Today's Shoes

Day

Edward Green austerity brogues in burgundy antique (Beaulieu model, 888 last). These shoes differ from the Gravati shoes that I wore the other day in that the leather edges have been pinked (ie, a zig-zag pattern) on the Edward Green shoes but not on the Gravati. Pinking strengthens the leather edge, so the EG shoes have the toe cap and heel counter stitched to the vamp and quarter using a single row of stitching. Because the Gravati edges are not pinked, they have to have a double row of stitching.

Evening
