If I were to restart my shoe journey today, I would save a small fortune buying preowned. In the UK there is an active second market of shoes with various levels of wear but all significantly discounted incl CJ and EG
I would like to know how comfortable both shoes are? I guess because of the rounder shape in the front the Edward Green is much comfortable. You also see more wrinkles on the CJ which might be because of the tightness and the room left in the front, right?
They’re pretty equivilent. Some lasts will always fit better than others and the EG is a chisel last while the CJ is almond. But both are equally comfortable. Usually if you fit the shoes properly that shape will be in front of your foot so doesn’t impact comfort.
