Places to buy Edward Green shoes

[tom288]

I live in Jacksonville, Fl and the closest Saks or higher end Dept store/boutique is in Atlanta or Orlando. There are some nice shops around here, but none of which carry Edward Green. Do you know of any online sites where i can purchase EG, or would getting a catalogue directly from them be my best bet? I know they're in London, should I just call them up or what's the easiest way of getting one, what have you done?

Thanks

I'm a newbie (at least when it comes to posting), and I'm sure the veterans will have more sources for you, but I can recommend Grapevinehill. It's an eBay store that offers EG-made Ralph Lauren shoes at good discounts. Look for Ralph Lauren Purple Label -- though they might be called Ralph Lauren Made in England these days.

That store in Hawaii is said to be excellent. Not much EG on GVH.

Not after the recent frenzy, anyway. And just to clarify, EG only makes the Purple Label shoes. The Polo "Made in England" shoes are by Crockett & Jones.

Oh, sorry. I knew that C&J made the normal Polo shoes, but I was led astray because the Camdens also have "Ralph Lauren Made in England" written on the insole. I'm just starting to actually buy some of these items for myself.

Any other online places to get EG's?

I believe Sky Valet in DC will sell you a pair over the phone or via email. However, they're going to want to talk to you to ensure you know your size/last, etc.

Pardon the ignorance, but what is a last?

 

[DocHolliday]

A last is the wooden form a shoe is made on. How well the last matches your foot will determine how well the shoe will fit. For example, if you have narrow heels, you'd want to find a last that can accomodate that.

thanks, has anyone gotten an EG catalogue?

I believe Maus and Hoffman carries Edward Green, they have a few stores in Florida

If you want a free catalogue, just email Edward Green and request one.
