i would save the money and do one of these. They are bad for the priceI hear ya.... I would love to see a suggestion if you have a pair in mind. Found an alden for the the same price but was not thrilled about the shape as much
Hi BespokeKiwi....its a good question...with a difficult answer...as this is a very subjective matter...
I own both the 348 and 363...
Generally...I size up a half size when going from the 348 to the 363....meaning in the 348 I wear a 10.5E and in the 363 I wear an 11E.
In my oxfords, monks, and derbies on the 348...I wear a 10.5E.
I have 2 pairs of loafers and a pair of oxfords on the 363...in all of them I wear an 11E.
But this is where it gets tricky with BOOTS on the 348...I fit better into an 11E.
So...this is my experience with the 348 versus the 363...
Whether you can decipher anything from it...I do not know...but I hope I have been of some help. All that I can say is that my experience with these two lasts is very extensive...as they are two of my favorites.
I also like the 341...which is very similar to the 363...but I find fits a little bit more snugly and thus translates (for my foot) to a better fit for loafers...but this is a deviation from the topic at hand...

Hi, i have recently bought a CJ pembroke model in tan scotch grain...im quite happy with them, but i have some questions and it'd be great if you could please give me some advice:
Firstly, i have seen in the CJ website that the laces of the pembroke tan grain model, are a bit different from mines. The ones on the website are a bit more "orange" and mines are quite more ""darker" (they are actually black)
And the tongue of the shoe is slightly different too.... Is this normal?have they changed these little details?someone understands what i mean?
Then, is there any difference in the way that scotch grain must be cared?i mean, i have some other CJ leather models but i do not know if in this particular case I should use another care method as this is "scotch grain"
And finally, what do you think about this model?would you wear it in summer?or with grey trousers and blue jacket and a tie?or these are "too casual" for that?thank hou very much in advance.
Do any of you guys use a wax on your chestnut monkton's? I bought a tin of the Saphir neutral wax to use on brown shoes and I'm curious whether it would work on chestnut? I want to give the toe a little extra shine, not the whole shoe.
neutral is always a safe bet and especially for chestnut if you want to keep that color.
