The Borghini Coniston are sold out in my size and as far as I could tell, Rogersons C&J are all built on the 228 last but I’ll take another look in case I’ve missed something.

 

[shoefan57]

Yep all on 228 last except a Pembroke on 317 and a 232 last shoe. Maybe Rogerson’s used to use 335 last?

Are these Consitons?

Very strange they'd show these Conistons with a suit. Don't really strike me as a boot that would work with a suit, given the dark brown scotch grain, derby enclosure, and again, a boot. Conistons are more rugged, country wear.

Well, the movie didn't think that oxfords could be brogues, so there you go.

Received those today, really happy with the navy Cordovan.

Yeah, someone was not well informed.

I used to think that the Barrie last was the best casual last. That last paired with the Gunboat style is iconic. When I came across the 325, I have pretty much forgotten about the Barrie. The 325 looks as if (tailoring reference incoming) someone took the Barrie last fixed the hem, took a little off the waist, and tapered that chest. ??

Thanks to the 325, no one should be without either (or all) of the following styles.... Coniston, Cavendish, and of course the Pembroke.

sorry for the blast from the past quote - but I was wondering if you would mind sharing how the sizing from Barrie to 325 compares? Do you take the same size?

FWIW I'm a US8D on the Barrie and UK7E on the 325, 335 and 365 lasts.

I'm a US9.5D on Barrie and UK9E in 325, 341

Same as @jischwar, I take a half size down from the Barrie. (325 8.5uk, Barrie US9).

I find both those lasts fit similar when I use the sizing above. The 325 fits better, though, in the instep, and hugs the heel better.

Hi,
I just took delivery of a pair of Chelsea 8 boots as I wanted something more dressy and sleeker than the Chelsea 5. I noticed the left boot the sole on the inside is not shaped similar to the right boot, it sticks out for longer. It looks more obvious when I tried them on. I think it throws off the shape of the boot as it does not look as sleek as the right. I am wondering what part of manufacturing this is due to? I would imagine it is with their tolerances. I guess I'm at once you see it can't unsee it but also wondering would it lessen with wear? I don't have this visual difference with my other C&Js. Thanks in advance and apologize for my lack of proper shoe terminology.

I thought the same thing about my Boston loafers. It bugged for a short time, but with a bit of wear I don't notice it at all.

Wouldn’t think so. Unless something has changed, if it’s a cleverley marked as “kingsman” it will be made by Alfred Sargent.

If it’s a standard RTW cleverley it’ll be crockett but mostly with handgrade lasts (337, 358 mostly).

In either case a cleverley wouldn’t be the same shape and last as a coniston. You might check out “Purdeys” they have a few crocketts in more standard lasts
