Alternative would be C&J Audleys from PLAL at $440 delivered.

Very hard to beat for a classic cap toe, IMHO

 

[rioni]

square eh?

 

[Thomas]

go with the black captoe.

 

[rioni]

That doesn't help much deciding between the two

I like B.

In terms of quality, B is probably much higher, and a good deal cheaper too. Since B is a BIN, I'll refrain from disclosing the maker (honestly, I think its a really good deal, and if I were in the market for something like that I would take it).

Hmmm... I could not identify the maker on B, but I think they look like better made shoes (which is highly speculative without touching and given the quality of the pic). I was thinking the reason for the preference to A was that someone posted they are Sutors. I am curious what would happen if you made the big reveal.

Ill let OP decide if he wants to reveal the maker. IMO, the pics he put up are not a fair representation, some pics of the same shoe (new, and in a slightly different color), URLs are scrambled

Your photos pushed me over the edge, ended up picking them up for 250ish after cashback. For all of those who were wondering they are STEFANO BEMER VALEXTRA. Any rough estimates on how many times these have been worn? I was thinking somewhere around 5-10 times

 

[idfnl]

A, definitely

 

[MarquisMagic]

A would be my choice. Slightly sleeker and nicer finish...but the straight-lacing might be adding to that. If you opt for B, lace them like A.

 

[Parker]

B. good choice.

and also another pic of them (or similar shoes from same maker) new / thanks heli0x

Anyone who thinks these are the same shoes needs to see an optometrist ASAP. The last is quite different.
