There are some tempting deals indeed

I ordered the Westfield in dark brown suede. Photos will follow when they arrive.

they look great, is that the color out of the box or did you shine them before wear?
According to C&J the 363 last (eg Lonsdale) is supposed to have a snugger fitting heel with reduced heel slippage. I have both Lonsdale and Belgrave (same last as Audley) but I’m not sure to feel any material difference, both are great fitting lasts.

Original colour.

Something a little naughty for the weekend..

I almost forgot I have them - PRL by C&J, made on the 325 last. Currently my only pair of cordovan shoes but I'm thinking about getting myself another pair, this time of penny loafers.

@DorianGreen , my experience with large, roomy heels in English shoes is similar. At the moment I found only one maker who uses a last offering a large, comfortable toe box with a narrow heel at the same time - Vass Budapesters (BP last).

I have a similar pair. Think it’s called Cigar the shade of Cordovan on mine. Mine have loads of colour variation on the panels. Yours look great, nice and even! It’s a lovely make-up! Enjoy!

Got these Cavendish in black suede from the online sale. I’ve been wanting a pair of these for some time as I’ve enjoyed wearing my Chelsea 8 in black suede. It’s much more versatile than black leather. It’s difficult for to photograph though.

Another rookie question and by no means I wish to piss off anybody here but why isn’t there any buzz on shell Harlech which looks splendid on the 341 last compared to, say, a Coniston on 325 Or 375 ?

Ok, I'll bite 😁

Found these whiskey Harlechs in my size over the holidays at the NYC Madison shop while shopping for black oxfords (picked those up as well)

I couldn't help but buy them...It was too tempting.

Totally my point 😅

Hi, two questions about soles:
1. Are the leather soles on Cordovan shoes the same as mainline? Or are they thicker or oak-bark tanned?
2. Is it possible to get hold of heel replacements for the City sole? Replacing it with a different design looks a bit odd.
