I have owned Edward Green since the 1960's, John Lobb bespoke, JL of Paris, Vass, St Crispins and I can honestly say, all my JM Westons were the best manufactured bench grade shoes of the lot. Although Lobb were the most comfortable, Weston were not far off. Jm Weston are not always the most stylish, but they are always the best made non-bespoke shoes and they all outlasted everything else and almost lasted as long as my bespokes. Having said that though, I still find my Model 423 is the classiest burgundy shoe I have ever owned -in fact I am ordering another pair MTO from JM Weston of London. Truly wonderful and very under rated shoes. How did I miss these JMs for sale here? Are they the model # 300? Very elegant and beautiful shoe. My favourite black JM is the 666 - The Devil's shoe - BEAUTIFUL!!! - I believe it was designed originally for Bill Clinton - you go figure! great shoes OP, I hope you won't regret the sale.
