Does anybody own a pair of these?
Do they 'true to size' - I'm an 8 to 8.5 in most shoes that I buy.
Thanks

Yep I’ve got a pair (have three pairs of Panama Jacks) and I’d get a size 8’s as I think they come up slightly bigOriginally Posted by Wolfman53

I’m size eight,my Panama Jacks are a tad large but that allows for thicker winter socks.
Thanks both

30 years after my last pair at the end of my student days, I'm breaking in these 1460s for this winter.

I've been enjoying these DM's on my return to the UK. I'll be back to flip flops by the end of the month.
They look rather different to the DM’s I remember from my youth.I've been enjoying these DM's on my return to the UK. I'll be back to flip flops by the end of the month.
Had not really looked or considered them vs a default timberland boot for my winter boot. Will have to have a closer look at them.
These are the cemented (glued on outsole and sidewall stitched) range, as opposed to the traditional welt sewn and heat sealed construction.
Do these count as winter boots? They're constructed to be waterproof if that matters. Crockett & Jones Snowdon. Picked them up from their factory shop on the weekend...
Does that make them a better / lighter construction Jon, or is just creating a different look / footprint?
I know that’s not the correct word, but it escapes me!)
Generally a lighter boot, due to less PVC in the outsole and lighter weight upper materials. Although they also have many styles in leather and also heavier weight industrial styles.
So I guess it is just a broadening of the brands range.
I do find that the cemented range is much easier to break in.
They look great- just seen the price though- wow!Do these count as winter boots? They're constructed to be waterproof if that matters. Crockett & Jones Snowdon. Picked them up from their factory shop on the weekend...
Thank you.
That's the beauty of living near Northampton. These were "only" £250.
What days are they open now it used to be fri afternoons and sat mornings the few times I went it was full of foreign tourist’s
Not sure of the full list of opening times, but on Saturday just gone, it was open until 4pm.
Indeed, it tends to be full of tourists or resellers. There were 4 students from Sweden on Saturday buying 10 or so pairs between them.
Nice - you have fine taste in footwear.Do these count as winter boots? They're constructed to be waterproof if that matters. Crockett & Jones Snowdon. Picked them up from their factory shop on the weekend...
I need to make a visit to the C&J shop.
I picked up a pair of Purdey rough out boots made by C&J ( similar to coniston but slightly tweaked last).
This is a huge selling point for me.
2yrs of basically wearing slippers has seen my feet so pampered and soft that even wearing worn in leather shoes is not comfortable for long periods.
The thought of breaking in DMs does not appeal to me in the slightest right now. However I miss buying shoes & boots - that said there are still 3 pairs of unworn Barkers in the wardrobe.
I’ve never known a brand to take so long to break in, but then to be so comfortable.
Switched out for the Cabelas today. Now these are super comfy, and wide fitting.
Bought a pair of Sorel Caribou at the weekend and they came yesterday. Bloody hell these seem like very good quality winter boots! Internal wool and felt inner liner/sock.
However, I've ended up sending back today. Fantastic boots and value, but just seem overkill for me in the UK for my use at least. But would recommend on first impression for people who walk the dogs etc in winter
Great boots but your right unless your in thick snow they’re an Overkill. I haven’t worn mine for a few years now since I moved.Bought a pair of Sorel Caribou at the weekend and they came yesterday. Bloody hell these seem like very good quality winter boots! Internal wool and felt inner liner/sock.

They look great, and as you know from the On discussions, a wider fit is required.I’ve never known a brand to take so long to break in, but then to be so comfortable.

Added to the research list.

I think they count if you will wear them out in the muck and snow :)Do these count as winter boots? They're constructed to be waterproof if that matters. Crockett & Jones Snowdon. Picked them up from their factory shop on the weekend...
Anybody ever bought boots from Hogg's of Fife the Jason boots look nice and decent value

Don’t know what the Jason’s are but I still wear a pair of shoes bought from hoggs in the early 80s they’re totally bomb proof.

I guess I'm turning this into a more generic boot thread. Being on a leather sole, I'm less likely to wear these in the cold/with salt/grit laid down. Arrived this morning; Tricker's superboot in ridge kudu reverse suede. Trying to decide if I tart them up a bit with red laces.
Cracking those, big fan of trickers.
My new faves:

I've had a pair of Jason boots for years now and they've still going strong despite never really having been looked after properly. (Or at all, really, come to think of it.) I must have had them well over ten years now, although to be fair, they only get about three months' wear a year. They were dead comfy right from the start too and didn't take any breaking in at all. In the unlikely event of them them dying before I do, I'm definitely getting another pair!
Cheers gents. They're an exclusive design, made for A Fine Pair of Shoes. Currently running in the sale.
Many thanks for the heads up. Have just bought a pair of shoes from AFoP as a result.
I cannot bring myself to wear suede shoes because my OCD cannot deal with the first scars they will inevitably get from me but those are lovely. I’ll have your C&J if you prefer those, though

I never bother spending much on suede boots as they always end up looking knackered in a relatively short space of time compared with leather ones even very expensive ones and good quality leather is always a lot easier to restoreI cannot bring myself to wear suede shoes because my OCD cannot deal with the first scars they will inevitably get from me but those are lovely.

Not exactly winter boots but just ordered a pair of Grenson Parker in black.
Well they are boots

Ironically, I was wearing my Sorel 1964 Premium boots today but only because I was travelling to a ski resort!Bought a pair of Sorel Caribou at the weekend and they came yesterday. Bloody hell these seem like very good quality winter boots! Internal wool and felt inner liner/sock.

They are too warm for almost anything in the U.K. and these ones are a bit more lightweight compared to the Caribou.
They are surely one of the best winter boots if you have “proper” winter mind
Grenson Parker arrived today. Beautiful.
Treated myself to a pair of Viberg 2030 Service Boots this week.
First time wearing these in at least a year.
Waiting for something at St James so thought a pic would be very TZ.
Lot of the boots I see don't really look like winter boots. Too dressy and more like walk to the car and drive to the underground parking at work boots.
I used to try and take my daily walks in my Greb Kodiak boots, but no insulation along with steel toe and insole not so great.
Picked up a pair of Ugg Felton boots. No problem walking 2 miles a day in these. Even in snow covered streets and -20 weather. Feet warm and snug.
Most I ever paid for boots or shoes. $350 Canadian with taxes

That’s because in the UK we have a different definition of what winter is.

I'm very happy to wear mine in the snow, we just don't get very much of it...
what make are the bottom ones in the photo they look nice
They look like Loake Bedale.
They are Tricker's, called the Ottenburger. They were part of a special collection. In the words of Tricker's, "While looking through our archives in our Northampton shoe factory a couple of years ago, we stumbled upon a Tricker’s order book dated 1960. Among many of the beautifully handwritten orders inside, we found a request for special boots to be made for Sir Edmund Hillary and his Himalaya expedition team."

What are the black pair? I like them.
As mentioned below and on point regards a winter boot!
Here’s my Ugg hannen boots mega warm and waterproof and perfect for long walks with the dog when its muddy and the le chameau for when its really bad
I have a collection of red wings, trickers and grenson on that i love but they are more of a fashion boot than a winter boot
