AE Fifth Avenue Toe Cap against a Strand Toe Cap

Just took delivery of these 13B Fifth Avenues - is it just me, or does the smaller toe cap make the shoe look less elegant than the longer toe cap on the Strand? A 13B on the #5 last provides for a long and lean shoe, but am I just used to looking down at differently designed shoe, or is the Fifth Avenue making me feel the size of the toe cap makes it...dare I say, stubby?

I must admit I always let new purchases marinate for a few days, but I didn't expect to think this when I ordered them!

I really don't like the smaller top caps of PA or 5A on themselves.  But they do look good with full cut pants.

The Strand does look better. I have PAs as well and do find them to look a bit stubby as well. Seeing them side by side with the Strand and the shorter cap helps illustrate the issue.

I really anticipated them being the same as my old Cliftons, but they are a way off them too.

I have Park Avenues in merlot, 12D...the stubby toe cap does two things...looks weird compared to my old Sanfords, and makes the shoe flex in a different spot.
