And now for something a little bit different. Black... on the 888 last.

Not exciting, but practical.

Lovely shoes guys!

Is the Galway available as RTW? Or are they MTO only?

My first Edward Green pair
These are Brooksville in UK 9,5/10E 888 Last, calf and suede combo.







I normally wear european 43,5 (UK9,5) and this pair fits me very well, need to break-in a little, but from the beginning feels nice.
In opposite to the 202 and 82 lasts, which I tried in blucher and oxford variants, they do not fit - too narrow and low instep, that's why oxfords looks awfull, bluchers were simply uncomfortable. It's a pity as I really like how EG models looks like.
Two shots from the shop, sorry for the crapy iphone pictures, poor light.

the 202 is for a low instep?

In my opinion - yes. Maybe I'm wrong and the reason was the width, but the eyelet tabs on the oxfords formed a very nasty wide V on my feet.
From the other side - I didn't try oxford in 82 and 888 lasts, only derbies, so can't compare the instep.

Interesting - my feeling was that the 202 is a bit roomier than the 82 / 888 which are similar apart from the toe shape.
