Q about Edward Green Telford and Heel Picture Request

Dear gang,

If anyone here is willing, ready and able, I am after some pictures of the heel (from behind, so counters, etc.) on the latest EG Telford. I checked the shoe-pictorial index, but it seems that there aren't any from this particular angle.

I also remember a 'modified' Telford popping up on the forums lately. I think it was just the Telford without heel counters or medallion. Is that acceptable on MTO or would it likely up things to 'Top Drawer' nowadays?

Ta!

Without heel counter or medallion is a simple MTO modification

Top Drawer involves major modifications...the above don't qualify at all

If any it simplifies the model and creates less work for the factory folks

I assume that in the main, adelaides included heel counters to give the shoe aesthetic balance. I however, believe they look sleeker without. Bravo to the chap with the heel counterless Telfords

Indeed! jjl5000 is an aesthete; I mean, the chap without the heel counters is an aesthete
