Thanks for the offer but think I'll pass.
Always wanted a pair (I'm a bit of a Bond fan)

They are a size 10. I'm not usually a 10 but seen to get away with that size on C&J boots.

I m too a bond fan and i really like the islays. What size do you normally wear? Did you get them bigger or smaller size?

I have a pair of Tetbury's which are 10's as well but a couple of pairs of shoes, Draycott's etc which are 10.5s, from other shoe manufacturers I'm usually an 11 or 10.5.

so you went with half a size smaller. Interesting as C&J suggested me to take a uk 10.5, as I told them I only have one british pair which is uk 10G.

It will depend what socks etc you want to wear. The 10 is snug for me and there is no way i could wear thick socks.

I went a half size down as that was all the factory store had and it fitted; all be it quite snug.

The best thing is to try a pair somewhere before ordering if possible.

The shoe trees are UK sizing

Surely the best thing is to try before you buy, but unfortunately in my city, and I think in my country, there is not a single retailer of british shoes. So I have to guess and hope they fit. Returning for an exchange last time costed me 140$.

New Tetbury. So comfy they bring a tear to my eyes.
