I am looking for a pair of captoe shoes. I am choosing from Fratelli Rossetti or Grenson.
The Rossetti originally is $550 and on sale for $220.
The Grenson originally is $350 and on sale for 150.
Can anyone give me some suggestion?
Thanks.

What are the models? That will help. I like English shoes more than I like Italian, but that's just me. Useless without pics or model names at least

I am not familiar with these two brands.
It says Grenson Grained Leather Cap Toe Oxfords.
The other just says Fratelli Rossetti leather oxfords.

I have FR wholecuts. Could not be happy more. Very comfortable, sleek, light. Not as chunky as british shoes. Depending on the style, I would get FR for a dressier look. Quality is at least as decent as CJs I have (not very shoe person).

Fratelli Rossetti. For that money they should be amazing.

Fratelli Rossetti wins this by far. Nothing against Grenson but the ones you saw are not Grensons best line; not at that price.

+1 Fratelli Rossettis are great shoes and are sold by various sellers Down Under and have been for years.
