W&A-01 - The W & Anchor Works Shoes No. 1

[Graeme]

My pair seem to be a similar size to my Redwings. I'm normally UK 13, US 14, and EU 48, and mine are a US 13.

[redchris]

I love my pair, any chance of future models ?

[Giles]

Not from me.  My agreement with Wesco is that if I want world domination, I can only carry Wesco…..But I know that Kurt is working on other models and I can help you buy......

GILES WANTS WORLD DOMINATION!..

Well better him than IS I guess…

[Graeme]

@Simon has considerably smaller feet than me!

[Seul]

I hope that's where you stopped comparing sizes…

There are some in the pipe, I'm seeing Kurt in a week or so, so I'll ask him…

Any news on future models Giles ?

@Simon is like a tripod! :o

[Giles]

One of my fave emails ever…....

**Hello Giles and Co.,

Those W&A-01 size 8.5 shoes you special ordered for me?

I hate them.

I don't want to ever take them off.  They're that damn nice.  My partner is Japanese, and expects me to take off my shoes as soon as I come home.  Where's the fun in that?  So now, I have to decide if I ever want to set foot inside my apartment ever again.

Thanks a lot for making my life so difficult.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE SHOES!**

@Graeme or @Simon or who ever else has a pair, let me see your shoes with some wear . . .

[Beerhammer]

So are we all agreed that you order one half size down from your wesco/whites size??

[Giles]

Yep (well, I am anyway)….

[Graeme]

Sorry about the delay in getting this up @madmonday - I've been having phone issues. By that I mean that mine died, and then Google failed to deliver a replacement.

The leather has a thin layer of the dark brown dye, this has worn off on the toe caps, and in a few other places. I've put a small hole in the lining of the shoe at the heel, and the heels also need replacing at some point, but overall they're in reasonable shape. I've had them for 18 or 20 months, and worn them a lot.

Very nice!!!
Is a rerun in another colour planned? Maybe something teacore blackish?

[Giles]

Not that I know of…..

[Beerhammer]

Picked these up in the sale. Very excited.

Thanks @Graeme
