Toward the end of last year (2018), I commissioned 3 semi-bespoke cap toe Oxfords, all in Burgundy antique, from three different makers. All done on “modified standard” lasts to varying degrees.

And the candidates are in. Who did it best?

1. St. Crispins Model 522B (design modified)
2. GC Cleverley’s Anthony Cleverly Nakagawa
3. Edward Green Cadogan 202C Last

Mind you the Cleverley’s were shot professionally at the shop while the other two on my iPhone at home.

According to me, the best one is the Cadogan by Edward Green by far.
But I think it's because I will get one in the future.

But each shoes are beautiful.

I'm not a big EG fan but I think the EG looks the best with the SC a close second. The GC toebox looks too long and throws the balance off with the rest of the shoe.

I like the Cleverley Nakagawa, the curve on the last makes the shape more pronounced. Though it would be better if you put all those three shoes on a single photo and at the same angle. Cheers.

The Cadogan is a lovely shoe and impossible to find in burgundy off the rack.
