Anyone here has 377 last and find it 1/2 size bigger than most last? My Heartland 2 ( unlined) chukka are a bit loose but C&J states 377 is true to size?

I’ve got the Derwent which is on 377; they are more forgiving to my widish foot. But, definitely not a 1/2 size bigger for my feet.

God, that is like a real existential question right there. Here I’m sitting, wondering whether I should get the dark brown Coni now that I own the tan and brown RO but also whether that is too much considering I have C&J Chelsea’s and the Galway on dark brown grain already. Yeesh. I’ve decided to wait a bit to see what’s new on their upcoming releases. Perhaps a cap toe on cleated soles in that chocolate hurricane leather? Supposed to be quite a nice hide.

****, I just read your comment hahaha, sarcasm? Your contemplation makes feel like I’m over-analyzing things! I’m also going to play it slow and see if my preferences change with time. As of currently: pembroke & islay are my

Are you considering the Pembroke in shell or scotch grain? Considering you already have the lindrick I would go with the tan scotchgrain, the ultimate country shoe

I think the Pembroke looks best in tan scotch grain, so definitely going in the aforementioned.

Thanks @wdrenth
Sizing is an interesting topic.

I am going to add this link to an interesting thread about sizing (where several examples of 348):

Ha ha no no that wasn’t an attempt at sarcasm at all. I’m genuinely agonising over to get the dark brown coniston even though I have the tan and brown rough out pairs.

Worse still, i’m thinking about a pair of field boots as well but wavering because I did a calculation about potential shoe use and realised that calculated against my hypothetical life expectancy i’ll only actually be able to get 3 years of wear on each pair....

I have a hard time deciphering sarcasm sometimes, so I’ve learned it’s best to ask when in doubt hahaha.

As a fellow forum peer; get them! I think the coniston looks best in dark brown scotch. I have them in dark brown scotch & donot feel compelled to buy it any other leather.

lmao ****! You went as far as calculating the amount of wears. Although I have thought and do hope I get to wear out every pair of footwear I own, as they’ll probably get sold after my passing.

He he yeah it suddenly struck me as I contemplated purchasing a few more pairs. Based on that premise that a well made pair is good for a lifetime of use, getting anything less than a decade of wear a pair strikes me as being a bit of a disservice to great footwear.

My guess is i’ll Be hammering away at some pairs more than others, and gradually will sell a few I don’t wear much as well. Hoping to trim the collection a bit in time so that I am left with the ones that truly show their use and character of the leather the way their makers intended it.

25th anniversary Pembroke in Navy. I do like the tan ones as well!

Tell you what, if C&J goes big and release a dark brown Coniston in a chunky vibram sole, i’ll Be all over it. ;-) I just saw some photos of the black rough out Coniston in the vibram cleated sole that I really wanted at one point and was reminded how much that chunky look appeals to me....

.....or I end up getting the black edition and the dark brown grain also, FML ?

Most excellent. Done breaking in? I’m waiting on Borghini classic to re-release their version on the 335 last and then I will pounce.
