Got my first pair of EG from MoL this week, a pair of Galway on last 82 in Edwardian antique. It was quite funny that this was one of the shoes that he sold since i have a Galway MTO on the way from Edwards of Manchester january sale. In january i i wasn´t sure what make up to take and it was between Edwardian and Dark oak. I went for the Dark Oak and then this turns up...must have been faith

The dark oak is with double dainite for the colder part of the year and this one with single leather sole, feels like i got the perfect Galway set up now.


It is extremely beautiful.

Gorgeous!!!

Any plans to get another version later on?

My second pair isn't due until January or February of next year and I'm already contemplating getting another pair.

Yes DpprDr,
Chameleon Oundle in 82, Edwardian Walcot in 888, and Saddle Shell NST Carmina in Simpson.   Love your EG collection too.


Thanks, and it's surprising how quickly they add up. I like the exotic colors but they would stay on the shelf as they're just too much for work (and weekends I prefer my casual Aldens). Is your G&G on the TG73 or Deco? Excellent color on those pair too.

EG and G&G are killing me right now!

I have two pairs of Galways on 82 (Dark Oak/calf and Midnight Blue/suede) and they both work with a suit. I have a pair of Shannon MTOs on order. Can't wait. But my fave is a balmoral in blue from G&G that absolutely kicks ass.


Ha those are the exact two combos I am tossing around for my first pair of Galways... do you find you get more or less wear out of one pair vs. the other?

Also FWIW I was eyeing the Shannons alongside the Galways even though I know they shouldn't necessarily be compared. I came down on the side of the Galways but I still think the Shannons are boss, especially with a tux.

NAMOR what would you take for head-turningness -- Shannons or Epsoms?

As I wrote, I ordered a Galway MTO in January which I haven't got yet. If I go for a third pair that would be with country calf / suede with shearling lining on last 64 and ridgeway soles.

I'm sorry Frank, I missed that.


Very nice, more of a real winter boot.


I'm not sure if I'll go for a third one or not, but it certainly isn't totally out of the question.

Two of the same model is enough. There are so many other makers with nice models. I'm eyeing a StC chukka :)
They have a DM ankle boot that I like a-la JLP William boot. I agree 2-3 models of the same style but different color is good... Unless you like Alden LWBs like me... :)

For EG, thinking of eventually picking up a second pair of Dovers and later 2 Beaulieus (burgundy and slate)
