Gaziano & Girling Arrival

I have a really bad back and have been actively trying to fight off major back surgery.

I've done everything I & the doctors have thought about. I have been a "Shoe guy" for quite some time, but have never tried anything ultra high end as I didn't want to fall down the hole.

Because of my back my wife suggested I go out and see if there is any difference between the high end MTO's or even bespoke vs. my Allen Edmonds.

So off I went with her permission and support.

Several months ago I went online to Gaziano & Girling and ordered a pair of MTO's. They were wonderful to deal with. They sent me a "Fitting" shoe to make sure that the last I was choosing was appropriate, they then got on the phone with me to discuss what if anything I was feeling. After our conversation they were going to make some minor changes to accommodate my foot they set off to make them.

After 12-16 weeks they showed up today! All I can say is WOW!!

The attention to detail the color and Patina work, the velvet shoe bag. the velvet cloth wrapping the shoes with a rubber mat in between. The brochure and the card about "Founding Principles" are an attention to detail which I love. No wonder they are a recent recipient of a Royal Warrant!

I am excited to go home and try them on and see how they feel.

This however, may lead me to try a "Bespoke" shoe in the future but who knows.

Not sure if anyone has any experience with G&G but I'd love to hear it if you do.

Thanks in advance
