I get your point, but, to me, a faux toe cap is aesthetically unpleasing. I much prefer the design as it is.

These are elegant. Less is more. Like the squarish toe in suede - it's unusual.

I really like the style Luk-Cha, just without the triple welt. My preference would be a double leather sole with a storm welt
