C & J on sale at Harrods, some good options with 30% off (you have to sign up to their reward program). Would go in myself but snapped up a bargain on eBay a few weeks ago so can’t justify another purchase

Happy shopping

 

[Nat Jag]

Just had a quick look on the Harrods website. They have some derby Hallams?!? Actually they have Hallams listed twice, both at different prices.

The Summer Summer has started today.

From the lovely Pernilla Searle

Our sale is composed of a large variety of shoes and boots, which are made up of current styles that we are now discontinuing, samples, cancelled orders and Hand Grade seconds. As a result, we can’t send out a full list of the shoes we have on sale as a lot of them will no longer appear on our Website and our customers will simply not know what design they are.

Please note that Samples, Cancelled Order and Hand Grade seconds are only available from the stores direct as each store has different stock.

To contact your preferred store please use the link below:

Our stores will be extremely busy serving customers, due to this it can take some time for them to reply. They will also not be able to send a full list of shoes in shoes available in your size. If you are able to visit the store this would be recommended as the best way to secure your new Crockett & Jones Shoes.


I have listed the shoes that still appear on our website that are now on sale, with both original price and Sale price:

Please note the website is still showing original price.

Could anybody offer me some fitting advice. I'm looking at purchasing the Crockett & Jones Hallam, but not sure about what size to opt for. I wear a 9 UK in the 341 (Ashdown) and 325 (Coniston) lasts. Do you think a 9 in the 348 last would work, or would it be wise to go up half a size?

Any help is appreciated.

I would suggest going down half a size with the Hallam. I wear size 9 in boots and more casual shoes (with thicker socks) and the Hallam I had in size 9 were far too big when wearing thin dress socks. They looked a bit ridiculous on my feet to be brutually honest. Like a boy trying to wear his older brothers shoes. If you can, I would suggest going to a store and trying on the shoes with your preferred dress sock. With a thin silk dress sock I could see myself fitting into a Hallam size 8. It’s a tricky shoe to get right. Get to the store to be on the safe side. Speaking from painful (and expensive) experience.

This is quite strange, all shoe makers use more roommy lasts for country shoes, allowing for thicker socks; and more fitted lasts for dress shoes, dress boots and loafers. This is trying to keep sizing consistent for shoes they sell.

All I can do is share my experience. I now have no Hallams because of it. Anyway, after it all I’m not especially fussed. I’ve gone off the chisel toe. Give me a nice round toe like the Connaught. It’s a shame Crockett & Jones don’t make the black Connaught in the Hand Grade. Their Hand Grade are all too ‘sleek’.

 

[Wingtip77]

Thanks for all your help. I've gone for a 9 in the brown Hallam, and a 9.5 in the black Alfred Sargent Armfield, just to cover all the bases.

Do you have a very low instep? Even your Church's Consul facing are completed closed. The problem is that you can size down on slimmer fitting lasts, this may be that you are a real size 8.5, not a 9.

 

[Bleedblue]

@wurger - could you possibly confirm no typo on the Skye II on sale? I was thrilled to see that but just got a note back from C&J with the politest version of “Are you mad, why would we do that?”

Fingers crossed as I’ve been hoping to trade out my Islays in 7UK for the Skye in 7.5... kids, the internet sometimes lies to you about going 1.5 sizes down, and your instep will be greatly angered by it!

I have no idea about the instep talk. The Consul are a G fitting. That might explain some things. In my view, the facing should be closed. I think I have seen some of your pictures with the facing looks wide open. I am a ‘snug’ 8.5, which isn’t what I generally like. With thin dress socks the 8.5 is just nice.
