Yes, same exact leather inside as outside.

That's what I had heard as well. I know the Edward Greens that I have also have a rather thick, waxy, and supple leather when compared to other leathers I own, but I have no way of comparing this to the Trickers grassmere, Hoggs of Fife, or Lotus boots that you own. This is someone else's...

Wow, I imagine most of those shoemakers stopped using Zug a little while ago. Although I still see a limited amount of EG Zug out there, but very little. It's a real shame in one aspect, but since I have a pair it's also kind of cool in another aspect.

Yep, my size. LOL

Fabulous and a split toe as well. How many Zugs do you actually have?

Great story. Wow, these are probably in my size. Would you say These are a half size or a full size down from a U.S. Size?

Actually I thought of him when I saw these. I thought it was rather odd to see two different pairs of the same type of boot from the same time period, although if possible one would certainly believe so of this particular boot. Built tough and built to last.

Very nice, and they look to be in real good condition as well. I also like how they have the full bellows tongue.

Another great source for Zug!! Very nice.

Thank you sir, and yes I believe it is.

Here's my latest pair I just received yesterday.

The knowledge I have with regards to Lotus is very minimal, but it's not the first I've seen of them. In fact they were the inspiration for the Galways in Zug that I own. It was a fairly special run as EG no longer or at least for now produce anything using Zug. Thanks and I look forward to...

Lotus veldts. in zug grain leather. Nice, not nearly as old I imagine but also made from Zug is a pair of Galways.

Being that they are made from a fairly thick waxy water resistant leather (Heather Gorse) using the Veldtschoen weldt on a Ridgeway Sole which happens to be on the more bulbous EG 64 Last then I think some might disagree such as myself. Besides at the core these particular boots happen to be...

I certainly wouldn't call them dress boots.
