Thanks for the compliment guys! I've just broken it in recently and it feels like a glove!! The first hour or so felt like there's no circulation going around my foot and my toes went numb lol but after that, the leather just fully conformed to my foot and it just feels great! This is my first high-end shoe as I've had two 7yr old Johnston Murphy captoes for my daily beaters, a pair of Moreschi's and Bruno Magli's - I thought it was about time. The difference is night and day! It just feels of high quality (but not to knock my other shoes as they're also very well done) @mrboombasteke - I manage a financial institution @twotone - funny enough, I know about the 'back' part as I have a bad lower back from racing karts and formulas. I know of this value you speak of I was considering AE's but jumped into Johnston & Murphy's as I had corporate discount with the Jos.A.Banks store - I would rate AE very high in quality as well

I finally bought my first pair of G&G's!! It is a model specifically made for the store >Bespoke England< - I guess a special edition of sorts. It's on MH71 lasts and I opted to have steel toe tips put it. I'm really hard on the heels and tips of my dress shoes. I was going to have brass nails put it instead but the steel tips look amazing and super sturdy! I'll save the nails for when I buy their dressier, more formal shoes so it doesn't click-clack around the floor. The size is 5.5UK E-width - I'm normally a US 7D and this is SNUG! Length-wise it is perfect but the width fits more like a C. It's also abit tight across the top of my foot but it's new and it'll stretch out to conform to my foot after a few wears. On to the pics!

still no silver borders?

Stop making me want these watches Doc!!!!! my pockets are already hating me lol

No worries mate! I definitely appreciate the scouting We each only see a little part of a bigger world and this forum pieces all of us together, methinks at least

Ah, well at least I interpreted something right today lol Thanks for the link! 240 CNY is dirt cheap in USD!! wow! Now only if I'm able to translate that site

Oohhhh ok. When he said he has a cheap rep of the 5127 in 21j I assumed that it was the pic he posted! I've been doing some 'selective reading' all day today Coffee isn't helping either. Need to up the espresso shots! Thx for clarifying.

Wow where did you get that? Did a quick search and couldn't find a dealer that carries it Looks great! Whats the size?

Great tip! I did not know about this. Thanks Doc!
