Spring in step is good (welt shoe).
Solid step shoe is good (wood peg).

Fritzl, are you telling me you think the JLP marston is blunt nosed? I don't.


my knowledge of lasts is sketchy at best but here goes:

Not blunt nosed: JLP 8000, G&G TG73 (actually any G&G), maybe EG888 (? depends on photo) alot of the AS and many Cleverly lasts.

Blunt nosed: most A&E, alden, alot of EG, most JLP St James, ect.................................

The style is called V-front. - Two or three eyelet derby, exposing a 'V' over the vamp.
