Crown Northampton - Dress Sneakers

Anyone got their chukkas? If so, whats the last like? Slim/wide?

Crown has just launched a version of their Everdon wholecut boot with a chunkier Viberg sole, which they've dubbed the Rambler.

I like them, particularly in the grey Horween buffalo.

@Giles the blog post about the Everdon Rambler boots mentions that all their footwear is available in narrow, standard, and wide fittings, with extra-wide options available on request. It might be worth dropping them an email to ask.

[Giles]

I contacted them and no mention was made about wide for the desert boots. But they have sent me a pair to try……I’ll let you know

@Giles I have a pair of their Woodford Desert Boots.

I got them in their standard width (they offer you the option to change the width when ordering). I can say the sole is quite narrow (even for my relatively narrow foot). They are true to size in terms of length.

Here are some (not so good) shots:

@Giles I'll be interested to hear how you get on with them. I'm tempted by a pair of the Ramblers myself.

So, I got in touch with Crown re: the desert boots. They said that they would send me a pair to try on see if the fit worked as long as I placed an order. I ordered a pair of Brown Janus Calf. The sent me a pair of Sand Janus Calf that had been used in a photo shoot, and were therefore "not perfect".

They fitted, so they did me a deal on the Sand, and I await the brown....

I too would be interested to hear your impressions.

I am gonna be putting a pair in for a sneaker next year.

Been thinking about it last 2 months

I love the look of their Everdon Rambler, might make a trip to try some on in person in the new year.

[Giles]

The fit very well, very well made, and just what I was wanting in a Chukka...Came with spare laces, shoe bags and a nice leather keyring.

Which size did you go for? They look quite narrow in the front.

Great, thank you.

@EdH Hey there - did you receive the exchange pair? Did your regular size work?

[EdH]

@americanathreads hey dude, yes, they let me exchange, and the size up, in a wide G fit, 10.5 UK / 45 EU, works great. I will try to remember to post a pic next time I wear them!

[americanathreads]

@EdH nice! Glad they worked out for you. They look incredible! Would you say they’ve held up and are worth the cost? And if you don’t mind, what’s your normal sneaker size / Brannock? Do you have quite wide feet to warrant the G?
