Mark McNairy Ridgeway Long Wing

01

Info

—01. Ridgeway sole.

Words

Mark's footwear collection is known and loved by all, pretty much, and still hasn't managed to get boring. With a nice balance of classic, playful and tasteful, his collection offers buyers a great variety, as well as the opportunity to create custom make ups. I am eagerly awaiting a personal order that uses this upper and sole, but in the meantime I am happy to admire the version made for Fennica in Japan.

I should also say that this particular pair look'ok'---but still a bit cheap compared with ,say, an Alden equivalent.

[Ulysses]

Florsheim Imperial - much better option.

Who actually makes these?

[Simon Roe]

Headless... They are made by Sanders in England.

Maybe it's an English vs US design thing, but the long wing style doesn't look right to me. And frankly, that textured upper looks awful.
