Inverness in burgundy which I might be selling soon if you are interested in lightly used shoes.

I'm not in the market for some more EG until after Christmas, I have the Galway in oak which I love but I would like to add probably 5 more styles in the new year

I'm definitely after a mid brown suede chukka style boot and a monk in Bordeaux or oxblood leaving 3 more up for grabs, definitely could do with same black oxfords and some brown cap toes leaving 1 more space

What in your view would I be missing?


I just noticed that you are in Scotland then you must buy Falkirk that's must have shoe.

A derby in country calf or cordovan. Check out the Sandringham or Ullswater.

What is Oak Bark?


The bark of the oak tree has been used as a tanning agent for tanning the sole leathers (which can take up to a year). Vegetable tanning makes the best leathers for the bottom work (insole, outsole, stiffeners).

Very close to what I have in mind. Dark Oak Antique body with (Dark Oak or Edwardian) Facing & Mink Suede Shaft. HAF sole 82 With Andrew Type perforation
Don't mean to detour the dark oak group but I'd be interested if it were made in Edwardian for sure :slayer: G: Never had any luck finding pairs in my size. Anyway, I recently moved to MI so I don't have the joys of going to Barney's/Bergdorf/Saks/Leffot/Alden for my shoes... sad :cry: There is a Red Wing Shoe Shop within a 5 mile drive from me though! I'm bringing up MI style! I think the last time Shannons walked around MI was when NAMOR came for a visit.

I am going to get a pair of Galway in Edwardian. But Shannon in Edwardian is nice too

What about shaft mod, suede?

I don't know if we have enough interest for 6 identical Shannon...

ap10046, those are nice too but I want to stick with 82.

I know i'm being a bit difficult..only because my Galways on the 82 have a grained shaft and thus wanted the above.
