Amazing. What type of sole do you have on those?

Amazing. What type of sole do you have on those?

Came on Dainite mate. I’d have possibly chosen Ridgeway. Is the 25 year anniversary boot so I had no hand in the specs. The hatch shell is.. 💋

There is a shop with a sale on C&J. A lot of pairs left for solid price! A few Coniston variations aswell.

Another Tan Coniston

Speaking of Coniston, here are mine (bought at the factory in 2017) braving the snow and cold last night when it was -11C.

There seems to be a few Coniston TSG landing on this page, thought I’d throw in my new acquisitions.

Did a quick search of the thread before posting and think mine might be the only ones. My newly arrived Archie in TSG (Coniston on a 228 last and F fitting) made by C&J for Rogersons Footwear in Scotland. Apologies for the lighting, they look darker but are 100% Tan. I will be darkening these over time though with Saphir cream and wax, just suits me better.

Had a pair of Harry (Islay on the same last and width) from Rogersons nearly 10 years ago, this fit appears to be my sweet spot.

Nice. Got a Chelsea from them a few years ago on 335.

Matching @Crafty Cumbrian today. I think I would’ve put these on leather, but would roll Ridgeway over the Dainite too. Not that anything takes away from these as is.

Wrong thread.

Second wear for my Audley. Rather pleased with them, good fit, although I would prefer them somewhat snugger, overall and in particular at the heel. I've learned that a close hugging heel cup, preventing any slippage, is crucial for maximum comfort, at least for me. Most of the English lasts have a rather roomy heel, which is negative, especially on loafer styles. Very impressed with the leather quality, which seems very crease resistant. The leather sole is pleasantly stiff.

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).

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.
