I was back and forth between 64 and 202. I dress on the more casual side and like a bit more generous last. Ultimately I went 202 based off the advice of my "SF spiritual advisors" as well as not really needing Veldt construction and wanting a storm welt.

Ok. I personally also prefer the 202 to the 64, so I am all with you there. And how come you choose the 202 for the second boot, and not the 82 as on the first? Was it because you wanted something less sleek and dressy than the 82?

Below are the Galway boots I have on four different last's which may be helpful From the left to right and from top to bottom. 1, on the 64E last , true to size and the most comfortable with normal socks 2, on the 202 E last, true to size and comfortable. 3, on the 82E last , looks the best but not the most comfortable boots! I had to go for a half size up. 4, on the 64F last , comfortable but with thick winter socks, I wear them with Falke 2 socks. 5, I am looking to add another pair soon! LOL hope this helps in making your decision on which last to go for.

Great looking collection. Thanks for posting

I would have thought that the dark oak boot was 82 and not 202

Had same thought. Great collection.


I think it might be though because if you go by top to bottom than it follows the number system to be on 82. I think the top pic should be right to left abd not left to right

Same here, are you sure Dark Oak Boot is 202 last? It is too pointy.

edit: I think you are right @rydenfan

This makes a lot more sense.

I had previously requested pricing prior to the rule changes so it was slightly different process for me.

Galway #1
Skoaktiebolaget stocked model of DOAK and Walnut CC
Only change is I went F width as I was slightly concerned about the narrowness of the 82

Galway #2 (MTO)
202 Last
Edwardian and Almond CC
Storm Welt with Natural Edge Trim
Double Leather Sole

They are Yin & Yang Galways

Dark and light, yet complimentary

The second one sounds very interesting, I can't wait to see your pictures once you get it.

Are those Bordon in Cloud Antique on 202 last? There was one pair left on sale in Jermyn store in my size, but I never saw my self wearing the gray shoes. Though, they look lovely.

So amazing that all 4 of these are the same model. Each one has its own look and purpose. Maybe 2 Galways isn't enough...
