G&G St. James TG73 in Vintage Rioja MTO

[clothesfan]

my first MTO shoe

Many thanks to all of the SF members out there for a wealth of information and to Nick from Bespoke England. He was great to deal with!

Lovely.

Note to myself: "Need pair like that (ex the metal tip)."

 

[Mr. Moo]

Really great.

 

[Orgetorix]

Man...sometimes I think G&G lasts are actually more shapely than my feet.

 

[The_Foxx]

those are nothing short of fantastic-- great purchase! when worn/ laced up, does the "throat" of the balmoral close completely/ both sides touching, or is there a space?

 

[Trompe le Monde]

if i designed the perfect pair of shoes, thoes would be it -- color, broguing, shape, sole treatment, everything.

well, the toe could be a touch less square. but theyre 99.7% there. fantastic pair

 

[SpallaCamiccia]

Great shoes!

I want some Canali similar while I save for those.

 

[Newcomer]

Gosh I need to figure out my size in G&G so I can order a pair

 

[w.o.e.is.me.]

Serious +1.

Fantastic shoes.

The TG73 last is quite elongated and chiseld, though. Very funny looking, therefore, for the large feet.

To the OP: Did the Vintage Rioja come with extra burnishing/antiquing to give it a darker look?

The pattern on the throat looks nicer and more rounded at the bottom edges now than the pattern G&G used over a year ago...which some of us complained was a bit squared...better for you.

 

[Dress to the Nines]

Awesome kicks!

Nice Choice....I did mine in Vintage Cedar on the soft round toe last
