Re: Gaziano and Girling; Giant Strides in Shoe Design

Here's the thing with pointy shoes. When you are 5'7" and your foot is US9 EE, the added length of the point gives the shoe (to my eye) a grotesquely clownish length. And if the short man has a less troglodytic foot, say a dainty US9A size then he looks like an elf, or a temporally displaced comedia dell'arte performer.

As for lace ups, I love them on formal occasions, but for daily work where I'm slipping in and out of surgical scrubs and OR clogs, slip-ons save time when there are are other pressing matters.

What I do end up wearing a lot is full strap cordovan slip-ons. The new ones for work, the beat up ones for the weekend, and following (sot of) Guy Tales's advice, suede instead of sneakers.


Cógelo suave, pero cógelo.

FNB: the face on the girl in your avator is very beautiful. She has cute `baby cheeks' like the girl in my avator. smile

Re: Gaziano and Girling; Giant Strides in Shoe Design

Chisel toes are not for me either, Shooman. I was never taken with G&G designs.

However if you like that style you should investigate some of the French companies Finsbury etc. I cannot vouch for their construction but some of their offerings are of a similar type to what you have posted.
