Good timing on this thread. Stopped into Paul Stuart the other day to check out the sale. Selected 3 shoes to try on and, to my surprise, I chose a C&J on the 348 last. (I believe it's the Exmoor in the burnished mahogany). I agree that the 348 last is a bit elongated but I thought it looked quite spiffy in blucher form (and I'm not really a blucher fan). Now, they also had a 348 in a 2 eyelet derby which would be appropriate for a spiffy clown. Those appear really elongated. There was another guy there checking out shoes - we started talking shoes and he clearly new his stuff - and he also ended up getting the Exmoor even though he went in specifically to try on a couple of their A&S models.
