The high end Chinese Shoe Thread

I don't have any balmoral boot (my only dress boot is CJ Northcote), queensway definitely looks tempting

Apparently the Patterson boot shown is on the DR70 last.

I'm not much of a boot guy but the Dempsey and Yeolway are beauties ???

Haha no but close. I have a pair of insulated EBs and insulated Quoddys.

Last descriptions and leather types available

So the DR70 is the same as SG65 with a different toe shape, so I'm probably going to be taking the F (wide) width. I've asked them if its just the toe box area that's wider.

I'm leaning towards the misty brown patina base with brown Janus suede shaft for the design.

That’s a great choice. Would be interesting to see how it would look comparing to the most popular EG Dark oak/Mocha suede Galway.

Thanks. I think their "rustic oak" patina is probably their take on the EG dark oak/GG vintage oak.

The other suede colors are pretty interesting to me too (olive green kudu, dark brown kudu, grey). Fun decisions to make...

@clee1982 found some time after work to measure Huang tree and YC3 tree.

These are not scientific by any means lol.

I measured length, width at ball, height (tallest point) and heel circumference.


Huang

L - 29.3

Ball - 9.7

Height - 9.5

Heel - 11.5



YC3

L - 29.3

Ball - 9.4

Height - 9.4

Heel - 11.2

thanks! looks like OT's heel is just a bit bigger and in any case all seem "very close"

 

[BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes]

What it reveals to me is that I can probably use the YC3 shoe trees, if I find that the OT Huang trees fit other shoes. Whats Yeossal’s Pu equivalent?

You know what’s funny? Yeossal sent me an extra pair of yc8 trees for the Scotts awhile ago and they fit my SoH George really well.

Yeah I’m going to have to do the fit test again. I had more heel slip with the yc3 loafers than the Huang lazyman initially.

I, too, am looking to order a Yeolway...thinking a burgundy calf or grain leather with a suede shaft still TBD - thinking grey but any suggestions?

One of the other combos i was thinking about is the plum museum with grey suede.
