I believe he is, though I can’t say I’ve been back to the store recently.Ah. Is Sasha, of whom i never warmed up to, still running things up there?

He is not. Tom is now. I've always found Tom to be much more personable. My personal rule is that if it's less than 10 percent cheaper I'll go local since often times that just GST and I don't mind supporting local business. But when it crosses over 20 percent for the exact same product I'm going to go with the cheaper option.Ah. Is Sasha, of whom i never warmed up to, still running things up there?

Nope. Had no intention to buy anything having just done an MTO earlier this year so didn't feel like wasting their time.@JustPullHarder did you attend the December MTO event?
I missed it. Was wondering if they offered any interesting styles (well, displayed any interesting styles)?
I was told by they are known to fit snugly around the foot as they are more closely oriented towards the foot's shape than most other RTW brands.Is it usual for EG shoes to fit more tightly compared to other makers in the same size and fit?
In my experience, yes. I still wear the same size as I would in other brands, but they are a little more snug.Is it usual for EG shoes to fit more tightly compared to other makers in the same size and fit?
Given how great the calf is on EG, you can get them stretched nicely without much problem. The leather is soft and supple. If you really feel uncomfortable, that might be the best approach.Thanks for your replies. My new pair of 7E EG in 202 is tight to shoehorn in and snug around the foot. I did try on in store and the sales guy there was of the view that 7E was right for me, rather than 7.5 which I had initially asked for. It does feel more tight and less comfortable around the forefoot, but I am hoping that as the leather naturally loosens with wear it will become just right, and that the snugness will mean less creasing around the vamp.
In contrast my new pair of Crocketts in 7E are comfortable out of the box, neither tight nor loose. Although older pairs of 7E have become looser to the point I can almost slip a finger behind the heel, so I am guessing whether EG’s fit more tightly to compensate for the leather loosening with wear...?
