I would say the reason may be that cap toe shoes look better on a sleeker last. The barrie last (one of my favorites) is not sleek, some people even call it clunky. So I don't think it would look as good as other lasts such as the Aberdeen and Hampton.

Sounds good, sorry to ablige but could you provide a phone number to call? I looked it up from the Alden website and only found an address and no telephone number. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Is it possible to tell which last a shoe is on just by looking at it? Got some that I'm eyeing but I'm not sure if they're the right size for me.

TheShoeMart lists the last in the shoe description.. Most sites do as well.

Thanks. I found the model number and figured out the last with a quick google search.
