I like the C&J unlined chukka, but I don´t have experience with unlined shoes, what´s the difference or purpose for this? I guess they look like more casual after some wear, like a bit unstructured .

Those Conninstons look fine

Any idea what C&J would charge to resole my Coniston boots with a rubber danite sole?

I do not know if they will resole to a sole of your choice. Factory resole/refurb is roughly 300 USD after shipping costs.

They can resole to any sole they carry. It has gone up to 300? I definitely remembered lower when I went to the NYC store last time

We've been debating this in the last several posts. There has been no conclusion. If I were ordering from Barney's online today, I think I would order my US, UK and the half size in between.

I can confirm that in my experience, a Barneys Finsbury (last 341) is not the same size as stamped size in a shoe straight from C&J

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!

I'm 10.5 UK in EG 202, 606 and 888; and 11 in C&J Coniston suede chukka

Is that US size? and is it in the suede chukka (200 last) and/or the Coniston? thanks!

In April I had C&J NYC change my dark brown cordovan Harlech's from double leather to Ridgeway soles. Cost was $210 total, which included mailing both ways. It took about 6 weeks and was very easy. If I remember correctly there was no tax, and because the boots are going back to the UK for repairs there are no import/export duties and fees.

Gents,

I've started a GMTO of this great boot, an old RL style:

For details, please head over to the GMTO thread. If we're quick, we can have this order placed before the price increase in August!

Cheers,
SKM

Oh no, I believe they are one of those crappy shoes made in South Africa under the same name ..

Another price increase? Any estimates on how great the price increase will be?

well someone's got to pay for all the free shoes to british-themed movies, lol

Not in exact numbers, but apparently too substantial for them to provide any idea about the price if the order was placed after August. Yet another reason to have it placed now - we're already halfway there
