guys,

I have received a replay from Skoaktiebolaget.

Yes it is possible to order different widths, D, E, G

The total price including worldwide shipping would be 7180 SEK ex VAT so it comes around $1100

Are you still interested in this we would be going for Adderley on 202 last in Rosewood Country Calf on Dainite soles with storm welt?

Anybody else interested?


Since the widths can be done, I'm interested in this mto

Regarding the Epsom, would you consider it dressy enough for interviews / other standard black captoe work? Asking as I should be getting the Tassels one tomorrow and also have the G&G Oxford from Spoo's recent sale.

Haven't worn a black captoe in over a year and only bought these as I may be interviewed more conservative jobs in a few months and wanted to be ready (only other real interview shoe would be museum calf which I feel is too much) . I feel I could get a bit more wear out of the Epsom and I prefer boots in general. Thoughts?

Those are a great looking boot, enjoy them.

If anyone is contemplating the Galway in Oak/Mink
700


Excellent boots sir but just be careful, Once I wore a pair o JL and Berluti shoes for a few days in France when it snowed and now I have some marks on the leather that will never go! this could be due to the snow or the salt they use, hence I do not even try and use any of my EG's in the snow, I just cannot afford to take that risk! Enjoy your boots sir and I hope you never have to experience such a problem.

Thanks for the advice. This is pure, untouched snow. I was very mindful of salt.

Farhad,

have you tried using Saphir Hiver-Winter Salt and Snow Stain Remover or Saphir Reno'mat. I had a good experience removing stains with Reno'mat.

Thank you for the advice, the Lobbs I don't have anymore but I will certainly try it on my Berluti.

For snow boots I use SnoSeal. I've used Hiver but from my experience white vinegar & water works just as well. Condition afterwards.

I agree that I save the salt for my Tricker's and AS. :D

Do you use SnoSeal on your EGs? Do you find that it darkens the leather?
Not with my EGs. Thin layers of SnoSeal didn't change the color too much. However, since I moved to MI, I went turbo on the SnoSeal and it darkened my acorn stows a little (not as dark as their "C" shade though). They look like they're lightening back up as the wax wears off.
