Whhhhhat? A stock shannon details please.



Didn't see this before I posted mine, but glad I could add a plug for my friends at Unipair. Great guys--selling great shoes. Very responsive!



What colours are you expecting in the Shannon?



And will the Shannon have "blind" eyelets, or visible metal eyelets?


We will get two Shannon boots,
black calf with lavagne(grey) suede shaft
dark oak with mole suede shaft
Both on the 82 last, sorry our stock manager is off today but I will find out about the eyelets.
Burton, you are very patient gentleman and thank you for the kind words!

What last and color on Alderley please?


The Alderley (which I might be buying myself) will be mahogany country calf on the 202 last.

Free shipping worldwide on both models!

Now that has my attention. Now I just have to figure out if I can make the 82 last work. 888 on my Galway in UK9 fits me so perfectly it's ridiculous.

Hey guys,

Just an fyi, I have a pair of NIB Westminsters in 7.5UK incoming that was proxied from the EG sample sale earlier in the year. If they don't fit, I'll offer it up here at cost + shipping.

Cost was 295 GBP.

I have tried a couple 82 last shoes in standard width from a local vendor and they were too narrow for me. They may well be close, but I need every bit of the extra room of the 888 in a standard width. I suspect I would have to go up a width in my size (UK9) in the 82 or else try for a half size up.

Sold the pair months ago to a member here think he sold them as well. Color was hazelnut just found photo on my laptop and remembered just how beautiful the shoe was


I believe that is the pair that I ended up with. Beautiful boots that I just wore a few days ago for the first time in months. Hazel color on the 202 last.
