I don't know if the moss green is different compared to army green as I'm not familiar with that color. I saw it on the EG stand at Pitti, liked it, so I ordered it. Edward Green has made a number of custom makeups for me, so I'm used to waiting. The waiting time does not bother me.
And, of course, handsewn models take at least a month longer because they have just two handsewer, so work is queued up.

Hmmm. I like the bellows because it opens up wider, making it easier to get into or out of the boot.
The Cranleigh has a lower shaft so it's naturally easier to put on, and indeed as @jischwar said, the non-bellows tongue does open up wider:

Not to keep the shoe tree conversation going for too long, but I recently bought a pair of EG shoe trees on eBay that are marked as 202/606 E/F (see photos). Not sure if this is an indication that they are last specific or just a point in time thing they did.

The interesting thing is that they were sold as 10.5UK and (while they don't have a size written on them) they do not fit in my 10.5UK 202 Chelsea oxfords. They are too wide and will not go into the shoe at all. They will fit a 10UK CJ Connaught.

Go Figure!

I think that, paradoxically, a generic tree, given its extension in length and width, will fit your shoes better.

The Crockett Jones has the same issue. Their very own current line of wooden shoe trees does not fit at all in a variety of styles. Not even possible to slot them in Boston loafers for example.

Hey Guys, looking for an assist on these. Wondering if anyone has a pic of them after a few wears on them. Asking for a friend [geez].

Looking to replace these (if anyone is interested)……….

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
