Am I the only one....

Who thinks every god damn split toe shoe is ugly and not the least bit elegant?

 

[SoCal2NYC]

No you are not.

 

[falsestart]

[R.O. Thornhill]

In complete agreement

 

[EricE.]

I like the split-toe.

I've yet to see a split toe I'd buy. They're pretty nasty.

 

[DocHolliday]

They've grown on me, but yeah, traditionally not my favorites. I do think they're one of the styles that look better with wear -- instead of judging them fresh from the box, check out a well-worn, well-loved pair. Most still don't set me on fire, but I can appreciate the rumpled casualness of them.

Best "country shoe" design out there.

Also works very well for a stylish blucher

I ordered a pair of the Brooks pebble grain split-toe (by C&J, IIRC) in December and loved it. Didn't think I would. but it was really nice looking. I don't like the plan calf nearly as much, though.

I have a pair of Zegna ST's and love em'

By the way, those Lobb's are the poop....and in a good way

Those are way too pointy for me. The charm I find in split toes is that they're somewhat rugged, not dainty and stylized.

I like both - the country split-toe (rounder last, pebblegrain, double-sole or rubber sole) as well as the city split-toe (e.g. EG Dover on 888, JL Portman)

I KNEW that someone was going to post either a JLP or an EG shoe and say well... look at this.
