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

[bespoken pa]

Corthay is a bit too fashion forward for me. I didn't find the shoes I handled to be any better constructed than eg.

Quoted GBP 920 by Jermyn St for The Nevis Boot. Have they had a price hike?

Yes, a slight hike.

With so many awesome Galway contributions to this thread, I am finding it pretty hard to decide what make up I like the most and that should be part of a future order. Currently, I am somewhere in between dark oak/mink suede and dark oak/grain, but I am not sure. I am thinking that the suede version might be a bit less versatile. Up until recently I was convinced that the grain version was the only way to go.

What do you guys think? What is the nicest Galway make up?

I hope this helps!

Yeah, thanks. Don't think it's the same pair though, the colors are listed as blue in the previous one and black in the new, and do look a bit different. The sticker on the sole seem to be in a bit different place as well. But they are certainly made for the same Hardy Amies-show.

Poor EG - they have been relegated to the likes of Kurt Geiger, Russell & Bromley

hoodog - I don't think there's a "best" - but I haven't seen a pair I'd swap these for:

That said, I'd probably say the same if I owned them in blue, or in that lovely bronze shade one retailer is carrying. I don't think the suede / calf combo is any less versatile - it's a matter of personal preference - but for me, I decided that I wanted a dressier all suede bal boot as a companion to the Galway.

+1. Those are just gorgeous.

EG cannot do anything to the pair of shoes linked above. They were color with a gold cream polish.

Here is their response:

Dear Sir

The shoes in question were polished with a gold cream for a fashion show as you mentioned.

I am afraid it is not possible to now change the colour with any degree of success.

put black polish on top?

 

[gyasih]

Not sure. I contacted EG because even with a re-craft they could still be a steal.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the EoM sale is ongoing? I would love to pick up a pair of calf/suede Shannons.

I emailed the info@ email address but posts here indicate Mark is the gentleman with whom to speak. Can someone share his contact details?
Cheers,
Paul

Sorry bud, the sale's over. But that email address you posted is answered by Mark.

Hi guys,

Just picked up these babies for a song on Ebay. I imagine they'll be pretty awesome once I'm having them refurbished.







I emailed EG and they confirmed that they were made by them. However, the refurbishment comes to an eyewatering 275 pounds (shipping both ways included, though, and I'm from Denmark) and a 8-10 week delivery time. Anyway, I'm thinking about having them resoled with Dainite, so I can use them for semi-elegant rainy day boots. By the same token I thought about getting rid of the stom welt and having them replaced by a regular welt, to add to the sleekness-factor (by looking more like the Alderlay) – do you think that's possible?

Cheers,
SKM
