Hi!
I will soon be ordering a pair of Crockett and Jones, either Arden or Malton.
So, just thought I'd see if anyone hade some input about the sizing of those lasts compared to other brands.
Arden is made on the 341 last and Malton is 360. They are both only available in the E width.
What I own as reference are:
C & J Coniston, size 7E.
Loake Edward size 7G.
Allen Edmonds Park Avenue size 8E.
Church's Perth size 7.5G.
And I'd say they all fit quite well. With the AE's and Church's instep maybe fitting a bit snugly, as in I get a little bit of that V-shape with the vamp showing no matter how tightly I would tie them. No biggie.
Anyway, I've heard/read that many C & J shoes are pretty narrow so I guess thats the main thing worrying me since I seem to have a bit wider than average feet for my size. My Coniston fit fine but they are boots, I've heard 7 fit more like 7.5, and they are on the 325 last which I think is a bit wider, so I don't really know how good they work as reference.
Well, I went on longer than I thought necessary... Any info is very welcome. Thanks in advance!
