New Edward Green Berkely Black Captoe 8.5/9B

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
For your consideration a new pair of Edward Green Berkeley Captoes in Black. They are marked size 8.5/9B UK (I'm no EG expert so please correct me if this is not the proper nomenclature) They are on the 202 last. These shoes are absolutely the only black shoes you will ever need -- a black captoe oxford with an elegant rounded toe. They have the signature two-tone black and tan EG sole. Not much more to say, these are definitely as classic as it gets.

These come with an edward green shoe bag (see pics). I also have the box but unfortunately the lid was missing when I bought it and the sales people could not find it. These do not come with the EG shoe trees. At the moment I have a pair of woodlore combination trees (M) in them which you're welcome to have for an additional $20 (what I paid).

Seeing that these are missing the box lid and do not have EG trees I'm struggling a little to price them. I'll start at 380 shipped CONUS. For $400 I'll send the woodlore trees with them. I feel like anything sub $400 for new EG is a very good price but there aren't really many comps, SkyValet has these listed at $1100. I prefer domestic buyers but will ship internationally as well. Thanks.

Measurements:
Length: 11.75"
Width at widest: 3.875"

Yes these are certainly narrow but in this length I thought there must be someone out there willing to cash in on a good deal.

I wish I could say for sure - I noticed this X/X style on Aportnoy's new shoe damage thread as well. Not sure if its UK/US. Hopefully someone will clarify.

If you walk into the shoe section, they are in the very front on the right hand side. I think maybe two rows...about 8 or so. If I remember correctly, the prices I saw were around 1k...maybe a bit less and a bit more on some (I'm awful at remembering numbers though so please don't be upset if I'm wrong). They had two brown ones I was drooling over. I also took a gander at some barker blacks which were nowhere near as sleek as I'd imagined them to be.

These shoes are still available. I've had several nibbles but so far no bites.

Please put these on hold for me. My brother just ruined a pair of my black shoes and I think these would replace them nicely... When I get home this evening I'll compare your measurements with some of my other shoes to see if they will fit me.
