The chukka does look quite nice, but my guess is that it's about twice that price.

It's true, isn't it? The shoes look so much better in person! What did you think of the stingray in person? Pics just don't do it justice...

For a man who previously ordered pigskin galosh derbies...I'm not surprised Luk-cha likes Stingray

The idea of stingray is nice...once you touch it and realize alligator is so much nicer...reality sets in and I moved on

For us Americans the holy trinity is almost complete...Cleverley is almost here...G&G around the corner...does anyone know if Foster's is returning?

I'm not a fan of chukkas in general, but those gator ankle boots are so badass. The stingray is pretty nuts as well. Though my favorite would have to be the wholecuts.

Aaaah the sweet smell of new leather... decisions, decisions. Gotta be the Burlington for me chaps... that's just supa nice. Saying that... I looked at the bespoke Adelaide and knew deep down that I've gotta get me some of those. I already have an MTO version, but its all about the shapes that bespoke offers. Well, we can all dream. I really like that new side gusseted shoe as well. I am interested to see how the new slippers will look. I am after a DJ shoe - not an opera pump - and hope that G&G will release one this year.

Like Mike AY 90210 I was told that I would have to wait till August for the new stuff. I wonder if they will have some new boots as well. The obvious addition is a G&G "Shannon" with the 2 plus 2 ":O:O:O:O" punching along a gimped galosh line. That would seem to be a simple progression from the Canterbury that they already have.

Can the original poster please confirm that he got a Swan's neck in the MTO. J

im hoping i can get that sometime in the next decade.
that would end my pursuit of the elusive, be-all black formal dress shoes for me.


That gator chukka is super sexy. But can this really be used as a black formal dress shoe - either black tie or conservative business dress?

this is a screaming good deal at the current 1.45 USD/GBP. how would one get MTO G&G done in the backwaters of Miami?
