If this is your plan ... I suggest the Rosemoor.

The Belgrave 'recolouring' was a happy accident. I didn't even think before applying a bit of brown cream to it, and whaddayaknow, I kinda liked the result. But the novelty of recolouring has worn off though, so I don't foresee this new shoe getting any crazy treatment.

I like all of them. I have the Westbourne.

How different is the toe on the 358 last? The 348 is slightly too pointy for my taste.

It's amazing how uniform the coloring is. It looks like a dark brown straight out of the C&J factory. Thanks for sharing.

You're most welcome. It was a happy accident - without thinking, I mistakenly applied dark brown cream... and liked the result. It is not evident in the photo, but some of the C&J 'burnishing' still comes through in bright sunlight, giving a very slight variegated appearance.

Just taken a few pictures in my bedroom. So, no comments about the "quality" of the photos
