I have both. MacNeil is just too wide and clunky next to the sleeker McAllister . It's also a longwing blucher considered less dressy. I also have the McAllister sister shoe Cambridge in Shell. I'll never wear MacNeil again. It's going to eBay next week .. 11.5 D.

Great feedback. Sounds like the McAllister is the most flexible for dressing up or down of the two.

Any ideas as to why the MacNeil is the more expensive?

McCallister. I just like the look of it and am not a fan of long wings to begin with. For the time being, of course.
