The problem with liking only sleek lasts is the same problem as only liking chunky lasts, in certain outfits you are not going to be well put together. We see that regularly on the forum. Sleek lasts are fine if that is your thing but you need to realize that an elongated super antiqued double monk with a pair of cords/jeans looks bad. A worsted DB suit with clunky shoes looks bad. There are bad extremes at both the clunky/elongated end but if you stay in the middle ground of both and wear the right style with the right outfit, both lasts have a place in everyones closet. Horses for courses.

You either love shoes or you don't--these are different styles of shoe. I see the value in both.

Oh trust me bro. I love shoes. I appreciate the workmanship and aesthetic in these, I just find them fugalicious.

Great, Malford. Rain last?

I have no idea on Carmina lasts unfortunately. These were a £60 cheapy from the bay...

Regardless of pretensions, what an a$$ kissing statement that is.

jealous or dimwit?

What do you think AS homage to AH designs ? At afinepairofshoes under AS for AFPOS

do you mean the charlton? imo, it's a distant cousin. not bad looking, though.

alright. the monk and the ptb suede are great.

the last of vienna and salzburg lacks a bit, imo. i don't know of chukkas in the austro-hungarian heritage.

very good bang for the buck. go for it.

Couldn't have said it better myself...these days since I've been dressing more casually I prefer clunky lasts. The Vass F is as slick as I like to go, but that actually works well both with suits and jeans.

re: NSTs wasn't paying attention back there, but I like them and agree that they have their place everywhere except the boardroom.
