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

[Satmoche]

Has anyone used their custom made service?
I am after a pair of Adelaide in burgundy/plum, calf skin, with a city sole. Alas, there is not such model on that very colour on their website. I was wondering how much that project would cost me and how long it would take.

What sole is better better in comfort and in grip on wet floors and in winter conditions on icy roads? I am looking for something sleek and functional for MTO boots.
I am thinking about R2 sole or Ridgeway sole. Which one is more suitable?

Anyone’s insoles come looking like this? These are EG Chelsea Oxfords. Brand new firsts. Both shoes look like this.

My Allen Edmonds and Grant Stones aren’t even anywhere near this

I had similar problems on my Chelseas too + manufacturers didn't pull the paperclip out of the insole

I can only speak to Ridgeway but I like them a lot for that use case - Commando are good on snow but don't have as much grip on ice/wet slush.

We don't have a lot snow in our location. Weather is variable and some days are warmer around 5 C with rain, and another days are cold with around -5 C and then water from previous days freeze and pavements are slippery.

If sleek is what you want for those kinda conditions. Then Ridgeway is the way to go.

Speaking of Ridgeway, I got to wear these beauties today. 303 is sooo good!

That 303 last seems perfect for more casual shoes and especially boots.

IMO both mentiones soles look sleek. Dealbreaker is grip and performance on wet hard floors and on icy sidewalks. You guys who have them can you comment how they work?

Yes, London Grain.

Look, I live in London which is plenty wet and rainy, although not as cold as your home. Ridgeway has been fine. Better than Dainite. I’m sure R2 will also be good (dislclaimer: I don’t own any R2). R2 is sleeker so depending on how dressy you want the boots to be, it might be better.

What’s the boot make-up you were thinking?

Did you try them also on hard tile floors? I have Dainite stubbed sole and outside I have no issue in wet conditions but when I enter into office or mall where is wet tile floor my boots slip as hell.

I am going to buy new before winter started in London Grain as well.

I pretty much only wear mine outside so don't have much direct experience, but the consensus here is they'll certainly be better than Dainite.

I want to give it a try some time, might replace 72 for me.

I own both and both are fine for inclimate conditions and both look good as well. R2 is definitely dressier and ridgeway is better on ice (though not by much). I truly think it comes down to personal aesthetics.
