I'm looking for a single monk with a cap toe and a rounded last.

I would prefer a captoe for aesthetic and practical reasons. (Looks less bland; mask some of the wrinkles that form in the front)

Kind of like these C&J lasts, but with a monk strap, and preferably in brown. Haven't been able to find anything like it.

The C&J Savile is too sleek and also has a plain toe

Ditto for the Monkton

Alden monk has a nice round last, but it is plain toed as well

I'd appreciate any recommendations.
