They did indeed 
One of a few pairs of crocketts I have that just aren’t made any more. One of the others being my rough-out Exmoors on a 348 last. Probably my favourite beater shoes!
Some work shoes. Need either sole or a heel on one or two. Having a soak in renovateur.
The Woodstock are the favourites. Superbly comfortable.
I’ve got a pair of 8 Burford on leather sole if anyone wants to make an offer. Same as the ones bottom left. New. I’ll get round to a proper advert at some point.

These can be found on cheap suit second hand car salesmen - estate agents and hifi dealers
Proof positive cunt shoes.

Timing!
C&J sales were on when I passed their shops in London a week or so ago!
C&J’s pricing seems to have gone through the roof in the last 12-18 months. Shoes that were about £450 now seem to be £550-600. Very annoying as I was considering buying a pair but can’t really justify it now. But yes they do have regular sales so will have to see then.
I think those prices have been correct for the last year or so,
Cheaney were about £450, Tricker and C&J were about £100 above that.
Sorry you’re right, I meant to say ‘went through the roof…’. The price of the pair I had my eye on suddenly increased about a year ago.
The sale was still on today, but these weren’t in it.
These were cordovan. The equivalent shoe in calf leather is £575.
Although having looked it up online I’ve now realised that I already have a pair, but in black 
Make them an offer: those ones have gone all wrinkly and are the exact same shade of brown as what I just flushed away to the North Sea

C&J have been known to cross the line of pointydom.
Most of them have sales on now. Of interest to this group:
