i kind of agree i think the mark mcnairy shoes are really bad. do any of you own a pair? the leather quality is horrible. its flimsy and cheap. what makes it the worst for me is i think the shoes look great, so i want to buy them. sadly though, i was let down a few months into my investment.

Thanks for the report. I'd be curious to see pictures of how the leather looks on your worn pair if you happen to have any.

Why didn't EG bring their Tricker's collaboration to Europe or the US? I recently picked up a great pair of Tricker's when they had their sale between Christmas and NYE and couldn't be happier with the quality. Tricker's seems to much better fitting to EG than overhyped McNairy.

no idea, i think trickers are a fantastic shoe too. great leather, good quality, a bit of heft and heaviness to them too. mark mcnairy's are so light i feel like they are ninja shoes.
