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

[shoefan57]

What would be the Edward Green last with the widest ball of foot measurement but with a tight/narrow/snug heel?

I thought I read that 202/303 might be the widest, but I’ve seen other statements online that all their lasts are similar in width. And I found the 202’s heel to be uncomfortably wide. Does such a last exist?

I agree that C&J are best at that at combination.However , I find the 82 last holds the heel well and provides comfort in the forefoot. The 202 is pretty good for me too. The worst last for heel slip on my feet is the 64 last.

72 maybe? I find it roomier in terms of width and volume than 202, despite being 0.5 size smaller. But it doesn't feel much different in the heel to 202. Not EG, but C&J 378 describes that last perfectly for me "wide at the ball of the foot, tight secure heel".

I'd agree with that. Funny that you quoted CJ as the 72 feels like a CJ last, but with a more secure heel feel, akin to EG.

@lurker33 @shoefan57 @BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes thank you so much. I’m keeping an eye on eBay for a used pair. Will look up the 72 last and add it to my list of things to be on the lookout for.

Perhaps my heels are quite narrower, but the 82 really didn't work out that well for my narrow-compared-to-wide forefoot, but it might also have been an instep issue. The fit on the 82 wasn't that great for me.

Keep in mind, though, that in my case (which might not be the other gentlerman's) I have a very wide foot, so your advice might be right for someone with a narrower one.

Those boots are too sick! Awesome make up! Makes me want a crup loafer even more, but not many showed interest in my proposal for a crup Montpellier 😅

Nice shoes. But nicer trousers 👌. Like they're made out of fizz candy

Does anyone here know where I can find a Greenwich in Espresso or are any Affiliate vendors on this thread thinking of stocking one for spring?

Additionally, if anyone here is a fan of the aubergine antique color, flagging that Leffot is doing a Pre-order for a few models. I recently purchased a pair of Piccadilly in aubergine London grain with some antiquing and it's quickly become a favorite.
