Laces swap is a must for the Galway 2. I'm on the Monday list also, hopefully I'll see more pics before I leave the office, But already excited by the second set of photos. Well done.

Would electing blind eyelets be allowed under the GMTO rules?

Pretty sure everyone in the GMTO has to have the same specs.

The only difference or variation I have seen is people adding toe taps for an additional charge.

Beautiful photos gentlemen!

Thanks again to @KPDarb. I basically swept in at the 11th hour, and was able to be added to the GMTO. They are lovely boots . . . I got mine today but haven't had a chance to take any photos. Between the C&J Whiskey Lindrick, Whiskey Marlow, Whiskey Galway, and the Allen Edmonds Dalton in natural shell, I may have gone a bit overboard on light colored shell . . . but I always want more . . .

Galway 2 photos are excellent, representative of the pair I received today. Eyeballing the fit and it seems that Lauren really nailed it.

Thank you KPDarb, you must have tremendous patients. Thanks everyone for being part and making this special boot happen.
I will find a bottle that matches the shell- mine have a Highland Park 18 or West Cork 10 hue. very nice pairing

Am I reading the GMTO spreadsheet correctly - no dark brown wing tip bluchers active right now? New to this, hankering for some shell in my life again

I too would be on board with some dark brown shell wingtips (Dainite). I guess we just need another 10 or so to make it happen?

As if there weren't enough photos... here are some of my pair that just arrived.


Oh wow, that finishing is marvelous! My Lindricks had some poor stitching and small tears in the Shell on the shaft (almost as if pull-tabs were stitched on and then ripped off), but I think this is fully an aesthetic problem, not structural, so I don't mind too much. But seeing how perfect these came out makes me a bit jealous!

Would you say your Rocado Whiskey belts would be a fair match/compliment to these? The Tiger Stripe brown is darker but it looks like it might pair decently too (and I've got more shades of shell coming in so a versatile shell belt may be ideal over a perfect match!).

Would be nice if we could get an American D width run going. I would be in on that.
