If you can get both then you are set

And your next two pairs after that can be

1.) Black Westbourne

2.) Black or Brown Wax Calf Tetbury Boot (great for use in poor weather (rain/snow) because of the waxed calf and because of the dainite sole. Still conservative business dress too...ofc black trumps brown in the world of conservative business dress.

EDITED: Also, the Tetbury is C&J's best selling boot...

I have 4 pairs of them...and I love them

My wife keeps telling me to get something like that but that is CURRENTLY outside of my comfort zone. LOL

 

[PCK1]

Well, whats most important is that you buy shoes that fit you well and serve the purposes of your workplace and wardrobe.

But I get the feeling you will be purchasing a pair of Tetbury's sooner than you think...especially if your wife wants you to get them hahaha

But in all honesty, they are fantastic boots...that can definitely be worn in a conservative business dress wardrobe...and that are a great go-to when the weather sucks.

SF has changed me a lot. I hated neats (ties) but now I have developed a taste to love 'em. I thought they were just atrocious at first but I just didn't know any better. If wife says it is good, then I most likely will end up getting it.

Can anyone advice me what last is the most " British " and most formal for C&J Oxford shoes (suit and a tie)?

Would that be 341? So far, I'm deciding between the Newgate 332, Arden 341, Radstock 341 or Audley 337, but do I miss something?

Please note that I hate even slightly elongated look of the shoe. Thanks.

236 probably has the more traditional toe shape along with Audry. Connaught on the 236 has been sold for 30+ years so its a safe bet its not as avant-garde as other lasts.

Does anyone know what the correct sizing conversion would be for Barneys' C&J shoes on the 341 last? For example, a Sydney loafer marked 8 US, would it be 7.5 UK or 7 UK? I've read both...

The Weymouth is possibly the most beautiful shoe of all shoemakers.
