islay in tan scotch grain is a no brainer. The only reason C&J wont do an islay in this colour is simply because they deliberately or strategically dont want to. I cannot see any other reasoning to it.

I’ve not owned pull-up. Any difference in how to care for them?
