Are these shoes too round?

[k4lnamja]

Thoughts?

Yes. Are those Church's?

They look fine. It's really a matter of personal preference as to what one enjoys wearing and I see nothing wrong with these,
in fact I probably have a pair or two myself that closely resemnle this toe shape.

They look fine. Too square is a much bigger issue than too round.

I guess I've always had the perception that (from the pics I see on here) the "sleeker" the shoe the better it is, therefore, a round toe is not as nice as one as a chiseled.

I think the shoe looks too wide but if your feet are wide too, than so be it. What width are these?

If I'm not mistaken, these are Church Perth's. Here's another angle. My prognosis: too bulbous

People get all hot and bothered for certain lasts, but if you look at C&J or EG, you'll see they have a bunch of round lasts as well.

Likewise, TBNY , Kenneth Cole, etc. have all caught up with the chiseled last trend.

Width is D. My width is a C/D. It's right in the middle.

Yes, Perth's. Bulbous? Haha. Good way to put it.

As a fat foot dude, I may be somewhat biased toward clodhopper designs. I think they look fine, but I also tend to think of meatier shoes as feeling a bit more casual.
