Something about the proportions of a narrow shoe always looks better than a wide shoe. And second, the fashion in Europe these days, in haute couture, is the long narrow square toe. That too will pass. You need to look past those minor and variable details to the workmanship and the styling. Finally, these are more continental in styling than would be found at a West End London maker such as John Lobb, St. James Place. http://www.johnlobbltd.co.uk/main/main.htm
