I don't think anyone has posted this yet. I just saw this new model on the C&J Paris website. I don't read French, but I think they say that this is the first hand grade shoe on the 348 last.

Overall nice though the cross between a wingtip and captoe throws it off slightly, for me at least.

I'm a big fan of that 348 last. Question is, why did they have to put that wing-tip on the nose? Less is more.

Gaziano does this style better, but I like this.

I am too, but only in theory. Having learned this week that a.)It doesn't fit my feet particularly well and b.) it often looks ridiculous in double-digit sizes, I've decided I prefer the 337.

Definitely my favorite of the ones shown. The holes on the G&G are too tiny and the C&J is kindo of wrong looking. Kiton does a nice shoe in this style. It is actually the only Kiton shoe that I like. I do not like this color however:

I agree on the Kiton Matt it's nickly shaped, but the color, yikes. Is that purple??

Dunno. Mine is a nice color. Still, I like the Lobb better.
