Hi all,
A newby here, and trying to get my head around C&J Coniston's from here in Aus.
A have the usual RM's and a few pairs of Cheaney shoes and Oak Street Trench boots with leather soles. But I do wear my shoes hard & given its coming into winter here Danite looks the go.
I can get a pair of Conistons here in my size (UK8) if the 325 last is similar to the Cheaney 125 last, but saw a great comparison picture with the Carmina Oscar & now am undecided!
The Oscar can be had in Cordovan hatch grain (Burgundy shell hatch grain, is it really that red as the picture on the Carmina site is unclear?) for not that much more than the Coniston in tan scotch country grain, or the Oscar in Tan Karagrain which looks similar to the Coniston tan for less $.
I usually go with brown boots and thought the Coniston in tan may be a nice change (and I can get it here), and will likely stand up to abuse a bit better.
It just so happens I may be able to get my hands on a pair of the Galway II in Cordovan, but with the leather sole....
Help!
Thanks..
Hi and welcome. I can only vouch for the Coniston; it's a rugged boot that only looks better with use. I have no experience of the other models you mention. The Galway II is discontinued so might be a good idea to pick it up now. You may want to pose this question in the Boots thread also:
Boots Boots Boots - For Boot Guys Only
This is a thread (you guessed it) all about boots. I'm not like some of those guys who buy only shoes (Shoe Guys). I buy and I like to wear BOOTs (Boot Guy). So if you buy shoes or you only have a Boot or two (Shoe Guy) this thread probably isn't for you. Just go and find another one of those...
