Is there a difference between the EG "midnight blue' and the G&G 'midnight blue'?

From what I see the EG looks like its more greyish, and the G&G is more saturated/brighter?

Wearing my EG Shannons for the first time today. I'm really happy with these and look forward to wearing them a lot.

Button boots eh? I asked a friend since I'm out of touch with the mainstream but he found then to be terribly hideous. I thought they looked cool but I think people's normal reactions would be like wtf are you wearing.

Oh and I always thought boots always looked better on their own but once worn, shoes are better since you can see the whole shoe but only a portion of the boot. The lines seem like they were interrupted and the picture is incomplete. Just my 2 cents. Still love and buy a lot of boots.

you must be a real wham, bam, thank you mam. I always prefer the part left to the imagination and thus the hidden wonders only a good boot can provide...

I love boots. When living in a cold climate they are a necessity, and you can never have too many pairs :)
