Yes would love a pair of the black or brown Moltons! Those eBay ones have been on for quite some time I believe—unfortunately they’re a little too big for me and don’t have the “DC accurate” Dainite soles.

I think DC's Molton are Vibram soles.....like mines ?:)
I think those ones on ebay were with a leather sole and the owner had them resoled with a kind of Vibram material.....
Lauren from Crockett & Jones said if someone wanted a pair of brown or black Molton boots it would be around £700
And that's why I'm looking for used! I was hoping maybe someone from the last custom run batch of the rough out leather was not wearing their's and wanted to sell.

Well I know for certain that DC's rough-out suede Molton's have Dainite soles and I just assumed that the brown and black suede ones have the same soles—but a definite answer would have to come from someone who knew a bit more about those boots of his or who was part of those related projects.
I believe DC’s brown boots have the same soles the brown boots on eBay have. I’d be fine either way. Might have to expand my wtb to include other C&J boots as I’m looking for my first pair.

According to Info here the brown suede Molton’s he owns have a micro rubber sole.
Rightio so the black suede and brown rough-out have Dainite and the brown suede have the flat rubber.
Wish I was a member back when those two AJB Molton projects happened...£350 instead of the crazy special order price of £700 odd would have been fantastic for what you were getting! Wonder what required number of a C&J group order would be now? During those projects it jumped up from 6 to 12—could it still be doable? And on a similar note I wonder if the price per item would have gone up as well?
I agree I wasn’t around when those special orders were happening. I thought about contacting Simon or whoever arranged it to see if any other special runs might happen at some time.

Per my discussion with Lauren last February I think that was the only price change but I wouldn't be surprised if they went up a little bit. Here is a screen shot of my email where she broke down the pricing based on a group or individual purchase.....
I wanted to do a run of the Molton boots but I decided against it because of some issues with the Rough cut version.......water under the bridge!

You can special order these directly from Crockett and Jones but it ain't cheap!
You have this and can put some insoles eventually !!!
Good find!

I've had these on my watch list for a long while debating about if I could make them fit lol.
And that's why I'm looking for used! I was hoping maybe someone from the last custom run batch of the rough out leather was not wearing their's and wanted to sell.
Mines are one size longer and I put an insole.....they fit excellently

OK…..thanks Asp.
I have CJs with Dainite soles but honestly, I'm very fond of my Molton with Vibram soles, they are perfect
