I would think an open invitation on the GG thread should provide more ardent supporters to make the comparison more compelling.
It should go without saying that the folks providing opinions should own from both companies.

These look like RLPL Barksdale which were made by Edward Green. But the soles on these don’t look like original or have otherwise been heavily used.
These are different and better than the regular RLPL Barksdale pattern, which had a skin-stitched split toe, but lacked the pig bristle pie crust stitch around the vamp and toe. This pair resembles EG’s Sloane, probably on a 100 or 101 last.

While the Blake resole job on this pair is a travesty. I would not hesitate to purchase and send to the EG factory for refurb/resole. The result will be excellent second hand shoes for a low price compared to new. Cheers.

EG don’t touch shoes resoled anywhere but the original EG factory. Sad.

In my experience, that is not accurate.

I would definitely call EG to confirm what they are and are not willing to do.

Nevertheless, there are third party shoe repair shops that can do the job as well.

Same here. It is the “policy” maybe, to deter outside work and to guard against having to deal with poorly done resoles. But in my experience they’ll consider it if you contact them

I have two pairs of these from EG directly. They are called “ Winchelsea” and are the 100 last
The Winchelsea is slightly different, as it has stitching (sometimes called foxing) along either sides of the heel. Those are another excellent variation on the skin stitched loafer theme, which also includes the Buxton and Harrow, etc. They even do butterfly versions with the pie crust and strapless loafers too.
