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

[madmonday]

like the laces they come with better Graeme, but admire the way you laced WandA up. i was that close to closing the deal on WandA but just couldn't for my own crazy reasons. great looking shoe & with the sale coming up maybe a few more will be released to the wild .  . .

The orange laces aren't as loud as they appear in that photo. Instagram juiced it up slightly. I like them because it gives the shoes a bit more attitude.

Not sure they need it though…

Monday, you're obviously completely mad in passing on these.

@Giles:

And here is the description from the horses mouth…...

"The W & Anchor Bros. Work Shoes No.1 use natural vegetable tanned leather as upper vamp .
The liner of outsole and insole is by Traditional Goodyear Welt sewing .

The toe and heel are with fiberglass hard-liner .
The insole is made from vegetable tanned harden leather .
All construction of shoes depend on steel metal piece .

The outsole is high anti-abrasive and skidproof , use Dr.Sole that a brand develop mixed cork material quality specially .

The size of shoes is US 7-10.5, 11, 12 and 13 in E width .
It’s suitable D till double E width through our modification .
Customer could choose size like Red Wing , WHITE’S , WESCO 、、、、 etc .  So true to US

We test constantly everywhere like blacktop , concrete floor , even snowfield (under twenty degree) , and the shoes always have a good condition. "

What is meant by "with our modification" the shoe will fit D to EE widths?

[Kurt-faith]

That means,
Because the design of shoes as attached two pictures.
So shoes could fit D to EE widths.

[SilverKing]

Did I read "true to size?" Looks like they run a big large (like 1/2 size large). But just to the naked eye. I could be completely off.

[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......

[Seul]

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 ?

[Graeme]

@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!**
