Hey what do you guys think of the specs for this MTO? Think it would look better with natural, tanned, or dark brown edge trim?


It might be a little boring, but i think in dark brown edge trim & welt, it would compliment this balmoral wingtip perfectly. If you go with the tanned edge trim & welt however, you can always darken it if it's too light for you, so it might be the more versatile option...

This is a good point, because i actually found EG to be a little loose in the heel, so the GG fit is better for me.

On that point, if your EG fit is quite good in the heel and instep, an increase in width might be a better way to go...


Agree with this. Whenever I hear people sizing up in length to account for something, I shudder at the thought of heel slip. I think up in width is preferable almost every time.

For me:

202/82: 7.5E
MH71: 7F
Barrie: 7.5E (American width)
Brannock: 8E

Wide foot, high instep here.

Just placed an MTO for BRG Gable on TG73 with Skoaktiebelagot, to beat the price rise.

I guess that makes me 'Man of (British Racing) Green Gables'!

Sincere apologies for that...
