I have two pair of Church's captoe balmorals (black and brown). I have been eyeing Edward Green for a while, but I need to get my size MTO in most of the models I want.
The only shoe I've seen/tried on that is built on the Van last is the LHS and the low vamp on that model kills my high instep (doesn't matter whether I size down or stay TTS - going wide helps a little but not enough).
I have an 11D Indy with Trubalance last and a pair of LHS 11D with the van last. Both are comfortable. I would say the Indy has a ittle extra room in it t nothing that bothers me much. I would get the same size in both. PS: the LHS fit me like a glove.
I also only buy Aldens in cordovan or suede. For regular calfskin I buy Allen Edmonds or Crockett and Jones, with a strong preference for C&J. Wish I had some Vass, too.
Alden is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
Left: red/burgundy ravello (purchased Mayish 2011)
Middle: red/"carrot" ravello (purchased last month)
Right: Whiskey (purchased January 2012)
FWIW I've used mid tan Kiwi on the tassel loafers, have yet to wax the other two pair
