Look at the sole of the linked C&J for BB shoe.  A channeled sole means that stitching is not visible.

Edit: All three shoes have the same nail pattern. Doesn't a nail in the middle of the heel indicate C&J Construction?

While this list does look more realistic, the 40+15 is what my mgmt told me, and that's what our SAs pre-selling at.
The company did change some of the sales comparing to last year. We didn't have the shirt sale this year, and we introduced Black Friday sale at retail locations.
There are also different labour laws in Canada, that enforce the company to pay higher fees on payroll. However, the movement is to lower prices in Canada to bring it closer to US prices.

C&J Peals use a different font for the name "Peal & Co" on the insole. The blocky font on the left shoe is C&J. The other shoe is not C&J.
