Add to that a free pair of shoe trees and a $35.00 contribution to shipping and you have an additional saving of around $200 (the cost of a pair of boot trees at Skyvalet1) Sure, the Galways are brown, but they are pure class and it is $400 - $500 cheaper than Skyvalet1 in Washington and a toilet load cheaper than Leffot With the cash you save you could almost buy another Cordovan boot in any color you like!
Holy crap, those are beautiful! Can you people please stop showing me EGs that I like. I'm running out of space.

Sorry, none of the brands featured on that site are "real hand made" esp. if they are RTW.

EG hand stitches all of their shoes with a pig's bristle.

good for you man. Im looking forward to hearing your thoughts

thanks man, i really wanted them for like 2 months, and this thread was a last... i guess confidence boost that i couldnt of grabbed something better at that price, and thats with the fact that i have northcotes, if that was not the case the Peal n Co cordovans and Rider boot co may have been both heading my way
