Who's size 10eUK don't fit

 

[Jazzmenco]

I heard that 7000 last is half size bigger than most of the other lasts,
can anyone confirm this?

If I wear 8965 last in 6E,
will 5.5E in 7000 last fit me well?

I'm talking about this Philip II here

I find the 7000 last to be a generous fit. I can wear 9.5 in the 7000 but I'm a 10 in the 8000 and most other lobb lasts.

Are the JL Chapels considered made in one whole cut?? considering it dosen't have a rear seam.

 

[Texasmade]

It is a whole cut but not because it doesn't have a rear seam. It's a whole cut because it's made from only cutting one giant piece of leather rather than multiple smaller pieces. The Luffield doesn't have a seam but isn't a whole cut.

Thanks for the reply! One more questions is for prestige soles.....does anyone know if they are genuine oak bark? and if so, are the from JR, or J&FJ Baker, or in-house?

Thanks!

For JL jodhpur boot suede do you gents just go one full size down or size & half down from US sizing. I had to do that with EB suede chelsea boot aka go size & half down

I typically wear the same size for lasts 7000 and 8000; however, I find the 7000 a bit roomier. The 7000 =

works so much better than the 8695 for me.

Thanks I will try this out.

I go a full size down usually and it'll be a nice fit. I have gone just the half size down if I want to wear thicker socks and or just generally have an easier time when putting the boots on and taking them off.

Thank just asked because heard 7000 last is more roomie. And in Enzo bonafe chelsea. Boot I ended up going to 8uk size & half down on suede chelsea. From Us 9.5uk 8.5uk was little bit big & wanted a good snug fit.

Pretty sure they're genuine oak bark. Not sure where they're from.

Sorry, most of mine are 7000 or 8000 last.

I understand JL, EG, G&G and C&J Handgrade must get the outsoles from J Baker &Co.
