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

[steveabdn]

It’s true that it’s not a good metric to use, on average there’s a miles worth of walking on pavement and a working day in the office. I drive to the office but typically wear other sneakers for the drive. I will post some pictures when I get a chance, struggling with illness right now

Yes I am thinking of going for the dark brown Utah Galway and not worry so much about resilience to life bumps and scratches. Your pair look great.

I have such a pair. I’ve definitely worn them in snow with no issues. I have yet to try hiking through Scotland though.

Edit: I might be super late on the reply

Well, my shoes have finally arrived (delay due to redirection as I was away for weekend). I am pleased with them, especially the toned antiquing coloration - I am not unsure what shade they are supposed to be (they are darker than my other pair in edwardian) - but I do like it ?

202? The angle makes them a lot sleeker lookig like 82 but I doubt it.

That’s right, it’s F202

I have the same color and it gets better and better over time. At the beginning I did not like it much but it gains more and more character with each wear. It's also getting darker and that's a hige plus for me.

Comparison with my regular worn pair on the left in Edwardian antique, E202.

Why did you buy another pair? The fit was not as good, hence the F202? Or because you love them so much you don't want to ever run out of them?

In terms of the color, I'm surprised, I would think the one on the left was the new one. Mine started out as the one on the left and over time it moves toward the one on the right.

the E was very tight and a bit uncomfortable when new and I thought I should have got the slightly wider fit. But it turns out with wear the E has stretched nicely and fits like a glove now ?

Right, I have the same experience. In fact, the EG salespeople, to my surprise, unlike what you hear from people on this forum, recommend that you go with the same size as C&G and JL, not half a size up. They told me it would stretch over time. I listened to them since I thought they should know better than random people on the internet. Then when I got them, I was so p**ed off having listened to them since the shoes were very tight. Then for my next pair I went half size up. Guess which one I like wearing now. The smaller size. Indeed, they fit just like glove.

There is nothing better than a pair of shoes that fits like glove. Most people don't know what that means, since they always go for a size that fits very comfortably out of the box, or slightly bigger than they actually need, in fear that if it ends up being too small there is no way of correcting it.

Ditto. I tried a 7.5 and a 7, and the sales guy advised the 7. As they were an MTO order, when they arrived I was a bit remorseful too at how tight they were, it took a lot of shoehorning to get my feet into them, and even painful to wear for extended periods. It took a few weeks to gradually break in, and now they are snug and comfy. I wonder if the 82 fit differs from the 202?

I was initially fitted at a trunk show when it came time to order my sa advised me to go a half size up despite what eg told me and I'm glad I did. From what I'm told the British tend to wear their shoes with a more snug fit idk could be complete bullsh#$ but it's what I was told.

correct, ultimately this is a personal preference kinda like drinking your coffee black or with cream. I know people wholiterally wear their shoes 2 sizes too big. By choice.

I, on the other hand, cannot stand one hair of extra room.
