Galway | Suede | Mink | Exclusive
UK sizes

The Hand Exclusive Galway Mink Suede is a sophisticated reimagining of Edward Green's classic field boot, curated specifically for The Hand. Crafted from luxurious mink suede, this version offers refined elegance, contrasting with the rugged country look of leather Galways. Its standout feature is delicate contrast stitching—a rarity that highlights the iconic V-shaped side panels and toe cap, maintaining the boot’s structured silhouette.
Founder Dennis explains: “I wanted a boot that captures city elegance while keeping the timeless comfort and craftsmanship Edward Green is known for. The suede adds softness, but the stitching ensures its structure remains intact—a rare balance of refinement and durability.”
Originally designed in 1930 for British officers, the Galway remains one of Edward Green’s most iconic creations. It’s formed around the softly-rounded 202 last and comes with a sturdy Dainite rubber sole.
Versatile and elegant, this boot pairs equally well with flannel trousers or denim. For us at The Hand, it feels more like home in the city than the countryside and can be worn year-round. Whether for a business trip or everyday wear, its sleek lines and luxurious comfort make it an essential. Wear it to formal meetings and transition seamlessly to a more casual evening look.
Available with a matching belt, socks, shoe trees, and a suede brush to maintain its perfection.

Sizing notes: Relaxed and supportive fit
Width: E-width
- Use Shoe Trees: Insert well-fitting shoe trees to maintain shape and extend lifespan, especially if shoes get wet. Premium suede can handle rain.
- Brush Regularly: Use a high-quality suede brush (preferably natural rubber, like Turms) to remove dirt. Use a welt brush to remove dust and dirt trapped in the crevices.
- Handle Stains Professionally: For stubborn stains (e.g., oil), consult a cobbler to treat with suede shampoo.
- Avoid Overusing Protective Sprays: Choose a natural protector; limit silicone sprays as they block leather pores and reduce breathability.
