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

[Schipy]

I was at the Edward Green sale in London last week and picked up some Shannon and Galway boots. I thought I would upload some images in case anyone was interested.

First is a pair in Dark brown Utah, on the 82 last.

Lovely! What were the prices like?

Half price most of them.

Less than half price most of them. Some things in odd styles or widths were cheaper. Unfortunately I have a wide fore foot with slim heel so tend to suffer from heel slippage with a lot of the shoes but I found a couple of pairs of the boots fit well.

This is a pair of Galways in Russian Calf, on the 72 last. Veldtschoen construction.

Do you know what the defect is? I understand there were issues with this production run (which I was meant to be part of)

 

[CLTesquire]

Folks, what are your experiences with London Grain? Softer than country calf? As soft as Utah?

I have looked over them and I can't see any defects although the stitching around the welt doesn't seem as clean as some of the other Galways I have. I will upload some photos later for comparison. The leather is also a lot stiffer but maybe it softens up once broken in. I have read the Russian calf is supposed to be quite durable so maybe there is a trade off.

Interesting none seem to be marked as seconds.

Yes I'm keeping two, possibly three pairs and will be listing the other three to offset my shoe bill

Lol, that would make sense if all the shoes you listed were same / similar size. I smell a flipper.

They sold a lot of overstock in the london sale based on comments I’ve read. This wasn’t the usual factory shop stock.

Would have been better off just proxy'ing for the members here ?

Edit - don't see them anyway

Those Galway’s in RG are spectacular! As Jischwar mentioned, proxying would have guaranteed you a sale to me. I’d definitely have bitten if I knew these were available in my size. Of course to be fair, I know that adds a layer of risk for you as well.

Next time . I only found out the day before so it was a bit of a rush to get there after work.

Here are some Galways in Rosewood Calf / Clove Suede 8.5 UK E 82 last with HAF sole.
These almost fit but I'm usually an 8 F on the 82 last so find these a bit long. I love the colors though even if I prefer the darker shades

Unfortunately there were mostly just single sizes so you didn't have a lot of choice. You had to check what was available in your size \ last, then if it was something you liked try it on. Of course it would be hard to find a Galway, Shannon or Cranleigh boot I don't like.
