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

I was thinking the same. My preference is for a lighter or no burnishing at all.

Here's how mine look for comparison

That is some strong burnishing 💪

Yeah, this is the strongest I've seen first hand along with this Silverstone I used to own. Personally I love EGs burnishing work. I actually ended up messing up my burgundy Galway by trying to add some burnishing myself. Lack of burnishing made the color look plain and flat in my eyes, but my hack job messed up the boot.

I agree, they do fantastic burnishing work

Yes, much more subtle, as I prefer.

Love that eggplant color. Is that nightshade?

That’s right, nightshade. I’m a big fan, too.

Hi everyone, I would appreciate any sizing thoughts on the suede Cranleigh boot on 202 last if anyone has the same.

I measure a 11.5D on brannock and wear an 11/11.5E in the EG Chelsea, which is perhaps ever so slightly large with thin dress socks but has broken in to be very comfortable.

My first time trying the cranleigh in same size (11/11.5E 202) on danite sole and similarly trying to figure out if too large.

With medium/thick boot socks, and my big toe ends right at the stitching on the apron and not behind it. Width seems good and given they are flexible boots can be laced up tight without slippage.

Just curious where the big toe should fall in these dover/cranleigh models for best fit. Thank you very much.

I think the burnishing compliments the edge, threads and laces. I like it.

Meant to link to posts above...

In my experience, for sizing attempts, don't prioritize so much about where your toe fits, but where the ball of your foot (the widest part of your foot) is. It should line up with the widest part of the shoe, right where the sole curves the most outward on the inside of your foot. If that's not in the correct place (either too far forward or too far backward) your foot isn't going to be comfortable in the shoe no matter what.

Then make sure that the last provides enough room for your toes, so that they aren't touching the front or top of the shoe (either of which will become very uncomfortable over time). This also means that, despite how much you might want a shoe to fit, there might just not be a correct size in certain lasts for you (for instance, there is no 82 last that fits my foot properly at all, nor the 64 last, both because of the toe box shape, but the 72 and 303 fit me wonderfully).

So with that said, where does the ball of your foot actually end up?

Thanks this is helpful - I’ve never thought about sizing like that before. It does line up well (as do my Chelsea’s). Thx

For your sixth pair of Dover, would you guys get Nightshade calf or Rosewood Antique Country calf? Both 606 last.

What do you own currently?

 

[dukenukem4ever]

What do you own currently?

Dark oak, brown London grain, black Utah, brown country calf, brick red suede (forgot the name? Clove?), brown mink suede.

I’d Rosewood Antique CC as they lean more casual and can be more wardrobe versatile. Why not go for a Zlin instead of another Dover (unless you’re keen on the 606 last)?
