    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

     That toe seam is embarrassing. Return them on that basis. As for the heels, EG will tell you (1) it is not cracking (but rather appears like that due to the burnishing), (2) it will be remedied by a leather conditioner, and (3) it is not a defect. I'm not saying I agree with them, just...

    I typically wear the same size for lasts 7000 and 8000; however, I find the 7000 a bit roomier. The 7000 = :worship:

     That's a nice boot. Even at $835, I would bet they will sell out.

    Damn. My last MTO was not only a few months late, but the right shoe and left shoe came as two different sizes. :brick:

    Agreed. Plaza is number 1 for Alden boots in my book. :fonz:

     Thanks for the side by side pic. I find the toe shape of the 72 much more desirable.

    :nodding: In my experience, JL's quality control is top notch - if not in a class by itself, then pretty close..... I own the Chapel and City II and there were zero blemishes.

    I only buy museum calf shoes if I have the option of return. Some museum calf shoes, IMO, are entirely too marbled, looking messy, even cheap. But museum calf done in a more subtle way is splendid. So far I have had good luck and have never had to return any - and I have museum calf in 4...

     Oyster is nice. EG has many really nice suede colors IMO. Another seldom discussed or pictured EG suede is mole. I have this shoe and find it very versatile: http://leathersoul.com/2010/12/27/edward-green-westminster-in-mole-suede-lsw/ Although mine are on the 202 not 888.

    About 6 months ago I inquired of using the KN14 on a non loafer MTO. While they recommended another last instead, they did say they would do it if I wanted it. The KN14 is one of the best loafer lasts on the market IMO. And the fit, for me, is great. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a...
