I just received my Tetburys from La Botte Chantilly. What a great deal for someone in the US! For a brand new pair, I paid a little more than half of what I would have paid if I'd gone through Crockett and Jones mail order or though one of the American retailers (Barneys, etc.). My total was $360. Shipping was fast, too. Provided you know your size in C&J shoes — and I did — this is a huge bargain. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the heads up - my black suede tetburys arrived today from the same source - to add to my Tetbury collection!
Would you mind sharing the final cost with delivery etc?
The suede version are €300.30 and delivery was €15 - arrived in less than a week ( with New Year in middle). So still a good discount on £385 on U.K. price. The black and dark brown leather versions are a lot more expensive (c €360) on this site than the suede - though only £10 difference actually in the UK shop, and then the discount is more marginal factoring in our currency rates and postage.
For some reason I had to process in French to get the discount, but that might just be me!
Have I mentioned how much I love these Tetburys? I had questions about the "chisel-toe," but it's very subtle.
The C&J fit guides for me were spot on. I take a 10.5 in the US and ordered a 9.5 here. Perfect fit.
What surprised me most was how comfortable they are.
I own two other C&J models.
The Islay isn't necessarily comfortable or uncomfortable. I'm aware of dressing up when I wear them, and it's OK if they're not sneaker smooth. But it has become my signature footwear. People expect to see me wearing it.
The Radnor, for whatever reason, is a pain. I'm sure I will figure it out, but right now, the stacked heels feel hard and flat. I'm clomping around. On the other hand, I won't give up on this boot. I guess I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I regret I bought mine at the full price...
Thanks for the tip, Stefan!
