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

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.

That’s true, good point 😊

Thoughts on the Dover on 82 vs 888 vs 606?

I understand the classic Dover makeup is the 606 soft square, but I wear a narrow size and tend to fit better, size and aesthetically, with slimmer lasts.

I see many Dovers in the 82, the long round toe, but not so many in the 888, even though 888 and 606 are soft square.

Anyone have feelings on the 82 vs 888 for a Dover?

Go for the 606, you won't regret it. Are you getting a pair in DOAK?

I was in a similar quandary when I was getting mine and I am so glad I went with the advice I got in the thread. DOAK Dover on 606 is a classic and you can't go wrong. Its proportions are perfect.

I have a very narrow foot (I wear 6.5D in 202, 6E in 888, 6E in 82, 6.5E in 184) and the Dover fits great in 6E. In my experience, the last is longer than 202 so it can accommodate narrower feet quite well if you go half a size smaller.

As always, best to try it on first before ordering.

Thanks! Doak indeed. I'm waiting until I can try on a pair, I think I'll be 9.5D in 606 or 82. Appreciate the advice.

I stand corrected. These are not RLPL Barksdale as these do not have the pattern on the sides of the heel.

But the insole reads Ralph Lauren.

Can't see the Dover works in either lasts, both are too pointy and for me the distinctive factor of the Dover compared to other StDs is to be relatively shorter and more masculine. A slimmer elongated Dover would look like more GG or Meccariello than EG. Go with 606 D.

Apologies in advance for a really basic question but I can't find anything on EG's recraft/resole process. Any chance someone can provide a link or point me in the right direction?

Call up to Jermyn St store who’ll be able to say how to ship the shoes. It’s £275 last I did it. Turnaround is 8-10 weeks.

Thanks @te0o. If I can get a little greedy with a follow up. Price doesn’t seem unreasonable and I know you’ve used them before. Any chance you can share your impressions on value? I’m sure I can get a good resole done for less but I really like the EG rubber sole and if their service includes more than just a resole then that’s likely the route I’ll take.

I am typing this from my phone so I hope the link for my old post works.

Essentially, I did it for my leather sole Belgravias. More details in the link. I think it’s almost non-brainer, they do a really good job. You get a resole which is better than anything you can get on the high street, they clean up and condition your uppers, they change the welt and also the sock liner.

If you were doing leather soles + metal toe tips it’s even more compelling as the toe tils are installed very cleanly albeit for a premium price.

Drawback is the shipping and the waiting time but of you have a large enough rotation then it’s less relevant.

Link works fine and this is perfect. Wait time is a non-issue (I’ve got a pair

Is everyone else's DOAK different? Goodness that's when you know the statement of "every pair will differ. No one is exactly the same" is valid.

For those with EG trees, is the size indicated anywhere on them? I have some that fit more snug than others but are supposedly the same size. I can't find any markings anywhere to verify.

Nice when the Green Box lands. Though I have hunting for a mink suede loafer for while, I was a little hesitant on these. The image on the GF site makes them appear lighter than I desired and I also worried that there may be overlap with my grain Piccadilly’s. Now that I have them in hand, they’re keepers. Family shot includes my family of EG shoes and a side-by-side with the Piccadilly’s………
