In all honesty there was really not much in the sale I saw today, this is the least amount of shoes I have seen ever at their sale, only a few models in a few sizes , not many boots they only ones they had were were there were in small sizes and a few in black and grey shades, I am a UK 8.5 and was intending to buy two pairs but these were the only shoes I really liked noting else caught my eye. I will pass by in a few weeks to see if they have added any further shoes in the sale. Prices, most shoes were about GBP 470 and the boots around 560/=

They have a lovely Shannon boot but only in a size 8 E Uk on the 82 last , I would have bought that had they had it in my size!

I thought this was one of the more interesting Edward Green boots that I've seen lately for a guy looking for a slightly more casual, less pointed or chiseled look with jeans, cords, etc... I took this photo of J Lawrence Khaki's of Carmel. The owner, Jim Ockert, loves EG's with burnished toes.

After reading through many threads on shoes, I decided that Edward green would be my first choice. I've been waiting for a flight to London for many months, but suddenly a Paris trip turned up and I found my way to the Paris Edward green store.
Firstly the custom per service was excellent. Alex was very patient with my obvious lack of knowledge, taste and style.
I went in to buy one pair of black Shannon's as a dress shoe and occasionally for work, hoping they would have what I wanted - but prepared to have to go the "made to measure" option.
Alex had a selection of Shannon's and Galways. After a good hour of procrastinating and Alex educating me, I settled on the black Galways, sued upper section with custom "Inverness" medallion, ridgeway sole.
To get a better idea of fit for me, he brought out a pair of full leather chestnut Shannon's... Let's just say I had to take them too! When I put these things on... My foot was like a piston perfectly slotting in. I can think of better euphemisms, but I'm sure you all know what I mean!
As it turns out, I will get a better price if they ship them directly to where I live, so I will get the Shannon's (with an added rubber pad on the sole) before the 09th of Jan and the Galways in a few months.
As these are my first purchases of this magnitude, I have played it safe in my choice (I think anyway), but some of the other colours did look nice. Perhaps in the future.
From another thread on suits, I decided on a Tom ford navy suit a few months ago and I look forward to putting everything together when the Galways do finally turn up.
Thanks to this thread and a few others here at style forum... My bank account is in intensive care at the moment!

Apologies, I believe the "chestnut Shannon's" are actually a burnt pine "Alderly". shog[1].gif still - to me, very nice.

Please advise the sizing of the Gallways on the 64 and 58 lasts.

I'm UK9,5 in both D202 and E888.

202 fits perfect and the 888 is  snug in the toebox even after few wears.

 

I asked Tassels' but their answer is not clear to me:

 

"The 58 last fits very spacious in terms of the volume and width.

The last is meant to be worn with thick wool socks so I would say they fit big compare to the 82 or 202 but not necessary to size down."

 

What do you think, should I stick to my normal UK9,5 or size down 1/2 size?

depends on what socks you intend to use. if you use big socks, go true to size. thin wools / cotton, size down half a size.

I went TTS on my Galways on the 64 (9.5 here, too). The last is roomy enough to accommodate thick socks but works just as well with thinner socks (which is what I think they were saying in the answer above).

With these boots you would wear a slightly thicker socks I wear the Falke TK2 socks so I would go with your normal size but it also depends if the last is an E or F fitting because my Galway boots are on the F last which are a bit wider I went for a size 8 normally with the 82 or 202 or 888 last I take an 8.5

Wearing country boots with silk hosiery is akin to wearing full tweed suit with white marcella shirt with stiff wing collar and white tie.

 

IMO, don't size down, wear it like a country boot with thick country socks.
