I actually just got these on eBay for an absolute steal at $200 when these retail at $650 (https://www.sidmashburn.com/black-sid-mashburn-cap-toe-balmoral.html). English Made and you can tell! The suede lining reminds me of what you'd get in Crockett and Jones shoes. Actually I believe that Sid Mashburn uses Alfred Sargent, another English Shoemaker, to make their English shoes.
Sizing wasn't too hard. I asked a Sid Mashburn sales associate do their shoes deviate in size between Spanish and English shoes since I have some of their Made In Spain Chelsea Boots and fortunately they don't.
The previous owner wore them only ONCE outside and that is evident from the sole. Supple leather and a VERY comfortable shoe. The only thing I wish it had was the hidden stitching like the newer Sid Mashburn Cap Toes have but I'm not complaining at this price.
