These look better after a second look, or even a third. Needs to air out so to speak

^ true, true. Something else hard to appreciate is how the Gable is made from a single piece of leather. Incredible craftsmanship

You can contact the new swedish store Skoaktiebolaget (http://www.skoaktiebolaget.se). One of the owners post here under the nickname "Leaves". Very service minded and no VAT for US customers so that shouldn´t be any difference from Bespoke England.

Everyone says that, but two weeks now and there has been no reply to any of my e-mails. He is obviously on holiday or something.

LS in Hawaii supplied my first G&Gs, but they don't stock G&G any more. It is difficult to trust anyone else after you have developed a really good relationship with one very reliable and trustworthy supplier.

It is either Nick or bust I guess.

I'll give it one last go

i had the same situation with a G&G i was interested in, no answer so i built it using a website - then ordered it from the swedish supplier.
if they snooze, they loose. you can skin the cat anyway you want, just look around & pay attention.

Worse comes to worst, you can email [email protected] about having something made, as per their website.

Agree. I keep a spreadsheet with info of every pair of shoes I own/owned that includes size info, last, buying price, selling price, where they were purchased, sold (to whom). The spreadsheet is a constant reminder of how i need to sell several pairs and more importantly stop buying new one

Thanks for that. Actually, that was the first place I tried.

I may have to wait until Nick begins to post on SF and see if I can corner him long enough to make a purchase.

Somebody mentioned a Swedish supplier, does anyone know how to contact them?

He goes by username Leaves

i wondered about that. thanks for confirming.

in the good news section, regarding my gables, the full socks, combined with some dr. scholls inserts (which happen to be really comfy) have done the trick. the shoes will stay, and now fit superbly!
again, huge thanks to nick @ bespoke for facilitating my not having to return the shoes. i am much obliged!

What was the cost of the G&G sole insert?

And congrats on getting the shoes to fit.
