Would like a warm brown, but not too dark. Right now thinking burnt pine (same as the Dovers below), any other suggestions?

What last/s are the ones on the lower left and lower right made on?

Nice collection!!! I vote for Lichfield/Canterbury. What size do you wear? The more refined brogueing on the Lichfield is quite nice with the smaller, more dainty feet I think.

I do have derbies/suedes etc in other makers. Pretty set on the calf adelaide, just trying to nail down the color.

Tks TD. I am a 9/9.5 or 9.5/10 last dependent. How do you think they work for mid-sized feet?

Hazel is an incredibly nice brown shade and I think would be a wonderful addition to your amazing EG collection.

Wow, I really wasn't even aware of some of these colors. All of my EGs have been rtw at this point. As I explore the MTO, hopefully I'll be able to check some of them out in person.
Pliny - is that whiskey color a calf or cordovan option (not even sure if EG makes too much cordovan)?
Thanks!

Thanks!

it's cordo - the Leathersoul site has great photos in exotic colours and the place for MTO.
congrats on your collection

The EG Southwold does not get much love around here but they're one of my favorites!!

Love 'em. With sole edges that protrude like that because of the norvegese construction - it's either love 'em or hate 'em - I don't think there's a middle ground.

I couldn't have said it better myself, friend. Norvegese is DEFINITELY a question of personal taste. There's a definite style to them, and they do stand out. One thing for sure, when you show up for a job interview with a pair, they remember your name (they might not actually HIRE you, but...)

Glad you like 'em.

Totally. And put me firmly in the "love" column. Great shoes!

love these, I would wear the hell out of them

 

[imatlas]

I like 'em more than most of the norvegese that have been posted lately. That's a good style for the treatment, and this isn't as OTT as some of the others.
