I'm tempted to order this exact pair of boots but I rarely wear suits. I'm most often in odd trousers in cotton or linen in the summer and tweed/flannel in the winter.

I would certainly wear Edwardian boots in the summer with linen, but don't think they'll work well in the winter when the color of the tweed / wool will be much darker.

based on the amount of wear in this thread, i'd say never

I plan to wear them with jeans, for instance.

Yep - I'm loco! Seriously though, I have no trouble wearing bal boots in the spring / summer - I always get them unlined / very lightly lined anyway.

Unless I have a meeting or an event I plan on wearing these this summer w/cotton pants and polo or linen shirts. If anyone has anything to say too bad!

If the nice folks at EG ever decide to create a Gherkins model, this shoe would get my vote!

Shannon V with Beaulieu toecap, 82 last, Edwardian.

And because I am absolutely stunned by this shoe, let me add my tribute to the shoe fairy:

Absolutely stunning!!!

I'm not opposed to wearing high boots in the summer but to me they seem incongruous with a light weight fabric such as linen.

I didn't order them with that in mind, but who knows. Three years ago, I had no thought of ordering dress boots.

I share your stunnedness. These are freakin' ridiculous! I commend you. A 10 out of 10 from the Fairy.

Hello everyone, Here is the Avebury by C&J, size 9, width F which I acquired this week

I found out, however that size 9 in this width is equally long as 9.5 in size E That is why they fit so well

regards, dirk
