AE Dryden as square toe ?

[talldesk]

Is the AE Dryden considered a square toe ?

The toe is slightly squared. I have a pair. Not my favorite shoe, but I like it and would consider it fairly conservative and very much unlike most square-toed shoes.

dryden has a very peculiar looking toe. even more so than its same last style counterparts. never warmed up to the dryden.

.....opinions may differ like these, but AE Drydens are not what the majority here regard in "square toed" contempt. This differenc really defies words becuase "square-toeness" goes long a spectrum. Look at a pair pf Drydens, then look at a pair of ubiquitous Kenneth Coles. Then you'll see the difference.

Nope, not a square toe.

I think the Dryden's one of the better-looking AEs. Having a slightly squared toe is different than being shaped like a brick.

+1. I like the Dryden and think they look great in all but the most formal situations.

I've seen drydens and I've seen square toes. Believe me, I have some experience with shoes. It still is peculiar looking in my book and I never warmed up to it.

I think it is very nice looking shoe. I recently picked up a pair from grapevinehill when they had their 20% off sale. The toe is squared off a bit but it looks fine to me.
