Mark,

It was my pleasure, and glad it worked so well for you. Pretty easy really considering how good they are.

Ok, this stuff is just as bad as watches. Looking at the black Norwich from C&J. And still have the EG Galway in rosewood in my head...

Tell me about it. LOL


Just a thought.


Go the EG Galway route and skip the rest. If you don't you most likely will eventually. The sooner you get there the better. Have you consider the DOAK and Walnut Country Calf version?

Yes but ideally I just need (want) both. I don't have a black dress shoe yet so another pair of C&J will be a good choice for that I think. And then add the Galway rosewood when I feel comfortable spending that, will need a little more time for that.

Well, if you need any further ideas or enabling just let me know.



Good hunting, and good luck.

Dan, most of them look like they never see any wear, do you just collect them and only wear certain pairs, or only take a pic when they're new?
