Overall fit
slightly large
Crockett & Jones shoes are widely reported to run slightly large and long, so many buyers size down half a size, with exact fit varying by last (e.g. 348, 337, 325).
Tip: Most people take a half size down from their Brannock/sneaker size, and UK sizing means you'll usually order roughly a half size below your US number.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boots | slightly large | medium volume with a bit more room for thicker socks on country lasts | Take a half size down from your measured size, but consider your normal size if wearing heavy socks with country boots; expect a short break-in on stiffer welted leather. |
| Dress shoes | slightly large | medium E width standard on most lasts, neither notably narrow nor wide | Order about a half size down from your US size and account for UK sizing; the sleeker lasts like the 348 fit snug through the waist while the 337 is a touch roomier. |
