Tell me how does it feel?

But seriously: These are so god damn sexy. This is the only reason I need to get fitted for Edward Green: to buy a pair of these god damn boots.
Lol! Well played! This is my first pair, I went off the info I’ve read and suggestions from guys that own them. I got lucky, they fit great. I’m a pretty straightforward 10D TTS, so the 9.5/10E was damn near perfect.

Not a huge difference, but for me, with a wider forefoot, there's a noticeable difference. I like both, but if I had it pick one, it would be the 202. The balance is perfect!

If you fit into the 202 COMFORTABLY, then you'll fit in the 82 and it'll feel like it was made for you. Sits closer to the foot.

Close to the foot is good if it's just right. But it can easily become just wrong too ?

Yeah, I feel like I need thicker socks with 202 in the same size...

If I’m just right with no room to spare in 202, would I be okay in 82 with thin socks?

I wouldn't be, but if you're feet are slimmer and longer, you might be.

I do t know. I’ll wait until the pandemic is over and just go to Boston and try some on in 82 to see in person if that last works. Until then, Black Friday will likely find me getting another something in 202 online because I know it works. And I’m a sucker for sales. And who doesn’t need more shoes?

How about some 808 lasts? This lasts seem to fit me the best so far....

Finally got me a pair of Dovers. Here they are next to my Meccs which are a 1/2 size too big. The Centurions are just a little darker. I actually wish the EGs had more of a contrast in the stitching. I can't make up my mind :(

Definitely a fan of that contrast stitching with the suede on the AM's. They both aren't snuff though, right? EG's look more like nutmeg
