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

[CLTesquire]

Does anyone have anything in Damson Delapre/Utah? I'm curious about the color. Is it darker than Burgundy Delapre/Utah?

Looks darker based on the swatches

I would be interested in option 2 or option 4

Re our GMTO, here's what we've discussed, generally:

Option 1:
- DOAK upper with mink suede shaft;
- 72 last;
- Ridgeway sole (I'm telling ya'll, the R2 sole is more comfortable, but I'm happy to cave).

Option 2:
- Camel suede;
- 72 last;
- R2 sole.

Option 3:
- All DOAK;
- 72 last;
- Ridgeway sole.

BONUS ROUND:
- All chestnut antique calf;
- 72 last;
- R2 sole.

Thoughts?

Interested in 1 or 2 and while I love ridgeway, would lean towards R2 given the choice.

Not that I have any skin in the game since I hope not to participate ? but once you are going for a more a rustic galway how about some kind of kudu or bison? no idea if available... just a thought. would certainly be different.

ETA: kangaroo and camel are both also very cool and a bit more subtle. recently got pairs in both leathers from GS and Viberg... recommended. Again, no idea if available.

A kudu Galway would be baller but have never seen something like this from them. It seems the craziest they get is Zug leather or cordovan.

Dang that is quite a collection. Was the Russian Calf a one time run by EG? I would love one of those…just didn’t pull the trigger.

The 72 really needs veldt (or at least a stormwelt) and Ridgeway in my opinion.

Close up in same order
Last pic is veldt on ridgway
Also a pair of top drawers Shannon's on 202

Can't find these online. Which store sells this waxed model?

Waxed model I got locally but it's also on EG site
@CLTesquire
The Russian calf I believe was a run by Stefan?
I remember him saying EG complained that it was difficult to work with so not sure they will do more

What’s most shocking to me is how Rosewood compares to Mahogany in your pics. I always thought the former would be lighter but doesn’t appear that way. I have those same Mahogany CC Galways. Assume you got them from Steve?

 

[coldinboston]

I have bought a lot of shoes from Steve but I think this specific pair was actually from a local store during a trunk show year before Steve had them in his store.

Not gonna lie, I really like the mahogany country calf. Maybe that should be in the list.

You can get them here:

Edward Green Galway in Mahogany Country Calf (Veldtschoen Construction)

This iconic boot has been made since at least the 1930s when Edward Green was the leading maker of officers' boots for the British military. It remains a stalwart, equally at home on the grouse moors of Scotland or on city streets when the nights draw in. 72 Last / Standard E Width / Ridgeway...

If they are out of your size @steveyoo1983 probably can order it as a stock item.

There ya go! Not even a need to GMTO them. Yours look much livelier and richer than the pics on the site.
