PM me as well. Spoo and I are the same size, but the 888 fits me much better.

I'm a 12. Not selling now but might at some point down the line.


Is that US or UK 12? I'm a US 12D... ?

If in the future you wish to chat about selling and they don't fit the other two who inquired consider sending me a PM.

I'd guess 12 US since they are rlpl, too big for me either way.

Something old (26-year old EG Windsors in Acorn for Nordstrom on the 201 - recrafted with HAF sole, sunken metal toe taps, dark brown waist, light sole edge treatment):



Something new(er) (EG Falkirks in Chestbut Antique on the 82):

i would hate myself if i passed up $300 EGs


That was back when I thought $300 was too much for a pair of shoes. And when EG PSAs & SF frenzies were regular. Now that I know better, EG doesn't ship sale shoes anymore and PSAs are few and far in between.

Oh how I miss my Falkirks. I'm still going to get a pair one of these days. Maybe in the Hardy Amies style of blue/baby blue.

I got a pair of RLPL Barksdales in edwardian antique from GVH back in the day - I think they were $300 or $400 back then. My favorite shoes and they have the mileage to prove it. Is that the 101 last - I remember they were really uncomfortable initially but eventually became my most comfortable pair. Can walk for hours in them - but did have to go up a 1/2 size.

The Hardy Amies are nice to look at, I'm just not sure I have the wardrobe to match.

Why did you get rid of your Falkirks? Size issue?
