Today's Shoes

Day

Edward Green half-brogue bals in British tan calf (EG calls it chestnut antique -- Cadogan model, 202 last). These shoes were purchased at the original Saks Fifth Avenue after a day of tromping around Manhattan, and I consequently got them larger than they needed to be. All of the advice says to try on shoes in the afternoon because feet swell during the day. I imagine that this is good advice, but don't do it after walking on concrete for several hours.

Evening

Edward Green single buckle ankle boots in dark oak calf (Olney model, 606 last). Another purchase from the original Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. These would be more comfortable if EG had either made them a bit taller so that they didn't hit on my ankle bone or if the upper part of the boot had been unlined. Boots of the same model and on the same last are shown in the picture above.
