I have a pair and these are my most important casual shoe from October to May. I live in Oregon where it rains a lot. I wear these all the time and have been in downpours and they keep my feet dry and the rough out suede is hard wearing I have little maintenance to do afterwards with them. And besides the practicality of them for me, they are just cool because Bond wears them!
I find these surprisingly more comfortable than any shoe I own. I’ve worn them all day at festivals and whatever without discomfort. I’ve had them since they came out, don’t worry about scuffs… just take a regular pencil eraser to remove any stains and use some sort of bristle brush to blend it back to normal after. Also I applied a light layer of water repellant spray over them
Lovely boots! I tried these on in London, having had C&J before, however I had to size down by a half with this last. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but my oldest C&J are the Tetbury and they are nearly 10 Years old, and are worn a lot. I’ve always bought the shoe trees with mine, keeps them in good shape, stop any odour and easier to polish them.
If you want to prolong the life of these wonderful boots, always use shoe trees. Don’t need to get the original C&J ones, decent cedar trees from Amazon will do.
We have the same scenario my shoe size fluctuate between those two sizes (10 & 10.5). I'm buying a Molton but don't know my fitting on this shoes, I would like to ask you order 9.5Uk how slightly big are the shoes on your feet?
I live in Northamptonshire borders Crockett and Jones and Trickers are 20 minutes away, the best a man can get in this price range. I own several pairs from both, especially like the rough out suede Coniston they get better with age and wearing
It is a nice pair of boots. I wanted to get the Specter double monk boot/shoes but the price at that time was prohibitive. I ended up getting a similar version from Paul Evans but in the back of my mind I still want the OG. Maybe I will get these ones instead.
No need to baby,Crockett and jones are made to last decades. They come up looking brand new when you treat them. I recommend checking the channel ‘the elegant Oxford’ to give you a bit of knowledge to look after them!
Lovely boots. May I suggest a relatively budget version for those of us who don't wish to spend quite so much? Loake Pimlico in brown calf. There is no question that the C&G are better in every way and screen accurate. But the Pimlico's are a good hand made mid range option to achieve a very similar look.
I bought these this summer and love them! My only concern is the fear I have of scuffing them up every time I wear them haha! But they are beautiful and so well constructed!
They won’t scuff in the traditional sense. They are very hard wearing because of the rough out suede. In another RUclips video, I’ve seen someone take a knife to a rough out suede shoe and they don’t slice/penetrate the leather. I know from personal experience, I’ve nicked them over you name it, branches, furniture, etc. and they don’t scuff.
I bought these earlier this year and absolutely love them. Yes they are expensive but they last forever and seem to be getting better with wear

Awesome man! That’s great to hear. Glad you’re enjoying them!

Bought these about 4 years ago. Wear them a lot, will last a lifetime. The soles are extremely durable. I’ve changed the laces once.
Well done...love the aerial shot....are the front scuffed up?
Looking at the dressier Brecon model in country calf, storm welted
Thanks for the review. I have now ordered a pair thanks to your recommendation

Agree. I use cedar shoe trees for all my shoes, especially for the good ones.

Another great review! Just reinforces my interest in purchasing a pair for myself. Your reviews usually cost me money!

How do you like the Paul Evan’s?
I'm deciding between getting these or the tetbury chukka's... These are much more unique but im in an office all day..

Looks do not last. Had 2 pairs = waste of money. CJ every day of the week
Thank you for sharing this!
I love those boots and wear them all the time!
Chukka boots.
For stomping divots
at the polo match.
Also called desert boots.
Love them but I am between sizes unfortunately. I like them so much that I am even tempted to get them nevertheless!!
Very nice review

True to size?
