Butterfly loafers

Can anyone help me decipher the writing and does anyone know if they were made by Cleverley or if it was one of the other English shoemakers

Pictures of the actual shoes (and soles/heel) would help identify who made them

As the saying goes: “ if the shoe fits, buy it in every color”. View attachment 1419229

@Terrence O'Connor Nice! Those the Adams? Also how is the fit? True to size?

Sorry I don’t know the names. I just meet Mr. Glasgow in his hotel suite, point out the style, tell him the color, wether leather or suede and a few months later “ Bob’s your uncle”.
The fit has always ben perfect and the shoes are always comfortable right out of the box. I don’t know about “true to size”, I just rely on whatever size they feel is right for the particular shoe selected. Cheers

@Terrence O'Connor Thanks for the reply. What I meant by "true to size" is do you take your usual shoe size?

 

[Terrence O'Connor]

I seem to take a different size depending on the style; loafer or lace up. Shoes from other brands are different sizes. I don’t buy shoes without trying them on, so I can’t say I have a “ usual size”.

So apparently (educated guess), when the Sargent factory shut down, they sold off a whole bunch of RTW GC pairs at heavy discount. They're now floating around ebay at knockdown prices.

Any particular eBay seller?

I just bought a pair from this guy:

| eBay

They're the GC for Kingsman shoes (which appear to be close to Sargent's handgrade line in terms of quality).

@clee1982 you need to snap up those 8.5UK models. He's also taking offers if you message him directly (knocked $10 off the pair).

Do these run narrow?
