Thanks - fixed

awesome argoth! thanks a lot - I added these (although for some reason the first C&J picture doesn't show up for me...). We're making progress..

Thanks Arg - I added these two - is that C&J (RL Benton) benchgrade or handgrade?

I'm not sure there is a general answer. I don't think EG and C&J heels are different when they make for other brands. Mantellassi's soles for Zegna are slightly different from their own patterns

BTW, does anyone have pictures of other shoemakers' heels? e.g. Cheaney, Poulsen, Loake, Sargent?
