Dear all, I am looking for recommendations for some good hiking boots - general recommendation seems to be to stick to specialist hiking brands like Lowa or Meindl.
However, I wouldn't be on styleforum if I didnt care about style! Can traditional country boots work for full on proper hiking/backpacking?
I am considering some options incl. the C&J consitons or the Snowdon - anyone have any experience actually going on outdoor hiking expeditions (over rocky trails, muddy bogs etc) with these and can they be recommended to keep me safe and dry? Or better stick to specialist brands for that?
I wear Galway and Pembroke in same size, 9uk. I wear Hardwick in suede half a size smaller. I tried the Sidney in suede (same last as Hardwick) 8 uk and they wear too snug for me,so here 8.5 would have been the correct size. Basically half size smaller than my Galway and Pembroke.Hi guys, I was looking for some insights on the 325 last. I currently have the Coniston in a 10E and the Pembroke in 10,5 E and I am keen on purchasing a pair of suede Cavendish (online). I have pretty standard feet (instep, width etc.), but am just confused on the different sizes for the same last.
Both feel extremely comfortable from the start and when trying on the Pembroke in a 10E (like he Coniston), it felt rather painfully snug with my toes hitting the end of the shoebox, so going for the 10 in the Pembroke was a no go for me. Standard size for me would be a 10,5 (derbies, oxfords).
So am I correct in assuming that boots and loafers should be 1/2 size down (especially when the loafers are in suede)? Thanks for any input!

It is strange that Pembroke didn't work for you in 10 while Coniston did. If you are 10.5 in all other CJ shoes I would probably try the Cavendish in 10 if I were you.
I wear the same UK size in the Cavendish II (325) and my Galway II’s (325), as well as my Belgraves (337), and some BBxCJ boots (240): 10E. I did not size down for the Cavendish, but I have a slightly wider foot (American E) and a high instep.
I hope you find your size. My Cavendish in snuff suede is one of my favorites.
