I'm thinking of getting a pair of chukkas in one of these two lasts and can't decide. My favorite shoe in terms of fit and looks is a pair of Aldens on the Hampton last. I've pm'ed a few people who know much more about this than I , and helpfully, thankfully, they've said that the R is a very British, conservative last, while the F is more elegant, but not too fashion forward. Still, I have a few questions that remain unanswered:

Does anyone own shoes in both the F and R?

Does anyone have pictures of both, perhaps side by side?

Can anyone comment on their shape relative to the Hampton?

Your thoughts appreciated.

No one knows anything? My real concern is fit, and I need to make a decision soon.

Is one wider than the other? Longer? Better for high or low arches?

Thanks!
