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

[dench127]

I visited Drake's on Saville Row today to have a look at the Dover in the 505 last. Pretty meh in my opinion, certainly not my cup of tea.

Very rounded, deep toe-box that I think loses a bit of versatility, unlike 202 for example. Got more pics if anyone's interested.

I think it's quite good. It matches the casualness of the material. Shape is easier to wear with denim than the 606. I see the 202 as a pretty elegant last as well.

I agree, think about Drake's with their Crosby boot. It definitely fits perfectly with their aesthetic but I feel the same as @te0o it's not really my cup of tea

Definitely not a very modern last. Goes to show that even classic menswear changes.

That’s an ugly ass looking last.

I agree with the others that definitely is not the best look for the dover. I do however think something like a big and chunky LWB would probably look great on that last!

I'd enjoy that last. Considered it before. It's shorter and more casual, and definitely has its uses.

Yeah, not a huge fan of this last, or the grain, for the Dover. I think the Dover is more elegant in other lasts and I think grain doesn't suit the shoe, given its elegance.

Dover is one of those models that work great in both grains and smooth leathers. For me, it will always be a business casual kind of shoe, that you may dress up or down, and make up in leathers depending on the climate you're in.
I wear dark oak when it's dry, or grains/suedes when it's rainy (or I just want the more casual look).
Seen 7 year old Dovers in rosewood cc, being worn through 7 Norwegian winters of slush and snow, looking pristine to this day. That's the beauty of a good grain to me.

Man, if my Alden C8 chukkas looked anything like these they would not be available for sale. These are just so good.

EG shell is

And let me guess, that Dainite studded sole is no worse for wear

I wish my Dainite lasted like that, I replaced the leather sole on my Galway's with Dainite and had them serviced by EG to be more in keeping with the requirements I had for the boots. I've worn them maybe 40 or 50 times since then and there's obvious wear to the soles

Really?!? Mind posting up some pics?

40 to 50 times could be a lot or very little. If you just walk from your car to carpet vs it you take public transport and walk a few miles a day.
