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

[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 . . .

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

[Giles]

Yep (well, I am anyway)….

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…..

Picked these up in the sale. Very excited.
