Lovely shoes. I saw that Will of ASW did a shoe like this but on the GG06 round last, (and of course there was the Foster shoe that inspired Will's.) Why did you go for EG as opposed to GG? J

Several of my MTOs have been influenced by your bespoke creations

I do recall Will's 'City Shoe', but this was back in the days before G&G reduced the length of their toe caps. Had it been based on the same proportions as the Warwick, I have no doubt that I would have been tempted.

I like both makers equally and I guess I just decided to place this one with Green. I have no doubt that I would have been equally satisfied with a modified Warwick.

I've often wondered why Grenson didn't trim the sole waists closer with the MP line.
