My Whiskey Shell Skyes finally came in the mail! What a perfect "casual" country boot.

How does a 341 last translate into a 348 last?

I fit a 341 last Sidney 8.5E UK pretty snug. What would this be in a 348 last Tetbury?

I have a high instep and find the 341 to fit me better. I have to size the 348 .5 step up so that it wouldn't kill the upper part of my foot. This result in a longer shoes and a little bit of heel slip. I wear 7.5UK in 341, 360 and whatever is the last for islay boots but 8 in 348.

I thought we're already sure the length is US size but width is UK D thus narrow for US

Buy from Barneys and not Bs Warehouse. You can return then. See my measurements post if you are near 9US for some standards. My Highburys (348 last) are marked 9/4. I'd wager they are like a 9-9.5US in narrow. But fits like 9.5 US carmina Simpson which is good for TTS 9US.

If we're not referring to the 348 I think the lengths are skewed for some of those measurements, I.e., we can't rely on 348 measurements to compare for less chiseled lasts.

Anyone know if these Kingsman boots from Mr Porter are made by C&J? They are George Cleverley RTW but look very much like the connistons!

Thanks. How would these differ to connistons if they were built to hand grade specs?

Hi all - this is my first post in the C&J thread. I'm looking to get a couple pairs of Chelsea boots to fill a gap in my wardrobe and it seems like C&J is the best out there (under $1K). I'm looking at picking up both the Chelsea 3 and 5 (one leather one dainite sole). So I'm looking at the 238 last and the 335.

Typically I wear a 10.5 in UK sizing, but I've only ever tried on Trickers.

I'm a 10.5 in Alden Barrie and all Viberg, 11.5 in Alan Edmonds, and a 12 in US sneakers like Nike. Would 10.5 be right for me in the 238 and 335? I have a long narrow foot. I know I want these Chelsea's to be snug since without laces I hate having a shoe slide around my foot.

Cheers and thanks!
