Galway 2 is an incredible boot and much sought after. I bought two pair earlier this year and kept the size that fit better. That said, I have a brand new pair in box for sale in the buy-selling forum if anyone is interested

Beautiful. Too bad it isn’t my size.

Ditto.. I’d snag it otherwise.

Apron doesn’t look the same.

Your best bet is probably here on the forum or eBay as you say. I don’t know why you don’t like the fit but have you considered something like felt insoles?

Cheers. I didn't think selling was permitted here. I have tried insoles, leather not felt and they didn't do the trick. I might yet stick with them as I really like the look of the boots. Has anyone got the new Aldershot yet?

Have you tried orthotic insoles? Like superfeet, orthaheel etc...?

It was a game changer for me and it is only £20 to experiment so I would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Yup, those are the Galway II in suede, made by C&J for Richard James in the same 325 last. I have those boots, and love them

Top tips...?

No worries the ones I use are superfeet men's 3/4 easyfit insoles. I tried a few models but that worked the best so far.

Perhaps they’re made by C&J, but that apron is clearly not the Galway II apron. So looks like those boots are a, “reasonable facsimile”, as we say in the federal government.
