I love G&G's innovation and quite apart from any "gimmick effect" that might be imported by the seamlessness and single visible stitch, I think these look really nice. Those black shoes remind me of something Tony was wearing in an old post on the Leffot blog. (Those were brown Balmorals: http://blog.leffot.com/wp-content/up.../dsc_07153.jpg (English sense of the term as opposed to Adelaides). Thes eaint bad either: http://blog.leffot.com/2011/02/25/gg-magic/ J

I like that diamond punching like you see also on the Grenson Masterpiece shoes like the Timothy.

Gazman, what had been achieved between August 2010 and February 2011? Were the shoes re-lasted?

Balmoral and adelaide are not synonymous.
