I debated too long on that exact pair, and as it turns out you beat me to the trigger. Enjoy them! ?

I have a pair of Chilterns in snuff bought 4 years ago. I have bought many shoes since but they are still my favourite. I wish they would do a rough out version outside of MTO

The Molton is very close to being a r/o Chiltern, no?

 

[aquatherm]

Rog, you are quite right. That's why I will be at the C&J shop next Monday to buy a pair

Got the Crockett Jones Islay in UK8 with the corner of my right 4th toe just barely touching the front/roof of the shoe. There's no pain and the boots fit fine otherwise, but the toe box should never stretch, so I'm worried I'll regret it when I start walking (and not be able to return them). I have the same problem in some broken in Herring Churchstow - I can wear them for hours without pain, but I'm constantly aware there is the slightest contact/pressure on my 4th toe.

I have UK8.5 on the way, but any thoughts in the meantime? When the cork molds to my feet they should sink in slightly and give more space, but not in the front... ?

C and J grain just seems so right. “If loving the grain is wrong, I don’t wanna be right”!

They have some of the nicest richest grain I've seen at that price. Especially visible on these, the Islay and the Conistons! Though yours look tasty!

Thanks mate, agree the grain is best I’ve seen. Good enough for whatever I’ll do in them anyway..?

Speaking of CJ Chukkas. A slightly different vibe from the Brecon’s for today on a rainy spring day. Tetbury in brown suede. I’d be hard pressed to come up with a more versatile boot in my closet

Quick sizing question for the thread... From a volume perspective would a 341G fit larger or smaller than a 325/335E? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.

Use the same size on all the C&J lasts has worked very well for me. Don’t over think it.

I generally do, the difference here is comparing a G width 341 last to a E width 325/335.
