They look great! Love them! Curious how these might look in suede...New shoes just arrived.
ML Adelaide Oxford Quarter Brogues in Vegano Burgundy from Skolyx.
boy, that really make the Van Gogh last look pointy. It looks like it has more rounded corners whereas the Picasso has sharper corners.It isn't much but here's what I got from Toni, a side by side comparison of the Picasso and Van Gogh. They really need to add top down pictures rather than the soles.

I was just about to place an order, but I'm reconsidering now.
So, here's some shots.
Two Van Gogh samples:

Van Gogh to the left, Picasso to the right:

Van Gogh to the left, Picasso to the right (not perfectly aligned toe spring due to different shoe trees, and hard to capture the shapes, but anyways):

And a film, Van Gogh to the left with wooden TLB shoe tree, Picasso to the right with plastic Skolyx travel shoe trees.
So, as I stated earlier and which I hope is evident now, they are very similar in terms of how square they are and how chiseled the sides are, but Van Gogh has a more chiseled toe tip with a sort of "ridge" when seen in profile, while Picasso has a more even downwards flow all the way forward.

Thank you. This is perfect. I was very afraid this might happen!
I like both!
Did you use different shoe trees so you wouldn't mix them up, cus to my (untrained) eyes they are pretty difficult to differentiate
In your personal opinion, which one would you say is more formal? Let's say I wanted the same shoe model in black and in brown, which last would you use for black, and which for borwn?Hehe that's just good, you can't go wrong either way
It's not a huge difference, but in person it's quite evident, more so than what can be achieved with an iPhone
