Edward Green Shoes

Last week I finally received my pair of made-to-order Edward Green shoes and thought I'd share them. They are superior to everything I was expecting. The most comfortable shoe I've ever put on (and they're not even broken in)! I've only worn them with a grey glen plaid suit thus far, which looked fantastic, but still have several others that they'll work with (2 grey pins and a blue chalk) that I can't wait to break them out with.

The Brits and EG shoes

Just when you think no one could improve on a half brogue - EG takes it to the max! Wonderful - glad you are enjoying them - 202 last perchance?

Nice shoos indeed.

l want to special order some captoes in navy blue. Not so keen about the $1,500 ASD price tag though. Sooo much money for a machine constructed shoo.

They're the 82 last - which is also the shape of the trees.

Oh and the color is called Edwardian Antique.

I'm going to pretend that shoes this nice do not even exist. I will go on convincing myself that my Allen Edmonds are the best shoes made on earth. To be honest, I would feel strange even looking at, let alone talking to somebody about, shoes that I know I will never afford. As if I didn't belong in the shop.

kools - consider yourself lucky. AE are much more versatile than EG. You look perfectly ok wearing AEs with Jeans or Khakis - EG usually work only with suits IMHO.

I *would* consider them if I would like norwegians. Sadly enough I simply don't like that style. And when it comes to Derbys, Oxfords or Monks, the EG's are a bit too elegant I think. And I've tried it several times.[huh]

I wear Norwegians with khakis, and if you don't like Norwegians I agree with you. You'd need to like a model in their country shoe range to wear with khakis or jeans.

Edward Green RTW

Aren't there EG RTW shoes, as well? What are everyone's thoughts on those? I live near Sky Valet, which I believe carries them.

You can buy more than half a dozen EG models RTW at Sky Valet.

The challenge comes in after your first pair or two. Retail choices are limited. A basic shoe wardrobe of seven or eight pair cannot be accommodated from the stock of any EG retailer I know of anywhere in the world.

MTO, you can obtain any of a hundred basic styles on any of half a dozen lasts, in any of a dozen leathers. As your shoe desires grow, it's an addictive way to satisfy them.

Howdy, neighbor! I'm a very short walk from Sky Valet. They do have them and it's a great shop.
