Thanks for the compilation. I have to say, price to quality and styling nothing stands out more than the AS. I have a lot of AS, but not this model. My first pair of good shoes were Aldens cap toe, so it was not something I needed, but if I were to start over, it would be AS all the way.I was intrigued by the premise of this thread. The black cap toe oxford is an anchor in menswear and should never be taken for granted. So many makers have offered their take on this quintessential style, making it difficult for the discriminating buyer to find a model that will fit well and stay within budget. Having recently sold my latest pair of black cap-toes, I am considering what my next purchase will be, so I decided to put together a database of comparable shots of many different lasts. I wanted to share what I found. Obviously, an overhead shot of a shoe will not give us a definitive idea of how it will fit one's foot, much less the quality of the materials and construction. But this comparison can at least provide a sort of benchmark for those who are considering investing in their next pair of timeless shoes.
