The lasts are very similar. But the strap on the Gucci is oh-so-ugly

harv - don't judge a pair you've never seen before, because you'd fail.

Those of us who have seen the Gucci MTO line, and i'm not sure monty's is a recent iteration at all of that line, know what we are talking about. These are serious shoes, and while not true bespoke (I dont know the details about their line at all) - these shoes are very high end - they put a lot of EGs and G and G's to shame, bluntly speaking. If one did not know these were gucci, they'd be lauded. The lasts, finishing, etc are among some of the best I have ever seen. The soles were not AS/GG/MarcellHun quality, but still were very nice - I was shocked when informed they were done in house at Gucci.
