I Still Have The Same Modele Demi-Chasse In Brown Color, Since 1995 Whit The Original Leather Sole In Good Condition. JM Weston Is Unique For More Durabity.
I think this sort of shoe that concentrates on getting the basics right appeals to me far more than the more esoteric shoes you often review. Understated but high quality in a subtle way without saying "look at me".
Good review. I think there's a mathematical formula for great shoes, and maybe J.M. Weston figured it out. You have a critical eye and weren't able to find a significant flaw - winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Thank you for the review. A question about the sizing. You mentioned purchasing a half size down. You mentioned size 9.5 (a "9/" in JMW specs). Are you a 10UK or a 10US? Am I correct in assuming that you purchased these in a standard D width? There's not a lot of information on JMW sizing on the internet and much of it is conflicting and based on the 180 Moccasin. So your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I’m a 10.5US or 9.5UK unless it’s a very sharp toe and then a 10UK. I reached out to them and I believe they looked at my actual measurements. I’m a 9 in JMW only for this shoe and the full hunt. Other lasts I’ll probably be a 9.5UK.
They’re very different shoes. The full hunt is much closer to the Dover in craft/ design although the construction is norvegese and the apron a simple French apron on the hunt and the skin/ boar hair combination on the Dover. Personally I’d go for the Dover every time given that choice. Though a Balfour from CJ might be an alternative to the Dover at this price point.
It’s similar. I actually showed them side by side in the unboxing. The CJ is very comfy but I only wore it a couple hours where I’ve had two dovers more than a year. So difficult to say definitively. I’ll do a shoe battle after a few more wears. I have to do Meeemin compare first as promised.

Nice review as always.
The Demi-Chase in mid-brown is a Parisian icon.
I love these shoes but I'm also partial to JM Weston.

Heyy, are you thinking about buying the full Weston Full-Hunt as well? I would like to hear your thoughts on them :)
Eventually I will likely try them. First I’ll try a more traditional French design from JMW to ensure they’ll be in the top 40 brands.
This or the Edward Green Dover? 😢

@@wishoeguy the Crockett and jones have a different apron than the Dover right? Which one is the most comfy?

@@wishoeguy so the CJ might equal the dover in comfort?
Yes. It’s a very well made shoe.
