Medallion Toe Shoe in Brown

[sscott]

I've been searching for a pair of medallion toe shoes in brown and have had a bit of trouble. The shoes should not have a cap toe, and I'm not looking for a wing-tip, but a simple medallion on the front of a mid to dark brown shoe that is not too expensive (I cannot go much higher than $500) and doesn't use an ugly, plastic-looking leather (Johnston & Murphy comes to mind).

Does anyone have any ideas? And if the maker has narrow sizes, that would be great. Please bear in mind I live in San Francisco, and do not travel to many places with a better selection.


I think I saw one in Rome by Harris, but for some reason did not buy it.
Gravati makes a nice medallion toe, but only in burgundy and black.
Canali had a beautitul one at Nordstrom (the polish was a richly textured brown and black that I really loved), but it was so wide and so long in the toe that my size 9 foot was sliding around in the size 8, so I had to pass.

Thanks for the suggestion. They look nice, and I noticed them in an earlier thread, but without trying on a pair of C&J shoes, I won't know if they fit well. I'll e-mail them to see if any San Francisco stores carry their shoes for a fitting, but otherwise those, unfortunately, are out for me.

I have never heard of Daskalos, so I think I'll pay them a visit this weekend.

Great suggestions so far. I hope there a rea few more options, but I like what I see.

That's funny you posted those - I just pulled an image of the same shoe to recommend.

Well they fit me 1 size lower than my US size. and plal.com will let you send them back and switch your size for free on your first order. They probably are the best value for your $ at the $400-500 range.
