Crockett & Jones for Cleverley "Adam" (337 last):
The toe cap looks a little small to me, given the length of the shoe. Comparison pic with another pair of C&J adelaides on the 337 last:
- I think the larger toe cap and brogueing on the brown shoe looks better.
Cleverley Semi-bespoke "Peter":
The toe looks quite... square. I guess this is the Cleverley shape that they're famous for, but I think it'll take me a while to get used to it. Comparion pics with the C&Js:
You can see that, while the two shoes are the same length, the Semi-bespoke last is much sleeker and more shapely than the C&J 337, which looks bulky in comparison. This sleekness comes at a price though: the Semi-bespoke shoes are quite narrow (mine are in a UK D fitting - I'm not sure if this is standard), so they'll probably be a harder fit for people. It also makes the Semi-bespoke shoes look very long on my feet - again, something that I'll have to get used to.
