Gemming is such a tired old debate. We need a more sophisticated discussion on something that doesn't enflame peoples, like Topys for instance.

Also does anyone know how G&G marks shoes from sample sales? S for sale, seconds, subs? R for reject?

This year's sale was mostly firsts with a small handful of rejects. The firsts didn't have any marks to indicate they were purchased in a sale.

I picked up a couple of seconds at last year's sample sale and they have a small 'S' written inside.

I've heard that gemming is actually better than no gemming.

Ow, goodness...can we please stop...

Depends on who you listen to and what you want ...or is in your interest...to believe. Try here for a more objective, if not sophisticated, perspective.

Very nice.

One of my biggest shoe regrets of last year.

Here's hoping the St James Kudu and Cedar makes up for it.

Where does that one stand, how many do you have so far?

 

[laufer]

So far just myself.

Good luck.

Are you considering an MTO if the GMTO doesn't work?

Maybe, we will see how it goes.

Here's hoping it works, I know I missed out on the Kudu Isham and was kicking myself ever since. That is until the St. James GMTO came about.
