Hey gang, hoping some of y'all can help me out with identifying a pair of shoes I just got.

I think the size is 11.5F UK (is this a wide fit?), 202 last? Not sure about the model name.

Look like my old school shoes - Bally Scribes Circa 1993/4. They weren’t pretty.
Thank you for the link. Personally I am not a fan though. Aesthetically speaking I don't see a reason for Chelsea in Black Calf on 303 last . 202 and 82 lasts go together better with oxford shoe style. If 303 fits better to your foot that's another story.
Personally, the interesting part is extrapolating how the last would work on a Galway, rather than focusing on this particular style.

Speaking of which, I have this configuration in mind for a Galway: dark brown utah, 303 last, dainite soles. Which kind of welt do you think would be most suitable? What are even the available options?

Galway on 303 looks very nice, at least on available photos. You can go with either of Classic, Storm-welt, Veldtschoen, it all depends on how and where you intend to wear those boots.

I believe that GMTO is already underway with @Sutefan ?

I love the shape of the last. But I personally am not a huge fan of the sharper lasts like 82.
202 on single leather sole is probably my favourite of the bunch, but for this one, I wanted a thicker sole and heavier look, for which the 303 is just right.

Any advice on which cream to use on London grain? I actually heard that the usual Saphir is not recommended for such leather.
