C&J makes those BB Peal punch caps on the 240 last. rebel222 recently posted some nice pics of his pair in the shoe pron thread. I believe Alden also makes a nice one.

These are not within your budget, but they are a nice example, and despite the photo angle you can see what I think are good proportions.
What I really like about them is that indoors (and in the photo), they look black, but are a rich red brown in sunlight.

I have a pair of those BBs on the 240 in Black (my wedding/funereal/ IV shoes). Lengthwise they are true to size, but may run a tad wide -- the Es are more like EEs.
Not the sleekest last out there -- they have a lot of volume, which also may account for them feeling a bit bigger/wider -- but a classic design that you can get for a good price on sale.

I like the BBs. I wish they weren't C & J though. I was initially going to pick up the Belgraves but I already have 3 pairs of C & J (2 348s and 1 337) so I thought it would be good to mix it up a bit.

are punched cap ideal for interviews, weddings and funerals? I am thinking of replacing my old plain captoe with a pair of punched capOriginally Posted by upnorth
A stitched cap is more conservative and but I think you'd be fine with a punched cap for those occasions.
