M last is ok, i know those that have it love it, i have tried but it fail me - i have a soft spot for Aldens but i just can not find a last that is suitable for my high arch, which make me wonder if all Americans have flat feet

I have high arches and narrow heels and I'm an American. I find Aldens Hampton last provides me the best fit. I have to admit my one pair of C&J's fits me better than any pair of Aldens I've ever tried.

a fair number of paprika customers, who are americans, have aldens, too. i'm owed a thrifted pair, i can play around. i don't have to worry, this would be my only pair of shoes. i'm an addicted local buyer, no worries.

More on this please.

And have you ever seen or heard of a suede or nubuck strap?

^ I know you asked Gazman, but AFAIK the 'cashmere' part is just what Panerai calls the colour of that particular strap (I think they call it 'Gold Cashmere').

As for a nubuck strap I would be surprised if Gaz doesn't have this.
