Yeah, I have a few and really like them. Work day staples.Pretty much for all types of clothing, imo. Hard to beat their prices for suits as well.
It’s a bit muchjust look at the heel though
Found this interesting Cheaney stockist out of Singapore:
Mason and Smith Shoe Shine Shoe Repair & Shoe Store
Providing quality shoe shine and shoe repair services. Repairs and recolouring works for other leather items such as bags, belts and wallet are also available.www.masonandsmith.com
For every pair purchased, they provide a complimentary shine, which makes it rather stunning.
Here’s the Wilfred model sold directly by Cheaney (no shoe shine):

And here’s the same model with the full Mason treatment:

The Mason model looks like something Gaziano & Girling would make. Quite stunning, and what a difference.
Having started with Allen Edmonds I ended with C&J. Figured out the lasts that worked and stuck with them. Can order confidently online.I'm struggling to make sense of my shoe size ordering online and some of the brands I have tried on are too niche for last sizing threads. There aren't brannock devices in my bit of the world but my foot sole length is around 28cm.
I wear:
Tricker's W2298 (James Loafer): says UK7.5 but seller says was supposed to be UK8.5. Fits okay width wise, but the tiniest bit too short.
Magnanni Deerskin Oxfords US 9.5: Took forever to break in, fits like a glove at first but fatigue throughout day.
Stemar Chelsea Boot EU7.5, US 8.5: Tight in the toebox but no heel slip.
Nike Cortez US9.5: Fits well, would love a pinch more toebox room, but wonder if this is as good as it gets.
Adidas Gazelle US10: Ever so slightly large
Things that I've tried:
Loake Chelsea (non 1880) UK9: too large
Clark's Desert Boot US9.5: Too Large
Sid Mashburn (Spain) Chukka US 9.5: Painful heel slippage (large), tight toebox.
Sutor Mantellassi Loafer UK8: Too small
Church's Chukka bookbinder (Ryder?) UK8.5: Too Large
Dunhill Penny Loafer (Italy) UK8: Too small
Mr P Lucien Suede Derby UK8.5, EU42.5: Too Large Again!
Bally Scavone Chelsea UK7.5 EU 41.5: Perfect, too expensive
Can anyone weigh in on what kind of size I should be looking at?
I'm looking at a Carmina Uetam slipper on auction in 8UK, and a Tom Ford loafer in EU 42.5 trying to see if either will fit. I'm also wondering if I'm really UK 7.5 in Tricker's, or UK8.
