The new prices on MTOs are in on Bespoke England which has opened up a nice arbitrage opportunity:

Too bad I couldn't go passed the colour choice :D


Claes- Thanks for letting me know. Sorry for this price confusion. I'm currently updating the MTO pages which is nearly done now including some alligators now available. Lizard and stingray will be on there soon. So many choices now!

Also, 6 of the latest styles now available including these Monk Straps: Grosvenor, Mayfair, Regency

I have an issue with my current G&G's (aside from the squeakiness). The left shoe when I walk the vamp bends dow cuts the top of my big toe. Is this just a sizing issue? I was thinking maybe going down a half a size, but in a wider width. Would this make any difference? When I was initially trying on shoes the uk 9 it seemed that my instep was too high, but it fit (laces could barely close) then uk 9.5 fit fine, but I have this toe cutting issue. Any ideas?


Can anybody provide any insight on this?

Most gorgeous boots ever.

Why the Lobb blue polish though on a oxblood shoe?

I never would have thought of it either. That was all Ethan. I told him I wanted the toes darker like this pic.

I really do believe G&G are head and shoulders above any other shoes I have tried, Lobb, Vass, EG etc.

Blue polish over burgundy adds richness to the color. Steven Taffel from Leffot suggested this technique to me once and I like it.

Had the same issue with my Decos but it dissapeared after a few wears. So can't really help you, sorry.

Nice! I love the deco and on this shot they look much better than the photos on GGs website
Do you wear them outside in Sthlm now eventhough there is a lot of small stones on the street?


It's a hard wait is it not Claes? :) Yes, I wear them despite the gravel. With the ice and snow finally gone from the pavements in Stockholm it's Deco Time. :D I think Allde is getting a new G&G shipment in this week... G&G Stock Line models.


How is C&J shoes compare to G&G? 


How does a Volvo compare to a Ferrari? Yes Volvo is a decent car but if I can afford a Ferrari, ah, well...

Are the prices for G&G shoes online the same? Or is there some good website were I can get it cheaper? Thinking about buying a pair just to see what i'm missing...

Have yet to receive this, but will post more pictures when they arrive.


I really like that gray. EG recently also made a boot like that with a colour they call slate. Does anyone here have a pair?
