The heels on my G&G's are squeaky as ****. Anybody else with this problem?

for me there are perhaps 12 shoes i like whihc are G&G, but what does it for me is G&G are perhaps the only English maker willing to push the craft forward
moreover, when you see shoes like these IRL you cant just help but go wow
i am sure there are other makers shoes which will have the same effect, but Delos dont travel
also dont forget Tony worked for Cleverleys for 6-7 years and then how ever long he ran the EG bespoke operation and Dean worked for John Lobb, yes as a company they have only been together since 2006, but it does not take their recent history as all they have done

As much as I like G&G, I suspect that's a bit overstated.
Stylistically, perhaps. And there's not many makers that finish their shoes to the high degree that G&G do; not many that can pull it all together with such finesse and grace. Impeccable craftsmanship.
That said, GY welting always pushes the "craft" / Trade / shoe backward.
ok lets see if i have pictures for all of the 12 let call the the dirty dozen BTW they are more the design than the colorWhich 12 pairs you like?
perhaps it was a slight overstated, and i am always willing to be corrected - we shall see come Sept 16th
but how else other than GY welting apart from glue, staples or nano robots can you improve on??
or should i say in your opinion apart from the above, how can any maker keep pushing and improving?
We need to separate bespoke from benchmade, when DWF mentions he is not enamored with GY welting it needs to be highlighted that here we are talking about bespoke shoes. G&G only GY welt the RTW shoes, they can't handwelt those at the same price point.

Is this thread only about bespoke G7G? I didn't know that. I beg your pardon.
Handwelted G&G are almost without peer in my estimation...maybe Delos.

I've continued to be under the impression that this thread is about all G&G, bespoke or otherwise.

DWF, I will merely saying Luk Cha's comments were bespoke related. Sorry i was not clear. I at least believe they were bespoke related when we was referring to their new seamless wholecut sample
