Hey guys,

Can somebody post the lasts that are best for a low instep?

I own the 348, which fits great, but wanted to know other low instep options for C&J.

Help is appreciated!

I have a very shallow foot and the 363 worked well for me recently (see the boot above). The Jermyn Street staff kindly added full leather insoles, which helped a lot.

One of the top speed hooks in my otherwise brand new Islays (3 wears) just came off while I was driving. It seems broken and I don't think it can be reattached.

Should I email C&J to see if they can send me a replacement? Or should I try and go to a local cobbler. It won't be identical I guess and I live in a small town where I'm pretty sure cobblers don't usually deal with 450 pound boots.

The 360-handgrade last. Comes with full insoles standard.

If happened to mine Mickey I would ring or email Crockett and Jones to complete repair under warranty.

Thank you, I just used the contact form in their website.

I'm a bit puzzled this happened to essentially brand new boots, especially at this price. I didn't feel I was wearing them too tightly laced or anything.

I own a pair of northcote since 2010 and the dainite sole on one of the shoe is damaged (on the toe, no idea what I kicked). Should I send back to CJ, no idea how much recrafting is, but upper is in good condition that I feel its a waste of money.

My other alternative is B. Nelson, though probably not that cheap either? Any of you guys would suggest some other rubber sole other than dainite?

My Nothcote has been my go to bad weather boots for years

Shoe Shine Shunday! (x post apols)

Stable for the week, Duchess dropped a pair in on the sly!

That happened to a pair of brand new AS; didn't even get to try them on; the top one just popped off. Get it warrantied.

[Skyfell]

Thanks Cleav,

Life wouldn't be worth living if Mrs Sky caught me getting polish on carpet

 

[Cleav]

I get that!

Suppose the Duchess throws in a pair of her C & Js to give me license! Clever gal!

 

[Skyfell]

Gulp......There's only one thing for it,

I'll have to get Mrs Sky some boots!!

Recently, I received a couple of new pairs of C&J shoes: 341 Sydney 9.5E loafers in dark brown burnished calf (on left) and 348 Edgeware 10E oxfords in dark brown burnished calf (on right). (@Cleav agreed, the dark brown burnished calf are great, mate. Thanks for the earlier advice!)

The new Sydney loafers will join my earlier ones in black calf, to form a mated pair.

The Edgeware oxfords are my alternative to MTO Westbourne in dark brown burnished calf. However, I may end up getting both. Hmm.

I sent a pair of Sydney loafers in snuff suede back for exchange for MTO Teign loafers in snuff suede, i.e. exactly the same as the stock model available from C&J France. Alas, I tried unsuccessfully to source a pair via C&J UK. So, I will be forced to go down the MTO route, if I can't source a pair directly from C&J France presently.

@PCK1 again, thanks for recommending the sleeker Teign loafers to me, which I prefer over the more chunky Sydney loafers as my preferred C&J suede loafers.

Just got a response from C&J saying they will send me some hooks to be installed by my local cobbler. They also said that if there's any issue I can send them the boots.
