I love the fit of E82, best fitting last for me.

Unfortunately I was told by EG that they only offer them as MTO and hence £200 pounds more expensive than the RTW price- even though there is nothing different about them finishing wise. It seems they see it as too flashy to offer as a RTW. I think they are very wrong, but to no avail it seems

Thanks guys. I'm still not sure though, reason being this - I had a pair of really old EGs that were marked 7F on the 202 last that I bought off eBay. These turned out to be too big all around. I could put a finger (maybe even two, can't remember anymore) behind my heel with the shoe on.

Maybe it's just the wide fitting (F)? It still seemed too big lengthwise. This is why I was thinking a 6.5/7 would fit me just right. Or could it be that the leather of the 7F pair just stretch out over the many years?

There's this pair on B&S right now that I think is an excellent deal, but if it doesn't fit...

I think I know what you're referring to. Nice shoes but it's a big drop from an F to a D... Also, depending on the last, the length can vary. I think there is around a 0.2" difference from E202 to E82.

Good luck if you pull the trigger

G, they are pretty awesome; however, I didn't know that it was supposed to rain earlier today so they had a nice little shower. No harm, no foul.

Is the E202 longer or shorter? Had a pair of blucher D82 that were a bit too narrow (as they should have been) and a tiny bit too long. Got the Berkeley in 202E and last is pretty much perfect for me. E82 would be the same? If it's .2 shorter it'll be an amazing fit.

edit: how can I make a post and show no pics:

Sky Valet in Washington is having a sale on EG. Price with free shipping is $875 for most; $1000 for the Brummells with lasted trees. They have Dovers on the 606, but the Brummells on the 82 are the pick of the lot.

Have at it, gentlemen!

Oh, and although they're not up on the site yet they've started stocking a few models of Carmina as well.

Cheers,

LM
