Rendenback and Bakers do make pre made sole and heel leather.
It look like the leather merchant take role many bespoke maker used to do,
it cut heel and sole and sometime welt from hide instead of shoe maker.
It more convenient than have big hide deliver for shoe
maker.


it's a shame, though.

Claes, try the Micro for your next MTO, they have a better grip on snow IMO. I also feel Ridgeway is taking it a bit too far on a pair of G&G.
"Oxford" is THE plain cap toe Oxford in IMO. Just love it to death. Don't own a pair though, had to settle for a pair of Holden. :)



Yes I am actually thinking of a mole suede version of the oxford w/ micro for next autumn, would be awesome! My brother have a canterbury in the pipeline w/ micro as well so I will check them out when they come

Spring loaded trees are easier to fit in other types of shoes, but 3 piece boot trees will not fit easily.


Good to know. Still would love to give it a try, maybe I better get a pair of Canterburys or Wigmores sometime.

No I double checked and at the time of the order they were only £95


Boot trees are for G&G bespoke clients only. I don't know if Nick might have purchased from G&G before this policy was set though. Or he has his own boot tree supplier. :)
