Anyone care explaining what's the different between the Novello last vs. St Crispin's Chiseled last?

I also have a pair on the Chiseled last, pictured on the left vs Novello on the right (same size).

Front picture:

Picture from the top:


I like the Chiseled last, but Novello is another league IMO.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the picture, the Novello definitely looks alot sleeker, though I don't know if I am into the extra length. I'm never a fan of the chiseled last, but the Novello looks like good compromise between the chiseled last and the Classic.

I saw the novello made up on pair at Leffot. I don't remember it seeming exceptionally long. It is very angular however.

Worked for me on the shelf. Didn't try them on..

I've always wondered how far you feet go in these 'pointy' lasted shoes? e.g. Just before the 'hard' bit or just after etc. (just editting a pic with ms paint would be fantastic :)
I've got an extremely short foot so I'm restricted to the 'chubby' lasts T_T
