Split Toe Derby

I feel like buying from one and then the other is redundant. The shoes are made by the same people just for different audiences. Personally I see very minute differences between the two.

The SoH SpTD might look more like the Dover. That's about it.

Here a picture of a pair on the YSQ:

also for comparison - i opted to go with the YC3 - also kinda squarish

I, too, went with YC3 in the saddle brown hatch. And once again, I tip my cap to the folks at Yeossal with their outstanding customer service...many thanks @jacksomeister for helping with my sizing questions!

well, if you think the SoH version looks more like Dover then I know where I'm going...

Those are some seriously beautiful shoes. I might have ordered them if i had not already ordered my Oct Tenth Split Toe in Hatch Grain last month.

Since both of them are using the same maker in China. I am sure it will look quite similar to this.

As a matter of fact, i just got an email from Tom that the shoes are done and well be shipped to him sometime next week.

wait, i thought split toe is harder to make, how did you guys step ahead of us lazyman!!!

Haha. Well that's what I think, but both do look similar.

I would be curious to see both shoes side by side.

It is definitely harder to make. As to why we are ahead of the Lazyman shoe, we asked first ?.

by the way because someone "cough" mentioned one version is closer to EG Dover than the other (ever so slightly), now I'm in the rabbit hole of pulling up every picture and comparing them...

my assessment so far, can't tell probably need someone take the plunge and do a side by side...

 

[BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes]

I would say the closest I have seen (in pictures) to the Dover may be the Miyagi Kogyo SpTD. 103 or 301 (I don't recall the correct style number).

You had me at Dover .. ?

I think the GMTO got 4 people the day Tom announced it. I think he has close to 9-10 people for the burgundy hatch grain SpTD.

And maybe the lazyman is being true to itself ?

There were a lot of guys in on that SpTD. I thought it was even more than that oddly enough.

quite possible.. i went by that assumption (i could be wrong) because tom said he is sending leather enough to make around 10 pairs.. this was sometime back and i am sure things could have changed ...

I don't know tbh. I need to ask the friend of mine who got them.

Just found this thread and read through the last 12 pages or so. Thinking about pulling the trigger on the Zonkey Boot StD in Mahogany calf. How does it compare to the EG DOAK Dover aside from the construction method? It's on the classic last and my Dover is on 202, but I also own 82 and 888 lasted EG's as well.
