That extra nail near the lift isn’t consistent with the newer nail patterns. This could be different now than then. Others might chime in...

 

[mrjamescost]

Not sure if it’s any help, but the pattern on the sole looks quite different from C&J shoes. Looks more like that of Loake.

Thanks for your help,perhaps they’re by Church’s,in any event I did score a $40 ebay pair of awesome C&J for Barneys NY split toes with dainite soles,I have many vintage American shoes,my faves being heavyweight longwing Florsheim Imperials and Hanovers,however the Crockett and Jones has a substantial quality of assertiveness that I’d like to find more of—again thanks to suitedDx and mrjamescost for your input

Hey @Cleav are these in Chestnut? I am very interested!

I know I'll probably get a biased response here, but here goes. Looking to pick up either the Alden wingtip boot in tan calf, or the Crockett & Jones Skye in Chestnut (calf); both in double leather sole. The Skye boot is a little darker and a bit more expensive. Any thoughts?

Skye III in chestnut - which appears to adopt more of a reddish look when highly polished - are very nice. Glad I own them. However, I’m not sure they come in double leather sole.

When it comes to casual boot fit I have to go with Alden. If you’re in the US, when it’s time for resole, the price will also be half of C&J. Smart shoes hands down C&J though.

It does. C&J in NYC had it on sale for $575 (usd) back in July. I’d probably prefer it in dainite though if I could get that cheap.

you could always resole to dainite down the road

and yes for casual boots, Alden fits the spirit, CJ is more like English country "refined"

I very much agree with this. That’s why I think I’m leaning toward the Skye III
