Agreed

Quick iPhone pic of my first Galway! Hopefully they fit me. I like the color on these.

Great choice, great looking version.

 

[dddrees]

Great choice, very classic. Reminds me I have to pick up my first Galway from the store.

Yes, I know, it's chocking, no Galway up 'til now...the cobbler's kids and all that.

Can't wait to see those pictures @Leaves .


Congrats, and what version did you go with?

Thank you everybody! I should have purchased them long time ago. Its weird somehow I never could bring myself to spend close to 1K on calf shoes/boots but I happily spent close to that amount on shell cordovan boots. Maybe because of the scarce availability of the shell, you feel like you just won lottery ticket when you are able to purchase shell shoes/boots. I am glad that DOAK shade came out the way I wanted.

@dalevy I purchased them from upper shoes website.

Thanks Leaves! It is really very shocking indeed. I am currently waiting for the St. James II delivery that I ordered from you (shipped today), its long painful wait. I should have upgraded to faster shipping.

@NAMOR might kill me for saying this, but there really are other reasons besides shell that are great reasons to spend more than 1k on a pair of shoes or boots. Edward Green Galway's are a fabulous way to start discovering those reasons.

The design
The quality of the leather
The various options
The finishing
The level of detail

@laufer - is it true you are considering a pingrain Nevis? That would be epic.

Not bad for a G width shoe. I'm very pleased, and look forward to more EGs in my future...

Congrats!!

Great choice, I've often considered getting that exact shoe and color.

I already have a John Lobb Williams II in black, but I think the EG Westminster is quite a bit dressier.

The Westminster is definitely dressier.

Well kind of it looks like that mahogany Nevis I have incoming is pretty close to the heather gorse Galways I have. If that is the case I may sell it and go with brandy pin grain Nevis.

The Mahogany CC Dover is certainly very close in color to the Heather Gorse Galway, however for me the Dover itself is different enough that I don't mind.

So sad that Mahogany CC, Rosewood CC, and Heather Gorse are so similar. What was EG thinking? So hard to be a collector these days.

Do it, it's only logical. Does this mean you are fully turned off the idea of the Rosewood Alderley since it's similar as well?
