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

[WilYa]

@WilYa Oh, I'm afraid you are waiting mostly for nothing this time. That is, if you are after the popular styles in the common sizes like UK 9 or 9.5..

I'm in a weekly contact with their Factory Shop, and hardly anything decent gets through lately.. I've lost the hope for those pop up sales .. They could be a good source for the cheap belts and shoe trees though ..

Sausages on eBay is also replenishing the good stock on a weekly bases, sometime I use him as a source and pay for his interest, so by following his page you can get the idea of what's there ..

Now I'm focused on buying shoes that I like with a modest discount of 10-20% at European stores .. Buying something you didn't want in the first place just because it's a 50% off the MSRP is never a good thing, at least for me.

Cheers! Nice inputs. In fact I'm looking for much smaller sizes. Let's what comes up then.

Sharp combo.

I've decided to dip my toes in the EG pool after starting with John Lobb, then recently G&G.

I can finally understand the EG appeal

It's a dangerous journey! I started with a pair of Edward green loafers on sale for 400 2 years ago. Never would've imagined 2 years later all my rotation shoes are Edward green, gaziano & girling, John lobb, or cleverley higher end. Very dangerous journey. Trying to budget and cut back now. But damn. It's hard. I say that as I picked up those same shoes last weekend at bergdorfs - dark brown Galway Utah grain for 588. How could I pass that up?

I just picked up a pair of Ecton's in Espresso Suede on the 888. First grade and they are a 10,5E (a little too big).
Difficult for me to return as I picked them up in London.
Will sell at cost (significantly reduced from retail). Please PM if interested.

I guess I need to start checking out Bergdorf after all the mentions I've seen in this thread indicating ridiculous EG sale prices (though I'm sure a very small selection of sizes available). I hope you don't wear a US11 otherwise I might kick myself for not at least checking them out!

Went by Bergdorf's today on 5th Ave. They had two pairs of EG's out that I saw.

Galway - UK11 (or 11.5), cant quite remember. Brown (Utah??) leather - $750 + additional 20% off, I believe
Duke Loafer - UK8 - Burgundy Cordovan Leather - $850 + additional 20%.

Ran in and out quickly so these prices might be slightly off. Unfortunately neither were my size, but hope someone on here can grab them!

A bit late (sorry for that), but do you happen to remember what last the Galways were on? Thanks!

Not sure about all the boots, by the ones I saw were on 915

Dare I ask what size those Galways you picked up were? Also what last? That's definitely one of the better deals I've heard in a long time.

Montpellier for sure....picked up mine for less than a pair of socks. Found them in a thrift store. Fresh back from recraft.

11; I think they're 82 last.

Ugh--dagger to the heart. My size! Great pickup! Congrats!

Hey guys!

Thinking about picking up a Galway boot. I intend to wear it more causually; jeans up to the odd trouser, but mostly jeans and chinos. Having trouble choosing between the following three colors:

Spoiler

Navy Utah

Dark Brown Delapre

Chestnut Utah (although on the 72 last, and not the 82 pictured above).

Of the three, I am currently leaning toward Chestnut Utah the most because of that beautiful color which shows off the burnishing and ability to show patina, as well as the less aggressive shape on the 72 last. Any advice would be helpful!

Nice recraft! How much are recrafts running these days?
