I really hate when stockist use the generic C&J photos .. Would much appreciate some effort in photographing the actual product to provide a better feel of the batch they got ..

Had good experience ordering my Harlech's from them.

Had to return a pair of Harlech to them for bad quarter alignment. They tried to educate me about, I quote, "artisan shoes" that can have flaws like that ... Almost a 1/4 inch misalignment is not even close to being acceptable.

Yeah, 1/4 inch is quite large. On one of my boots there was a slight misalignment, but not enough to warrant an exchange/return. To be honest on shell C&J I tend to notice slight misalignment more often than not.

Snagged these from BB early this morning. Needed a nice derby split toe and like the scotch grain, and at that price, why not? Not sure if these are on the 240 last, anyone know for sure?

For the Sasquatch-ish among us-

I plan to order a 12 1/2 Westbourne on the 360 last tomorrow and am looking for a little reassurance. I wear a size 13 Loake Kempton in the 26 last and it is at least a half size to big. I'm a 13 and 3/4 B on the Brannock for length and width. Any thoughts around this? Two days of reading threads on here makes me think yes, but I have seen no posts on 13's and such. Plus, I'm constantly distracted by the pics and lose my focus... Help appreciated.

You're in good company, I wear a 12.5 in the 360 last. I am not personally familiar with the Loake Kempton, but my experience has consistently been that C&J run smaller than most english makers- a 12 in C&J is listed by the C&J as a 46. What you would be buying would be a 47, which is in line with my preferred size for boots with thicker socks.

I'd venture a 1/2 size down in C&J would fit a full size smaller than your Loake Kemptons, but I'd be weary about buying without the ability to return.

Yes, I would use their direct mail order option so I could return them if necessary- it sounds like I am on the cusp. Your post was very helpful to me- thank you!

I own the loake Kempton in 8.5 UK and plenty of CJ in different lasts in 8.5 or 9.

Kempton are a snug fit but considering is suede they are still very comfortable. Same size in CJ is a snug fit as well, if not suede it might be too snug for me.

Long story short I think CJ and loake have comparable fit, if your Kempton in 13 are too big then 12.5 for CJ should be the right choice.

No problem- against my better judgement I just purchased Pembrokes in a size 12 from Ben Silver (thank you to whomever on this thread happened to post about Ben Silver) at a deeply discounted price. This is in part to solidify my sizing expectations for a forthcoming order from Foster & Sons new RTW line (which is quite appealing- I might add), as the remainder of my C&Js are from BB and RL. I have heard rumor that BB & RL do odd things with sizing and last selection.

I think they will likely be small, but at the price they’re easy to flip and serve a purpose in their own right. While I typically wear a 13 in US sized shoes, with C&J I expect a 13.5 (12.5 UK) is the prudent choice for me. I’ll know for certain Monday and would be happy to update you then.

I too am “on the cusp”.
