Nick from Bespoke England was close at approximately $855 including 20% discount. That promotion ended a while ago.

The code still works, or it did when I checked a few days ago.

Hi itraxx,

Bespoke England has a 20% code? Please please let me have this to buy my pair of G&G Gable.

Yes please do, hopefully I'll be able to retroactively apply it to my back-order of the St. James II. And order a second pair of something else....

beautiful pair of shoes. this is my favorite style, no laces to get in the way of the craftsmanship and leather, plus they are easy to slip on and off. any closeup pics?

Hi everyone,

I'm still hoping for someone to chime in with the 20% discount code.

Anyone?

Evening gents.

I'm looking for someone who could devote some time to measure pairs of 6 UK E or 6,5 UK E on any last available. (External and internal length and various widths across the sole). I do not want to make an enquiry with Nick just for the sake of asking for measurements (without intention to purchasing from him). From what I've read in this thread, G&G seems to have narrower lasts compared to that of their competitors. Correct me if I'm wrong here. You can either post measurements here or send to me in a PM. Thanks in advance.

What kind of shoes do you wear? It might be easier if you tell us what is your size in other major brands so we could compare the sizing.

Hi there.

I mostly wear oxfords in normal to normal-wide width. Altough it's probably like comparing apples and oranges, I like to use Loake Aldwych (Capital) for reference in which I wear 6 F successfully. I've also tried to break in a 6 G Church's Westbury (173). I have yet to try a 6,5 UK E or F but I'm hesitant because I fear that the girth circumfering the ball of foot will be too roomy. 7 UK (EU 41) are too long for me.

I would strongly recommend that you visit actual store that carries G&G and try on shoes in the store. I see you are in Sweden so visit to to that beautiful city of Stockholm is in order if you are not already living there. I am sure that folks from Skoaktiebogalet will help you.
Please try not to go by measurements because you are taking a big chance and everything will go wrong for sure.
I go out a half size from my Church's shoes on last 173 but I take F width and E width in G&G but this does not help you much.
