Dress shoes are designed with a slight curvature upwards toward the toe (toe spring). The curve looks more prominent on wooden lasts and lasted shoetrees (and also because they don`t have the heel lift to prop it up from the back). Sorry for my lousy description but I hope you get the point.

Why does the front have to bend up like this?
