Thanks. Yes, they do, unfortunately none in my size right now.

Got it. Took out my 335 Conistons to wear today. Here is a top down photo:

I take a UK10 in Connaught and Swansea Last 341 would I take the same size in the Brecon chukka boot which is also on the same Last please
Never know whether I should size down half a size where boots are concerned

Thank you! Looks great. Should add a few mm over the 325. Definitely need to try this last.

Just saw an mto Galway for sale here in case anyone is interested. I got these in brown and can only recommend... It's in abbotsshoes

From the sale last month at the larger Jermyn St. Store - Weymouth (wholecut) and Tunbridge (austerity brogue) . . .

Love the tunbridge and the elegance of the 360 last. Shame it doesn't fit my feet so sadly I returned my pair

Said a belated goodbye to this little fella today.

New Sydneys arrived today! Had the leather soles replaced with "city soles and heels", which are in fact dainite as shown in the heel photo.

Dainite is indeed the brand of soles offered by The Harboro Rubber Co. Ltd

What are the recommendations on new soles for Dark Brown Scotch Grain Islays? I’m looking to switch it up from the Dainite soles.

I wear these with jeans to the office - basically smart casual type attire.

I really like the comfort and durability of the Vibram Cleated soles on my Ross boots, but I would like something a bit less aggressive for the Islays.

Any thoughts on the ridgeway sole (a la Galway)? They look good, but I don’t know how they wear.

This will be through an independent cobbler, so I don’t feel constrained on the sole selection.

I know it's a bit incongruous but since you are already just rocking them to the office go for the ultimate comfort and have them slap on some thick double leather soles. Your feet will thank you

Thanks! I should have mentioned that I wear them around town also and like not worrying about stepping through a few puddles. However, I also don't tromp through the countryside with my Islays like the "Made to be Worn" mantra.

Search this thread ( a few months back?) as someone did an Islay restoration with ridgeway soles. Personally that would be my pick when I decide to resole my Islay.
