How do you select a size of their men’s shoes?Because Crockett & Jones is a British company, their shoes are sized according to U.K. standards. Generally their men's sizes are half a size below U.S. sizes, meaning that if you wear a 10.5 in a U.S. size, you would want a 10 in U.K. sizing. There are plenty of size-comparison charts available, so if you are not used to U.K. sizing, you can look up your U.S. size and find out what size you need by U.K. standards.

Most shoes are available in half-size increments, and some have elastic sides that provide a looser, more flexible fit.
