** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

Now just to figure out sizing...

 

[oskrusa]

Some differences like Snowdon is Veldt construction and Radnor is not. Snowdon has Commando sole and Radnor has the Ridgeway sole but both boots have the same last. The thing going for Radnor is the Bakers Russian grain leather which is very nice. But if I had to just pick for bad weather I would pick Snowdon Zug or Regular Snowdon.
Radnor 4 price is very nice too now especially if you buy from UK on sale price approx £491.67 ex VAT plus £30 shipping. Otherwise it runs approx $1k in NY store.

In addition to those great details provided by @saurabh, I must add that the Snowdon has bellow tongues while the Radnor does not.

I did ask, and haven't seen a response yet. I assumed the worst would maybe be minor try on creasing. They didn't even know my size on initial inquiry so might avoid the issue altogether.

Was just wondering if anyone had done a similar thing w/ them.

I’ve picked up a pair that were in store try on and they were in excellent shape when I got them.

Radnor vs Snowdon if one has to pick one ? And why?
I own Islay, Skye 3 and Arran ( Barneys NY) oh and Eskdale arriving any day.
Thank you,

Contrary to popular belief, if I had to pick one, it’s not close, the Radnor. At these prices, if they have it in your size get it now, do not pass go, immediately purchase them. You may not get this opportunity again. The Snowdon is always available, the Radnor in russian grain..not so much!

I’d love to see more photos of the Radnor!

Found some old pictures when I had first tried the Radnor 4 in Russian Grain and I was there at the store to drop off my handgrade shoes for resole.

I just couldn't pass on the Radnors at the sale price, so finally placed my first mail order with C&J. Ms. Searle is very efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

Another Russian Leather Radnor buyer here. I thought they had been discontinued and no longer available, I couldn’t resist given that they are on sale too. I have been on the look out for a Russian leather boot for awhile now, I am looking forward to opening the box and getting that first smell.

It’s one of the most enjoyable experiences of owning these particular boots, that only a shoe lover can understand.

Congrats. Yep they've been discontinued, which is precisely why they're on sale. I'd inquired about availability back in March, but decided to wait and take a chance they'd still be available in my size during C&J Summer sale

"Our sale is comprised of a large variety of shoes and boots, which are made up of current styles that we are now discontinuing as well as samples, cancelled orders and Hand Grade seconds."

This right here is the pair that got me hooked on Russian grain leather. Seeing @nishant and @caffed's IG posts just reinforced the "need". The Radnor is also my first pair of boots with Ridgeway soles, so one more thing to look forward to.

 

[saurabh]

The Skye 3 boots arrived and they are amazing!! Color on these boots is really nice.
Seeing these in person I definitely made the right choice

What last are they on, 341?
I have two similar pairs, one on the 324 (one of my favorite pair of boots), and the other on the 224.

They are on the rarely seen 377 last.
