Is castorino suede in general softer than standard calf leather?

Is it possible to post a side view of the toe? I am interested in the chukka that has the same "bulbous" toe, but I hesitate because I am unsure of the way it looks...

The chukka also has the same Vibram sole. How confortable is it? Better than Vibram Gumlite?

How about a pic of the chukkas? Vibram 2060 is quite comfortable.

Thanks! 👍

The chukka looks great... guess I will have to accomodate an unexpected expense on the budget 😢

Yes. I have boots and derbies in castorino suede.

Yuk!

Yuk!

Don't like them much either. These mixtures of suede and leather - well they can look nice, but how do you take care of them? I suppose if you're very careful about polishing the calf, and not touching the suede.
Main thing is, I'm pretty sure these shoes are at least 1 whole size too big for Zyppyh! He's certainly slipping around in them.

From Division Road? Very nice! I had been eyeing them for a while but got the black version as I had no black boots. Posted them a week or two ago.

Yep, they are from DR. I like how you called them the indecisive Stows.

Cross posting in C&J thread, taking a poll:

Tricker’s Bourton in espresso or Crockett & Jones Pembroke in dark brown wax calf?

Well, the Tricker's is chonkier and the C&J slightly more streamlined. But both look good.
What's your style, more casual outfits and casual suits or sharper clothing and structured suiting?
In fairness, I would wear either for both of those options so...
