They make a nice driver. Quality is nice, and very comfortable. Many members on here will agree also.

I've found that it's pretty easy to get a nice shine with Saphir Pate de Luxe. A couple layers of wax followed by a wipe down with a lightly misted rag (after each layer of wax) will bring out a mirror shine in no time.

Thank you very much Wesley.

I agree and I pulled the trigger on them last week. However, I am still waiting for them to be delivered (as I wanted black in my size...as opposed to green).

Once you're in the $1000 range, your options open up to some serious shoemakers. I agree with Dan that with fashion houses, a big portion of what you're paying for is the name.

They do have "Goodyear construction."

But I would have to be honest that I don't own any Gucci shoes but I do own a good number from brands both which cost less and many which cost more. Consensus generally tends to be that fashion brands such as Gucci who tend not to make their own shoes generally charge more for the name and not as much for the actual product. So if you were to buy a shoe from the company that actually made these at the same specifications but minus the Gucci name I'm certain they would cost much less. Does that mean they will explode after the third wear absolutely not, however I think you could probably do better if you purchased directly from an actual shoemaker.

Regardless, if you like them and your happy well there you go.

I appreciate the thoughts. I will have to poke around. If the same thing is available, but without an expensive rebranding, I will pull the trigger. I could care less about the name on them.

Looking good! For a dressier boot, they look great with jeans.

Herring Kinghtsbridge shoes, I think these were made by Cheaney. Very reasonably priced at about £225, hold polish really well and super comfy, I have had these nearly 3 years.

Thank you very much Jim, your shoes are fabulous, I will definitely have to have a look in the G&G shop.

[dddrees]

Wes,

My friend just got back with me and said E.G. was not able to make a Galway in Zug because they don't have and are not willing to try and source any Zug.

I can't wait to hear about it. Good Luck, and I hope you find what you are looking for.

It is raining out so I will wear these Cheaney boots, the uppers are remarkably very soft. They go very nicely with jeans.

I have something similar in color as these are in Arran Country Grain.
