Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

Gents, does any of you have the "in between half a size" issue lately? For example, I've noticed that with their new resin lasts (202 affected as well) the size UK 9.5 E is a bit loose on heel out of box and I can as well close the laces gap as if the shoes are well worn in. Whilst walking, a heel also feels a bit loose, and I'm afraid this might get worse over the period of time.

If I however size down to UK 9 E, I do feel a bit of a pressure on my fingers and the lace gap is there this time.

I am a bit frustrated with the fit lately as this problem never occurs when I try on a new pair of Crockett Jones, John Lobb or Church's shoes, all in size UK 9 E . They all fit just as the new shoes should fit - a bit tight, but not too much. It just seems impossible for me to nail the correct size with the EG.

I have the same issue with 202. I can't size down because of length but it seems like there's too much volume in my normal size. Not sure if I ever tried any pairs that were made using the wooden lasts, I purchased most of my pairs recently.

Temperature dropped below 75. Mix that with a bit of rain and you get the perfect day to break these in.

Ahh, I missed the Rosewood CC Galway. I’ve held that in person and it’s awesome!

Looking forward to seeing your next box from Steve!

Try 9.5 D. E width in 82 fits me almost perfectly, and while I used to get E in 202, I tried D at the shop last year and found it about as good as 82. Obviously the shape of your feet might make your experience different.

Wearing the Dark Oak Dovers today!

I'm planning to order a pair of Oundles on the 202 last and am debating between burgundy and nightshade. I already own the Dovers in dark oak and want something a bit darker but still versatile. What do you all suggest? Is nightshade EG's version of Color #8 by Alden; a dark purplish eggplant color? Any daytime shots of the nightshade would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello all,

I’m not too far away from my first resole on a pair of Chelsea’s and wondered whether a dainite sole is a valid option due to the curvature of the sole from side to side. I’m sure if that’s a general EG style or model specific as this is my on pair of EG’s. Look forward to hearing your opinions, Jack.

Dainite on brown oxfords is a curious combo
