If somebody is so close to your ankle that the logo under the lacing is an issue, you've got a bigger problem than branding IMO. LOL
To each their own. Certainly lots of people are here because they do worry about the details of their clothes. I just don't dig branding on any clothes, or shoes.

Anyone recall when EP added the single sleeve button to the Doyles? Was a generation/run after the switch from the lettered sizes to numbered?

Without extra materials, I guess I wouldn't be able to cut and add a button, hmm.

I feel the same way actually. I agree that it's subtle on the top of the tongue and if maybe hidden by laces but I just don't like branding on the outside of clothing as a general rule. One exception is when it's a logo design that adds something, like I do like the "W" stitched on the back pockets of my Wrangler jeans. I do pull the leather patch on the back off though.

Btw, I love the Sport Trainer look and fit. I still wear my original Epaulet mono grey model. Someday I will definitely want to pick up a pair in natural horsehide. They are to me the perfect sneaker shape.

@Epaulet

I have a pair of the original cuoro chromo calkskin tennis trainers from 2015 in 7.5. I'm technically a 7.5D on the Brannock, but my left foot is between 7.5 and 8 and it starts to hurt once it swells from walking around. I think I have a high instep on my left foot, while my right foot otherwise seems fine.

Do you think a shoe stretcher would be able to stretch the shoe enough to accommodate it?

Just went in on the leopard poplin. Too cool to pass up.

@DapperDan08 thanks dude!

@FrankCowperwood looks fantastic... enjoy it!

@kczsilence yup, our original Doyles were made 2013-2014 and did not have the sleeve button. We restarted Summer of '17, and all of those have the newer design

@dupedd awesome, glad that you dig them so much! It was actually still the most popular shape in our preorder, which we're gonna close and send over to Portugal tomorrow.

@KaleidoscopicK yeah it's definitely worth a try, you might consider running them over to a cobbler.. they've got their own Wu-Tang styles to stretch out footwear.

Went (almost) all Epaulet for Mothers Day brunch, which now that I think about it I think I did last year as well. Might have to make it a new tradition...

Anyway, EP jacket, Jets to Brazil shirt, Japanese crosshatch linen Rudys, EPxCarmina shoes and an EP belt hiding in there as well.
