** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

$279 is just crazy for a sole replacement. I believe its no longer worthwhile resoling shoes/boots. Better to just pass them on or sell them and buy a new pair instead.

These are the prices on the C&J repair site. Unsure if that includes shipping or a new welt:

If your shoes are otherwise in great condition, a local cobbler should be able to do the same job for about half the price? Only problem is to find someone decent and local to you. The cobbler here charges about €95 for a pair of Dainite soles. Add a few bits and pieces and 2x shipping, and you'll end up €120-150 for a double rubber sole maybe.

Hi, I found these Harry boots by crockett and jones https://www.rogersonshoes.com/mens-...-c32/harry-2570-dark-brown-scotch-grain-p1771

2570 would be Harry Boots own code/reference.
What last these are on will require a C&J SF Expert to examine and comment on

LAST 228​

DATE OF ORIGIN: JANUARY 1954
Last 228 is a Main Collection last, with a medium round toe and generous toe depth. Dating back to the mid 50s, the last was developed to be used for country walking shoes and boots. In 2015, last 228 cemented itself into Crockett & Jones’s legacy, when Radnor in Black Calf appeared in James Bond’s SPECTRE.

• Most iconic style: Snowdon in Oak Wax Hide
• Dates back to 1954
• Best known for its use with the Veldtschoen construction

RETAIL ADVICE
Fitting advice from retail… Last 228 fits true to size. The rugged Commando sole that often accompanies models made on this last is quite firm during the initial wear. Aesthetically its toe box is similar to the 314, 325, and 335 lasts. With the outdoor nature of this boot, keep in mind that you may want to wear heavier weight socks.
