Do metal toe taps come standard? I wonder if G&G will start offering that as well.


Thanks for the great report, amerikajinda.

You are correct. It was indeed antique burgundy, which has become an increasingly popular Edward Green finish.

You're quite welcome. I asked Alex (Bateman) about the toe taps - he said they could be put on any shoe per request...

I had a bolt of inspiration in the shower yesterday. This shoe would be great as the Shannon boot.

My two pair of Top Drawer are in hand and will be featured in a shoe damage thread in the very near future. Just waiting on a certain delivery from Hawaii, too.

Wish I could have made it to the show, but was out of town. From the excellent photos, it looks as though they mixed things up nicely this time; I especially like the looks of the boots.

I'm curious what you're going to shift your focus to once you have every model of eg in all your favorite lasts? :p

The color is burgundy and the leather is calf and suede. EG can make it up in any of its leathers (so it could be all dark oak calf, for instance) or combination thereof.

By thye way, there will be another Edward Geen trunk show at Sky Valet on November 6-7th.
