Not sure if this has been mentioned but I have some nice Kilgour shoes by CJ and they are definitely handgrade, not somewhere in between.
Example is these which are exactly the handgrade model Stanley in black suede - you can see all the handgrade features

waste of money imo to beat up some C&J, get a pair of doc air martins or wolverine to beat a boot up *edit leather is too soft on these to work like combat boots!

What are the features of CJ handgrade shoes, in general?

- leather insoles are one full piece from heel to toe, not half piece.
- channeled sole
- more refined leather

I love C&Js too. How do you like the Hallams? What color?

Interesting variation on the Lowndes..with the addition of a punched toe seam.

This shoe is also on the 348 last.

Love the Hayling. I've got it in suede. The calf looks great, too.

Wow, those are really nice.

Where would someone from the USA be able to buy those?
