Today's Shoes

Day

Edward Green split-toe chasse shoes with a hand-stitched apron and toe seam in light British tan calf (EG calls it Edwardian Antique -- Dover model, 808 last). The shoes pictured to the left are Dovers in Edwardian Antique, only on the round-toe 202 last instead of the square-toe 808. I bought my pair through George Bass, a retailer in New Orleans. They took over ten months to arrive. I'm not sure if that's because of problems with George Bass or problems with Edward Green. That's a long time to wait for a pair of shoes, but the Dover is the second most sublime shoe design in existence.

Evening

Gravati cap-toe bals with reversed seams and a leather-stitched faux-brogueing on the toe cap and throat in tobacco suede (16492, 655 last).
