They are at or near the top of the food chain. They retail for well over a thousand a pair..
Wow, craziness! How do EGs rank in terms of quality when compared to other high-end brands discussed here? And why is everyone willing to spend so much money on them? I'm kind of a shoe newbie so go easy on meOriginally Posted by Opermann

It's a much softer last, with curvier lines. It's like the 888 ate too many doughnuts, but not necessarily in a bad way -- just a bit Rubenesque. Looks best without a toe cap, I think.Originally Posted by DocHolliday
Great description.. I love the 89 for more "casual" shoes. I think it's perfect for monks, and I would love a pair of derbies on it.

And thanks to the dollar's unbelievable value, they will be or already are more than that i think.

Is it really shell! It looks gorgeous. Is it a dark brown shell?Originally Posted by Lawman
Thanks.
All of the C&J for Polo brown shells (including the McCallum chukkas and the Marlow/Darlton wingtips, bluchers and loafers) are the same shade of dark brown shell. It's a great color.

Any comments on the Sheldon monks in terms of last and sizing? I don't know what last it's on, so I just purchased it in my regular sz. US11. The 888 in sz. UK10.5/11U.S. fits quite well, and I'm wearing Mackays right now. Hopefully the Sheldon monks aren't much different.
