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

And that is excellent, because most shops stock only E width, Frans Boone stock both E and F. But those of us needing F width either need to have most shoes MTO with EG or shop at Borghini Classic.

I think if you ask EG to make you their standard model in F width then it is at no extra charge.

That’s right, just a three to four month wait.

I guess my point is that E width customers have several retail options to “buy and go” but F fit ( and G fit) customers have very few options to “buy and go”. So it’s good to have Borghini….

Fair enough.

Not questioning the usefulness for the severely disadvantaged EG F width community, I just found it odd that that is all they stock. Seeing it as a USP I guess it makes sense though.

Yes, I agree that they very likely see it as their USP

Does F width means the whole shoe is made wider or is it just the toe box? I have gaping issues in the sides of my UK8E Piccadilly so wonder if going to F width helps. Thanks!

Galway question:

I recently purchased these guys here. When I’m wearing them, they are quite tight here where the tongue is sewn on to the vamp — tight even when not laced up:

Yet when I tighten up the laces, there is very little gap between the two sides of the derby closure (maybe 1-2mm when the laces are drawn tightly.

Is this normal? The two seem like they should be mutually exclusive.

Here it is with a shoe tree inside and I am just pinching the sides shut with my fingers, with not a lot of force — the gap is very small:

I have EG shoes being delivered from Borghini tomorrow. I didn't notice when I bought them that they were F. Oops... maybe it will be ok...?

Probably won't be unless you have a wide foot.

Agree with @JFWR depending on the last, F will be quite a wife shoe

Ambleside MTO on 202 in color 4ish cognac crup via The Hand. I'd requested the lightest shade of cognac available. Will take outdoor pics this weekend if weather holds
