I bought a pair a few years back and had to get rid of them due to comfort issues. The dover on the 606 last is worth the price.

I have two, and had an old Dover from the 90`s. The sole on the Isham (double sole) is not very comfortable, and even after a year does not take easy to bending, whereas I never thought of this on the Dover. I wore mine yesterday, and after a day, my feet were tired. They also fit looser than the St Jameses I have. And the standard leather always lose their appearance after wearing, and the creases always look dry.

Those were the same issues I had so i gave up on G&G. The shoes are too expensive to figure what works.

Thank you for your reply.
I heard Dover is available also in Delaprè Utah. Do you have experience with that leather?
