Better get on that. You have a reputation to maintain, after all.

The only way to restore your twinkle is a pair of seamless wholecut.

Seemless wholecuts, does that make Ugolini the Grand Shoe Fairy?

How can you tell if it is grain corrected while standing in such great shadow?

Here is the little blurb on the 32 last discussing the Dover:

32last_Dover.jpg


They actually state that the 32 is EGs most iconic last and the Dover the finest example of a shoe on that last. There is also some chit chat about how the stitching on the apron of the uppers from EG and JLP are a cut above all the rest of the competition. Apparently, there was a time years ago when the stitching on the Dovers was often a bit uneven in quality but that this problem is rarely found today. About 20 years ago they went through a period when there was also a lack of quality artisans who could do the stitching at EG, and there was a rumour that they might have to shut down that operation.

They also talk about how the EG lasts in the 1980s sported much more subtle differences from one another.
