My own

Is it me or did EG raise the prices just recently?
I was eyeing up the Cranleighs. I could have sworn it wasn’t £1525 as it is today
Think it was around £1.4ishk last time I checked

Oh well

Yep, seems so.

I bought a pair of Galways at £1265 last week and now they are £1300.

Belgravia up to £1115 from £1050.

The Cranleigh has jumped a lot though - £1365 to £1525.

I hope quality control and finishing are also tightened up to reflect the new price point.

That’s right, noticed as well - Uk prices are up £50-100 in a few models. The Chelsea’s are up to £1050 or so from the £995 mark. Makes me feel better about grabbing my shoe in the sale.

Dover went from £1265 to £1300 as well.

This is rubbing me the wrong way somewhat given the QC issues I’ve personally experienced with EG lately.

I know it’s driven by raw materials, energy and wage inflation but equally this is now a very high-end price tag and they need to make sure the shoes that come out of the factory are all up to standard.

I think we all know full well all brands increase their price and decrease their quality over time once they're established
Even for gaziano girling I think it's the same, just that they increased their price like rocket in return 'just' decreased the quality of the leather but finishing/qc remains very good

In general I’d agree with you, for the vast majority of products. However, I’ve got EGs from the 90s all the way to 2022 and I’d say they are better made now than they used to be, certainly in leather quality.

I haven’t seen recent QC issues, and if there have been some then that is disappointing, but their rejects are usually better than other’s perfects.

The price rises are significant though, albeit understood and I don’t think I’ll ever justify another pair at retail or sale prices, and possibly even at factory shop prices, if they follow the same percentage increase.

My lack of justification is also driven by having, erm, plenty of pairs, so most definitely a first world problem, so don’t feel bad for me!

Good feelings! I paid under 700 USD for my latest pair of Doak Belgravias in January this year.

 

[jischwar]

Good feelings! I paid under 700 USD for my latest pair of Doak Piccadillys in January this year.

Very nice score

 

[kalufsen]

Very nice score

Good deal indeed and with recent increases - an even better one!

Correction, should of course read Belgravia and not Piccadillys!

The hunt is a thrill. Finding a great EG pair on sale or barely used at a great discount is a forever win. Never pay retail (some say). I'd love to see lasted shoe trees included in every new pair, but I know that's a remote possibility and a dream (I know you read these posts EG! Do it!).

Inflation in the Uk is 10.1%so the price increases are not surprising to be fair

It has probably been asked a hundred times but why do Ed Green shoes state 2 sizes (10/10 1/2)? Is it the UK versus US size? I'm selling a pair of EG's and a potential buyer asked and I didn't know the answer.

yes, UK/US size indeed
