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

Dainite on brown oxfords is a curious combo

I'm not really concerned with breaking the norm as they're more for nightlife and have black edges anyway. Just wondered what my options are as I do want a more grippy surface. The controversial top sole?

Maybe try their R1 sole?

I'm planning to order a pair of Oundles on the 202 last and am debating between burgundy and nightshade. I already own the Dovers in dark oak and want something a bit darker but still versatile. What do you all suggest? Is nightshade EG's version of Color #8 by Alden; a dark purplish eggplant color? Any daytime shots of the nightshade would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nightshade is dark purplish. I highly recommend it, over burgundy (sorry don’t have the shoe on me now).

Get the R1 slim rubber sole. It comes as a standard option on some Chelsea models and fit the style better than dainite.

My bad for presuming that they used dainite, I feel silly for asking now! R1 it is, thank you all.

They will use Dainite, although it is more of a country grain kind of thing. That, plus I hate it. Feels like nails in my feet when new, and wears down in no time, making them utterly useless.
IMO, if you really want traction and none of the bad parts, get Ridgeway. Otherwise, for rubber, the R1 is good, as mentioned.

View attachment 1023719 Hello all,

I’m not too far away from my first resole on a pair of Chelsea’s and wondered whether a dainite sole is a valid option due to the curvature of the sole from side to side. I’m sure if that’s a general EG style or model specific as this is my on pair of EG’s. Look forward to hearing your opinions, Jack.

What makes you think that these need a resole, they appear to me as if they are barely half way worn though and could be worn may times before actually needing a resole. Does the worn area of the soles feel soft and give in if you press down on them with both thumbs?

Honestly, it’s a lack of experience on my part as I’ve not yet worn a pair long enough to require a re-sole. That and a fear of damaging a fantastic pair of shoes. They are soft to press around the middle but since posting I have shown them to my cobbler who casually told me to keep wearing them.

Can anybody comment on the instep of the 915 vs. 888? I feel the 888 (only last I own from EG on the Asquith) is slightly low, hence I need to size up from my Gaziano size (+0.5), but it fits still very well. I've picked up from previous posts that Chelsea 915 (which I would like) might fit a little large and wondering whether I should size differently?

I do know that I should try on or order 2, but sitting in Zurich, I'm just debating at the moment.

On that note, some comparison shots between my UK7 AC Nakagawa in steel antique and the UK7.5 EG 888 Asquith in Cloud Antique (which I only got due to this particular pair being a lot darker, less boney antiqued grey color than I often see).
