I really like the look of oxfords and, if I had my druthers, would wear them pretty much exclusively.

But I have really hard to fit feet and have a lot of trouble finding oxfords that fit even somewhat comfortably.

What are your favorite bluchers/derbies? If you had to wear them with a suit (Not ideal, I know. Yes, yes I'll go bespoke as soon as I can afford it) which would you chose?

So far I'm looking at some U-last London 3-eyelet derbies in cognac.

Thanks,
Cantab

I have a pair of bespoke shoes in black that are similar to the EG Exeter and wear them with lightweight suits.

The toe looks great under trousers, much like a monk (which I won't wear with suits but my reasoning is no more rational than Manton's for wearing monks but refusing to wear bluchers).

I'm partial to Ludwig Reiter Budapester, Weston demi-chaisses, and Sutor Mantellassi Norwegian-welted split-toes. Vass's Budapester might be better-made than Reiter's (I have no complaints about Reiter, mind), but I've not seen or tried one one.

Church's Grafton. I know some of you hate the corrected leather of the book binder finish. But I love them
