What is your Brannock size? My left foot is size US9.25C, my right foot is size US9.5D, and the KN14 last in size UK9E fits me pretty well out of the box. I think that the KN14 runs narrower than the laceup lasts.


My brannock is 9d and fit perfectly in 8uk d width in mh71 and e width on the tg73. I got a chance to try on the kn14 at bergdorf in a 8e and it was way too big all around. I'm more like 7.5e in the kn14 last but can't know for sure bec they didn't have one to try. Strange about the sizing.

@Ironist, when the dark oak Shannons arrive, they will join in on the fun! Too many bal boots I think... which to unload...

On the fence with these since the colors are pretty close:

Nice pickup!

Can you please take a top down photo of the Hayes and Canterbury side by side? Curious to compare the toe boxes. Thanks.

Dear All,

Thanks to all those that came out to the sale.

For those of you that were not able to make it, there is still some good news left.

Within a week or two's time, G&G will put up their leftover sale stock online for it to be made available for those that are not in England/London area.

However, you are kindly asked to NOT write/call them up and see what will be there, what the price will be, whether or not they can hold one for you etc. Please understand that just because Dean and Tony or whoever in their company are more accessible than that of most brands are, that the fact remains that sample sales are still very much a "First Come, First Serve Flash Sale" and will be treated as such without any special favors. (and I will purposely not know anything so please do not ask me either)

When the sale is live, everyone will be made aware, whether it on SF, my blog or through their email list.

That being, save up your pennies as there are still over 200 pairs left to be had (with a good range of sizes)!

Sincerely,

Justin


Whatever happened to this anyway? Did I miss something?

What! How did you get those Canterbury!

I was lucky to have a kind soul across the pond to get them for me! You still are +1 since you got 3 pairs, right?
Love that grey color.

Thanks!

Vintage gray & gray suede. The burnishing is great! It's like museum look.

I'll get this later today. The Hayes is slightly longer although the fit is definitely fairly comparable to the other lasts as I wear the same size on all of them (well, D width on the KN14 loafer).

Still waiting...if I'm lucky, @Ironist will pick them all up and save me some $.

Not sure if it is separate to the sale from Nick / Bespoke England?

Hmm, so you mean that the sale Justin mentioned earlier is actually the one that Nick is having right now? Has G&G outsourced all it's sale stock to Nick?

How is Nick's/ Bespoke England customer service with everyone else during this sell? I asked him to hold a pair of boots for me, after waiting 9 days without a response, I emailed him for a response. It turned out he sold the pair during that time. Stuff happens. I asked him about a different pair of shoes, a present for my father, but he never returned my email. That was 8 days ago.

Same here, never got an answer to my email that I sent about a week ago.
