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

[CasuallyWorked]

One day people are going to realize that Dainite is literally the ******* WORST.

what's the better alternative?

what's the better alternative?

If you want a similar profile R2. If you are okay with a little sole peaking through i much prefer Ridgeway. Made by the same company but feels so much softer plus has a better grip

I

I understand R2 is the double sole version of R1, so rubber only. The decision between R1 or R2 would depend on the profile one wants, if slimmer/dressier or chunkier/“country”.

I might be wrong, but don’t think I see those options as frequently on retailers as RTW vs. Dainite.

You’re correct about Dainite being a much more widely found option on RTW selections. However EG has started using the R1, R2, and even tapered rubber sole a lot more as of late. Frans Boone usually has some non-Dainite selections. Stefan swore off Dainite in his shop and usually goes with R1 over a leather mid on his non boot offerings (it’s so good). @steveyoo1983 usually has something going on with one of those soles.

The first time I ever tried the R1 was on an unlined suede Dover and I’ve loved it ever since.

For EG? R1 or R2 sole. Full stop.

Burgundy Dovers, maiden voyage. On the slim rubber sole. Leaning in to Edward Green these days

I could literally own a rotation of dovers only.

Deleted photo that appeared to show my fly (don’t think it was unzipped though)

dovers are awesome, will order another one soon

Staten Island ferry?

Halifax vs Banbury. Own both and the Banbury get a lot more wear. I’m a bit disappointed in the Drakes collab too.

On Dainite soles, I probably prefer R1/2 or Ridgeway/Medway, but I’ve got plenty of pairs on Dainite and find them perfectly comfortable. Not sure I’d call them all that long lasting though, certainly not when compared with Ridgeway and Medway.

And let me guess, that Dainite studded sole is no worse for wear
