I think I like the Shanklin a bit more than the Arran just because I feel like EG's less refined/angular style works better on these

Just rec'd my EB MTO from January. They look wonderful, but holy cow, these things are enormous. Perhaps it's to accommodate a wider foot, but it feels about a full size longer than Carmina's rain last. For reference these are on the 2102/B last.

Congratulation and yes last 2102B is indeed long with the very high instep.

@Leaves we need some assistance here...

@tifosi and I were just discussing a serious matter! My wife has been angling for a live-in au pair. I have been resistant to this...however, if I were to get a Swedish resident, could she then order shoes from you without any shipping issues given her residency? Or would I then have to pay VAT as a result? Please help :)

What????


Sounds like some kind of hocus pocus legal remedy to offset the new prices brought on by the likely EG policy change. LOL

FYI it's not hocus pocus, it's jiggery-pokery. One day soon, one of these SF comments will make Leaves' head literally explode.

This maybe a dumb question but I keep hearing the word Delapre when referring to EG. Would love to know what type of leather or what exactly it is.
Delapre is a slightly softer calf leather available in Chestnut, Dark Brown, Black, Blue and Racing Green. It is from a French tannery which treats the leather with more oily substances which provides the softer but still very elegant finish. This also makes the leather slightly harder to create a high shine and would probably work best for casual derbies or boots. The printed version of Delapre is called Utah.
